    WTF. Thursday night? That eliminates the kids. It also eliminates a goodly number of people who do not live within the city precincts. I wonder if the AFL know how big the city of Sydney actually is. I can get there, but I know of at least 8 people who have put a ruler through this date. They actually have jobs. Why couldn't they give this to Collingwood instead I ask?

    Sydney/NSW will probably get those games on 7mate.

    wow how many were shown in 2012 and 2013 as i found myself downloading so many games in the past two years.

    Ahh the Buddy factor..it will ensure that will get top billing in the media for the next 5 years.

    It is the opening match of the Indigenous Round. I think the AFL want to take advantage of the Franklin, Goodes, Jetta combo (and the unfortunate controversy for Goodes last year) + Geelong's indigenous players, to get the round under way.

    Yep I got rid of mine. I can usually find a live feed when its not on fta and the money is useful for other things. What is interesting is after I cancelled they rang a couple of times offering me the same package at less than half what I was paying.

    For those who have used the ical calendar I have set up each year, I have just included 2014 season in the current one, so you don't have to reimport it each year.

    For those who haven't, here is the link to import https://www.google.com/calendar/ical...blic/basic.ics

    No upgrade for me. There are too many night games again. Will watch them on TV.

    They could have started it as a Friday night game like this year. Strange night for Sydney.

    Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

    Completely agree with this and previous posters. All timeslot/dates aside, who we play and where we play them is an awesome outcome for us.

    Not sure Kurt and Buddy agree wholeheartedly regarding the draw, but the flag keeps looking better and better.
