    Already get the feeling that we'll be part of quite a few prime-time blockbusters this year.

    Collingwood, North and Hawthorn all at home are massive games

    Because it's not GWS' training ground any more?

    They train at their "stadium" on the RAS site at Olympic Park.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Beat you Rob

    Pretty decent looking draw to me. I like all the 1.xxpm and 4.xxpm starts for home games - makes life much more comfortable for those travelling up for the games from Canberra and other country areas.

    Play Carlton x2, GWS x2 , Hawthorn x2, North x2, Richmond x2 - got to be pretty comfortable with that grouping.

    Nice to see us heading down to Tassie for a game again - Its on the definite away day list for next year for me, as I've missed our previous games down there.

    Only 5 games in Melbourne again however, with 1 of them at the @@@@tery down south.

    Five games in Melbourne, plus one in Geelong and one in Hobart (both practically suburbs of Melbourne) and Hawthorn at the SCG. I like this fixture

    Edit: Four games in Melbourne. I think when flicking through initially I counted the Blundstone game

    Some quick points from the fixture:

    - 6 day breaks x 5. Both Hawks games, the Cats at Skilled, Port at home and Carlton at home

    - 3 x Friday night games

    - 1 x Thursday night game

    - 13 x day games (inc. twilight)

    - 5 x Sat night games

    - Only 2 x MCG games.

    - 2 x Etihad and 1 x Geelong.

    - Teams we play twice - Hawthorn, North, Carlton, GWS, Richmond.

    - 1 game in each of Hobart, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast.

    But at least the 3 games taken away (bar the Collingwood game) are hardly ground breakers - happy to be playing Carlton and Essendon out at the concrete jungle.

    No Saturday night games at the SCG. Round 1 is our only Saturday night home game for the season. The other two ANZ Stadium games being day games will probably help the surface be less slippery at least.

    I'm definitely keen on the Hobart trip. Launceston was a blast in 2012.

    Why do we have to play in Geelong every year??!!

    Note also that the North game in Hobart is a 1.45pm start.
