It's a pretty relevant point WP.

You lose a home game to the Gold Coast and also a potential away game to make for it at a ground that is only going to hold 24000 next year due to the redevelopments!  THat's about the size of Aurora Stadium!

Geelong only care about the money they make from their own "boutique" stadium which is far more $$$ than at the Dome or 'G.

Oh Geez thanks alot AFL.
Remember going to Kardinia Park in round 2 1992 and we lost by over 20 goals. OK this aint 1992 but I don't relish that challenge so early in the season especially to a team that kicked 11.23 in a gf and probably should have won.
If that is accurate Carlton is a must must must win for Wallace otherwise he might be staring down the barrel very very very early in the year with the media just increasing the pressure on our board to act on Wallace. Sink or swim as simple as that.

One year the AFL might give us a team to play in the first round we have half a chance against...though we did beat them this year didn't we.

The article doesn't say exactly when except it'll be in the first round of the NAB Cup.

The draft roster for 2009 is believed to have Alastair Clarkson's men playing the Kangaroos, St Kilda, Brisbane and West Coast after a pre-season match against Richmond.

Caro was wrong. We are playing Adelaide up on the Gold Coast.

McLachlan confirmed Carlton will be playing Fremantle, St Kilda will tackle the Melbourne Demons and Richmond are booked to play Adelaide.

"Carlton, St Kilda and Richmond are three of our biggest six clubs and Adelaide have a strong supporter base -- and their fans travel."

Hopefully the Hawks with a shorter preseason and bigger fish to fry won't care about the NAB Cup. It'd be great to get a win early just to build momentum.
