Thats p-weak. Wonder if the cricket ground stoush has something to do with it? Doesn't seem worth making the effort to go down for now and it will never reach the Blockbuster status it nearly did if it's going to become just another R1 match.

Cricket & Easter conspiracy.

As long as we beat those cheating scum I really don't care when the game is. :gotigers

Better that we don't open the season.. No pressure.
-
its better then playing the season opener at Etihad like the AFL suggested might happen a few months back.
-
What a load of crap. Why drag round 1 out over 2 weeks.
They should do the opposite, make it wall to wall football.
-
Whilst drawing Round 1 over 2 weeks is stupid and that the traditional Richmond v Cheats game should be the first game of the year not the first game in Melbourne or the Home of Football here's my silver lining
Adelaide thump Essendon in Round 1 and not even Goddard can lift the Bummers to any meaningful heights. Nowhere to hide for the Verukas. Roll on 2013.
-
The Blues and Tigers will clash at the MCG on March 28 with ground staff having just 48 hours to prepare the ground for football if Victoria finishes on top of the Sheffield Shield table and hosts the final of the domestic competition.
The final is scheduled to finish two days before the Carlton-Richmond fixture.

An adelaide match to start the season what a drab way to start the season
-
Essendumb fans are wrapt they get to start the season and have seen it as a coup over Richmond and Carlton :D
-
a coup playing in front of 35 thousand granny bogans at west lakes? LMFAO
then they have to wait 14 days to play another game and miss the big opening weekend in Victoria
Essenwho? :lol

This has worked out well for me.. I will be there.. :gotigers
Should also go into this game very confident, new players, more depth and not having the opener!!
-
how does not having the opener improve our chances?
-
We didnt have it this year either.
Didnt seem to make a difference.
Who gives a poo

Haha my thoughts exactly Damo :cheers
-
I just dont want to play Carlton in round 1 period. Stuffing sick of it. They have such a mental edge over us, we poo ourselves every time. had a gut-full of starting the season with a loss. Would prefer to play stuffing Brisbane or something.
Play Carlton in round 7 or so and beat the pricks. Then we can play them in the opener next year when we have gotten over our hoodoo.
-
From Patrick Keane of the AFL:
The top 4 from 2012 (Syd, Haw, Coll, Crows) will all only play bottom 4 (GWS, GC, Melb, WB) once in 2013, except 2x Swans/GWS meetings.
The 10 non-finalists from 2012 will all be scheduled to have a maximum of two return meetings with top eight sides from 2012.
Where possible, the eight finalists from 2012 will all be programmed to have a max. of two return meetings with bottom-10 sides from 2012.
Four Thursday games in 2013 with Rd 1, 2xAnzac Day (Coll/Ess and StK/Syd in NZ) and a Rd 14 night game in Perth.
Two Monday night games in 2013 with Rd7 in Melb and Rd 10 in Perth on the holiday Monday in WA.
AFL now has broad parameters of 2013 fixture done; has begun detailed consultation with broadcasters, clubs, venues, other key stakeholders.
Fixture to be finished by end of October.
-
So according to that we will have return games against top 8 sides twice.
I hope Nought is one of them.
-
We play the Eagles away at Subi in round 10 on a Monday night. It's a public holiday in Perth that day.

-
We will play collingwood essendon and carlton twice, which leaves two games left
Hopefully GWS and Gold Coast twice or Melbourne Port or Buldogs
-
We shouldn't be playing the other big 3 twice.
Two of them yes, but not all three.
Stuff revenue if we can't beat them yet.
-
With the WC game in Perth on a Monday I hope our bye is round 11. FFS Monday night then fly back across the country to play on a 5.5 day break max.
-
I just dont want to play Carlton in round 1 period. Stuffing sick of it. They have such a mental edge over us, we poo ourselves every time. had a gut-full of starting the season with a loss. Would prefer to play stuffing Brisbane or something.
Play Carlton in round 7 or so and beat the pricks. Then we can play them in the opener next year when we have gotten over our hoodoo.
That is what I was talking about regarding not having the opener!!!

Bring them on no doubt, I agree, but we build ourselves up for the opener year after year...to no avail. I just think having a couple of games the week before may turn the eye on those games more and take some pressure off us, who knows. This is our best shot to date though for mine.. :pray

I suppose what it does guarantee is that we will have a bye in round 11
The AFL web-site said each club will have a bye between rounds 11-13

It's not intended as a cop out smoke, but if that's how you read it, so be it. Further to your comments though, until we beat GC and win the winable games, I agree with you, but thats no excuse either is it!!

heaven forbid we learn to win pressure games.
thank god finals don't have a heap of pressure involved

Don't take it personally WAT, I was referring to the club 'copping out'. ;D Which I think they would be doing by trying to hide from their demons and taking the heat out of any particular game of football. The Collingwoods, Sydneys, Geelongs etc don't fear any side, any time, any where and we have to get into that space if we are to hold any hope of being genuine contenders. And the ONLY way we are going to do that is to face it head on, prove the fear is a myth of days gone by.

Didn't know there was 2 teams in Collingwood and 2 teams in Geelong.
-
I thought WAT was leaving.
-
I don't care who we play and when.
I would rather make finals on the back of a harder draw it has more credibility if you make it.
We were 5-5 after 10 games this year. How hard was our draw. Yet despite some narrow losses in that time that hurt there was a lot to admire.
At least on the back of a hard draw if you make it and lose in the first week you know where you stand and what you need to do. Sure we lost to GC and Carlton and Nought in unloseable games but we hopefully learn from our mistakes and prepare diligently to ensure success next time.
Would you rather be Nought 16 points playing the two new frnachises twice. Two times against the Dogs including 1 loss a loss to Port after being 5 goals plus up with ten minutes to go and a thumping 115 point loss to the pee and poos in Tassie. To paint over the cracks they beat a few sides on their way down in the run home with 8 out of 11 ganes at Etihad and to show how worthy they were they went to Perth and lost by 16 goals which I so proudly predicted at the time pre game and close to what the scores would be too. ;D
Skataboner Spirit on the back of that or a side on the way up who will eventually learn how to cope with the pressure of a big game how to deal with the fact they are favourites and how to bury sides they should bury and beat sides consistently above them and below on the ladder.
Bring on the Cheats in Round 1. :thumbsup
-
Didn't know there was 2 teams in Collingwood and 2 teams in Geelong.
Yep, AFL and VFL.
:P
-
Sounds like the biggest losers out of the fixture could be kangaroos.
They had such an easy draw this year yet still only made the top 8 because of other teams bad luck with injuries and us losing to many close games.
-
for me id like us to play collingwood, sydney, hawthorn, essendon, and wce twice. geelong at the g. port at aami. adelaide at the g. gws in syd. gcs at etihad. freo at etihad and brisbane at the gabba.
we go to
perth 1
adelaide 1
brisbane 1
syd 2
play geelong for once in melb.
get big games against coll ess haw twice.
we challenge ourselves mainly against the better sides. none of this easy draw crap. if we get there we will have earnt it. if we dont we will have a more realistic idea of where we are at.
-
I've heard whispers that we are playing all of the other Big 4 clubs twice next year.
So that means Collingwood will be one of the two top 8 sides from this year that we'll be playing twice next year (if the AFL keeps its word). The other according to 5AA is Adelaide.
Also Geelong will be trying to squeezing 7 home games at Kardinia Park into the second half of next season upon completion of the redevelopment down there. For the first one they want to make a big deal of it and have an 'opening night' against a big drawing Victorian club. Apparently one of Richmond and Carlton have been suggested.
-
Presumably we'll be playing the Suns only once again up in Cairns :P.
So having a guess at putting the pieces together so far:
1. Carlton (away)
3. Collingwood? (home?)
?. Adelaide ...... playing them twice so I'm presuming the first is early on in the season like the others.
8. Essendon (dreamtime - home)
10. West Coast (away)
11. Bye? ..... break after travelling to Perth?
12? Geelong (away at KP) .... bloody hope not again :banghead
?. Gold Coast ('home' in Cairns)
?. Carlton (home)
?. Collingwood (away?)
?. Adelaide
?. Essendon (away)
Remaining 11 games split over the remaining 10 opposition clubs. So we'll only play one other bottom 8 side from this year twice aside from Essendon and Carlton.
I'll take another stab and say the AFL will make us travel to each state only once with the possible exception Qld. So that'll mean home games only against Freo and Port; a H/A split between GWS and Sydney; and our usual away game at the 'Gabba against Brisbane.
Add one game also against the remaining Vic-based top 8 sides Hawthorn and North.
So that'd leave either St Kilda or Melbourne as the other team we play twice. If we are switched on and genuine finals contenders then either should be two winnable games and 8 pts.
That wouldn't be the worst draw but not one of the easiest either as Adelaide, Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon who we rumouredly are playing twice will all be aiming to play finals as well. Claw you may get your wish and if we make the finals next year we'll have earned it.
-
That's rubbish that we're playing Adelaide twice.
They haven't come to the G since 2010 to play us. Should be one game at the g only for 2013 and 2014.
Afl shafts us again.
-
We had better be playing at least GWS twice. I hope MT, your predictions are like Jackstars as we deserve a decent draw for once!! :banghead :banghead
-
We really need Jackstarr to come in and tell us we're going to have a terrible draw. FACT.
and then preferably consolidate this by saying 'think this needs a bump'
:pray

So we think that we will play Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Adelaide twice. I'm thinking Melbourne will be the other. We always seem to get them twice. Trying to build a rivalry between 2 up and coming clubs but one team stayed poo. :whistle

True story. Really nervous about it. With Tex likely to be sitting on the sidelines suspended for being a dumbarse again, White will be the go-to guy. Could be one of those days where a spud plays the game of his life against us. :banghead
Hoping that Rutten and Thompson start to slow down a bit and Vickery can really improve us as shown in the 2011 game against them, no one could stop him. I think we can at least split those 2 games with them and we go pretty well at AAMI.

White won't even get a game. Jenkins & McKernan man.

Blues, Tigers, Bombers set to play twice
Jake Niall
The Age
October 19, 2012
CARLTON, Richmond and Essendon are all set to play one another twice, on the Victorian blockbuster circuit next year, but the Tigers and Collingwood have been deprived of their request for two games in 2013.
Collingwood also will play Carlton and Anzac Day opponent Essendon twice - a routine that has been not been broken since 1991.
The Magpies are also set to play another Victorian powerhouse, Hawthorn, twice, but are understood to play 2011 grand final opponent Geelong only once in next year's fixture.
The AFL's guidelines for matching teams up on the basis of ladder position makes it easier for the Bombers, Blues and Tigers to play each other twice next year.
Advertisement
All three missed the final eight; under the AFL's preferred format, teams in the top eight play three matches against this year's finalists and those outside the eight (bottom 10) play two against the eight.
That Essendon, Carlton and Richmond missed the eight means they can play one another twice and leave one more ''double up'' against a bottom-10 club. On the same basis, Collingwood's perennial two games against Carlton and Essendon mean the Pies cannot play Richmond twice next year - because they can only play two teams from outside the top eight twice.
Geelong is set to play Hawthorn twice in what has become one of the game's most keenly anticipated clashes, with the first meeting on Easter Monday. However, the Cats will not get a second meeting with the Pies.
Geelong will play under the newly installed lights at Simonds Stadium on at least three occasions, with the historic first night game scheduled against the Gold Coast, probably on June 1.
The Tigers are expected to play Collingwood in round four, on the weekend before Anzac Day; Essendon meets St Kilda in round four, before the Saints play their historic Anzac Day match against the Swans in Wellington, New Zealand.
The AFL has scheduled North Melbourne to play Collingwood on Easter Sunday at Etihad Stadium in round one.
Essendon and Adelaide have the season-opener at AAMI Stadium, Carlton and Richmond play their now customary round-one Thursday night game on March 28, while the round closes out again with Geelong against Hawthorn on Easter Monday. The Perth and Sydney teams play one another in the opening round. The Western Bulldogs play the Brisbane Lions at Etihad on Saturday, Melbourne plays Port Adelaide at the MCG on Easter Sunday and St Kilda plays the Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.
The AFL has decreed that none of the top four will play the bottom four - the two expansion teams, plus Melbourne and the Bulldogs - twice in 2013, with the exception of Sydney, but the league will seek to ensure that the Swans' draw is offset by that apparent advantage.

I would like to see us take on gold coast in the first 10 rds this year. We've always taken them on during our mid season lul, I'm not intrested in making excuses for them but maybe we should just take em on early and belt them into oblivion.
Also intresting point about not playing pies cos of that finals rule regarding fixturing.
I wouldve liked to play brisbane and sydney twice, I enjoy going to those games at the G, its good to see the oldies of the fitzroy and sth melb take their kids and grandkids out like once before.
I also enjoy playing melbourne twice, something about beating them makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over ;D
-
We have never played GWS or GC twice, and we have 2 relatively strong teams from the bottom 10 to play twice so you would hope we get one of them.
-
Lol so Blues, Pies and Bummers get to play each other twice but we only play Blues and Bummers twice.
Absolute bull dust.
Whatever we request the afl to do they do the opposite.

We have never played GWS or GC twice, and we have 2 relatively strong teams from the bottom 10 to play twice so you would hope we get one of them.
I think it's Melbourne that we play twice.
-
Guessimate No.2 at putting the pieces together so far:
1. Carlton (away)
2. St Kilda (home?) ...... unconfirmed
4. Collingwood (home?)
?. Adelaide ...... 5AA said we're playing them twice so I'm presuming the first is early on in the season.
9. Essendon (dreamtime - home)
10. West Coast (away)
11. Bye? ..... break after travelling to Perth?
12? Geelong (away at KP) .... unconfirmed but 3AW mentioned us as a possibility as well. Bloody hope not :banghead
?. Gold Coast ('home' in Cairns)
?. Carlton (home)
?. Adelaide
23. Essendon (away) ........ will they again have 25 soft tissue injuries by then thanks to the 'weapon' :whistle
So the remaining 11 games will be split over the remaining 9 opposition clubs.
I'll stick with guessing that the AFL will make us travel to each state only once with the possible exception Qld. So that'll mean home games only against Freo and Port; a H/A split between GWS and Sydney; and our usual away game at the 'Gabba against Brisbane.
Of the top 8 sides, 5AA said we're playing Adelaide twice and it's been confirmed we're playing Collingwood only once. So who is the other top 8 side we're playing twice? If it's Victorian then it'll be either Hawthorn or North. Hopefully the AFL aren't that stupid to make us play away down in Tassie if it is one of them.
We'll only play one other bottom 8 side from this year twice aside from Essendon and Carlton. If it's Victorian then it's either St Kilda or Melbourne.
Who we play in round 3 will be interesting. If it's a bottom 4 side then it'll be an easier start than this year; if it's a top side then we'll have a repeat of this year's tough start :P.
-
I think we will get a 2nd game against 1 of Dogs, Dees or Giants. Should get at least one bottom 4 side twice.

Since it's the last year that we're selling a home game, with Melbourne doing it as well, and we're both tenants of the MCG, I think we'll be playing Melbourne twice so that we can have our replacement "home" game against them, like we normally do.
-
A bottom 4 side MT would only make the draw slightly easier in the first 5 next yr given we had Melbourne in rd 3. At least we would play 3 sides from outside the 8 and the two losing Prelim finalists as opposed to 4 of the top 5 and sandwiched in rd 3 by Melbourne.
If we are good enough we should look t being 3-2 after 5 with a draw like that next yr. Would give us something genuine to build on. I'd be thrilled with 4-1. :thumbsup :gotigers

According to one club figure, the difference between a Friday night fixture and a Sunday twilight match for Collingwood could be $500,000. For North Melbourne, it could be $200,000.

Interesting to find out if we will get more Friday night games next year if the AFL backs us to rise up the ladder and jumps on the Tiggy bandwagon. Sure would add to the bottom line if we do.

Is that in gate takings alone or a combination of all income?
I'd imagine we would get some kind of bonus from sponsors for playing finals and fri nighters given the increased xposure?
-
They'll give us more Friday night games when we make the 8 and can beat Cold Ghost.
-
We won't be playing Geelong in the first four rounds and the rumour going around about us possibly being first to play them in the opening game at their newly redeveloped Kardinia Park is false as well. They'll be playing Ablett's Suns instead.

We dont play geelong in the first 4 rounds.
GEELONG faces a taxing start to the 2013 premiership season, with the Cats scheduled to start their campaign with three six-day breaks.
Chris Scott's men play Hawthorn (MCG) on a Monday in round one, North Melbourne (Etihad Stadium) on a Sunday in round two, Carlton (Etihad Stadium) on a Saturday in round three, then travel to Sydney for a Friday night clash with the Swans at the SCG in round four.
The Cats will play their first match at their redeveloped home ground against the Gary Ablett-led Gold Coast Suns on a Saturday night in round 10 (June 1).

Bit late
-
Given that there will never be an equal draw unless there is a conference system - may as well expect the Tigers to improve or win against the top sides even more and then we should be thrashing the bottom sides - it all depends on our recruitment, depth and development/improvement in our list - and given the improvement year on year - think we will be in for a good year in 2013 and beyond!

THE AFL's prized Friday night time slot is moving closer to being the exclusive domain of the big-drawing premiership contenders.
It is believed the league fixture, to be released next week, will freeze out struggling Victorian clubs hoping for a slice of prime-time action.
The Herald Sun understands Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs will not have a single Friday night outing next season. In the past it has been an unwritten rule that every Victorian club is awarded at least one Friday night game.
But the AFL has made it clear the position must be earned with on-field performances.
Collingwood, by contrast, is set to play at least seven games in broadcaster Channel 7's key ratings slot.
The Herald Sun understands there will also be a subtle shift in the strength of Sunday afternoon matches in Melbourne next year.
Collingwood, which in recent years has not featured that prominently on Sundays, is believed to be headed for as many as five games in that time slot next year as the league looks to beef it up and Seven's replay leading into its Sunday night news.
The AFL will release its 2013 fixture on Wednesday.

Wow 5 Sunday games. Port probably have 14 Sunday twilight games.
And we better get a few bloody friday night games. How many we have this year? 1 or 2? Sick of watching the same teams every friday night. Sick of Bruce and his crew speaking poo instead of calling the game.
-
Agree Coach
Only game that comes to mind was St kilda game
Yep always pies, hawks, geelong, carltank bombres etc

We had 2
St Kilda and the Bombers late in the season (rd 22)
Would think we will get at 2-4 Friday night games in 2013
-
these clowns running the league are all over the shop like a mad womans crap.
On one hand they have equalisation measures like the draft and salary cap, while giving handouts to struggling clubs, but then decide that said struggling clubs wont get the prime money raising games unless they earn them. considering it seems that income is related to success, this is counterintuitive and helps the rich stay richer.
arse clowns.

Make the 4-8 and we'll be on every Friday night in 2014. :clapping

Will be interesting to see how many interstate trips we end up with in 2013 outside our "home" game in Cairns
I'm expecting (dreading ;D) at least 4 away games maybe 5

WGAF. Here's a suggestion, save your money and watch a game or two on TV like the normal stuff.

Carlton will only have to play one of this year's finalists twice next year (that being Collingwood). So a soft fixture for the Blues :chuck.
Hawthorn has to play other 7 finalists in the first 7 rounds. So that means we won't be playing them in the first 7 weeks.

Looks like the AFL are going to screw us again.

No mention of whose home game but the Saints play interstate in round 1 so Jack may be right about us not playing a home game until round 3.
So far we know:
1. Carlton (away)
2. St Kilda (possibly away)
3. Bulldogs ('home' at Etihad)
4. Collingwood (home)
5.
6.
7.
8.
9. Essendon (home)
10. West Coast (away)
11. Bye
12.
........
22.
23. Essendon (away)
We also know we'll be playing Carlton twice and Gold Coast up in Cairns again.

Lol dream run until they hit us in round 2. Get it done Tiges :clapping :gotigers

Been told the Cairns "home" game 2013 will be around the same time as it was this year = mid July

Expected that, here's hoping for a win this time. And for the week after.
I've always thought that game has a Lingering effect from the conditions and travel
Does anyone think well be lucky enough to play hawks, blues or eagles the week after that one?
-
Another tough start. FFS
-
If we can finally get a win over Carlton we should be 3 - 0 going into collingwood game.

Agreed. Hopefully Saints away at the MCG. How many times have we played our home game at Etihad against those pricks. FFS enoughs enough.

Saints are no easy beats. They've lost Goddard so they'll be a better team.

Dissapointed though, I don't expect a dream fixture but I feel the last couple of seasons... Ahh nevermind

Given our record, I don't want to play GC twice. Happy to play Melbourne and Dogs twice though.
