Should be but wont be

Reckon we get at least 1 but most probalby 2 at Etihad and 9 home games at the MCG

Reckon we will again get 5 interstate games

4 away games at the MCG and 2 away games at Etihad

At least 3-4 Friday night games

 ;D

We should be getting as much Friday night games as the skunks. Look at how well we drew this year. (Overall 2nd highest in the league and no finals since 01) Also, didn't Collingwood get like 18 games at the MCG not too long ago?

Understand what you are saying

But the 2 main time slots for FTA TV are Friday and Saturday - Ch7 like us on Saturday nights our ratings are sensational

Think we will get more Saturday night games over Friday

Also, the Club will want "family friendly" games as well.

Have to get the balance right

Imagine they make us play as the away team against GC in Cairns. I wouldn't rule that out..

I think the AFL has a deal with the QLD Gov't to play 11 games at Metricon so not sure that can happen.

Later this month

After Trade time I would guess

Doubt there will be any games in Cairns in 2014. Last i heard the Bulldogs were looking into it bur noe deal had been signed

If the AFL want one there, they should send Melbourne there seeing as they just gave them $2m for nothing.  :rollin
