2006 Fixture

[Razorblade]

Well atleast if we have another typical great start to the season, it will be against really good teams and interstate!

[mightytiges]

Well all will revealed next week folks..............

The 2006 draw is due out next Tuesday 4/10/05.

Funny how it's being released during trade week - is this to take the focus off the crap draws some teams are going to get

Sounds like we'll be one of them  .

League gives Richmond the travel bug
By Michael Gleeson
The Age
September 29, 2005

RICHMOND will travel interstate six times next season, including back-to-back trips with only a six-day break.

The Tigers are not thrilled with the new draw, which schedules them to play West Coast in Perth in round three before a six-day break and a trip to play Brisbane at the Gabba. They play twice in Perth, once in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and against Hawthorn in Tasmania.

"It's not ideal — from the footy side of things, it could certainly be better," said Richmond director of football Greg Miller.

"Look, we understand that every club has got a wish-list and some years it is fulfilled and other years it isn't. You can't have it all all of the time so we are not complaining about it."

Collingwood will travel interstate four times next season, playing in Adelaide twice, Sydney and against West Coast in Perth, but do not fly to Brisbane.

As reported in The Sunday Age, round one will include an extraordinary six night games, including one on Sunday and one on Monday night at Telstra Dome during the grand prix long weekend. The game of the round will be at Subiaco Oval on March 30 between West Coast and St Kilda.

Financially it doesn't sound too good either unless I'm missing something obvious. I only get a 11 game home membership so it won't affect me but won't the whole season ticket fall from 17 to 16 games meaning less $$$ for the RFC?

On the positive we have at least 3 home games against interstate sides - Eagles, Lions and either Port or the Crows.

The numbers 5 and/or 12 come to mind off the top of my head Razor .

I don't think Julz was thinking of any of us here. Just a hunch

They play twice in Perth, once in Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane and against Hawthorn in Tasmania.

They (the AFL) also wanted us to play on the moon but they refused to subsidise the travel costs


Doesn't look like I'll be seeing 22 games live next season

Shame as you could kick a goal from full back

The Hawthorn game in Launceston is on Sunday, 18th June in Round 12. So we miss out on playing the Hawks twice.
