Draw for 2007 - R1 vs Carlton

[bluey_21]

As long as we are switched on ....

PERCENTAGE 

    

[one-eyed]

All I want to know is how many interstate trips do we have in 2007 - I wanna look at flights dirt cheap if you book them early

Have heard though that we WONT be playing in Tassie next season 

You're correct WP. In the Herald-Sun today it didn't list us as one of the 4 clubs playing in Tassie - Geelong, West Coast, the Kangaroos and Port Adelaide.

We play 5 times interstate next year. The membership package is for 17-games.

We play 5 times interstate next year.

If we have back-to-back interstate trips again as rumoured then we are seriously being ripped off. There's no MCG redevelopment excuse next year  .

[mightytiges]

According to the Budget category in the membership package, it says we will have 8 home games at the 'G and not the 9 we asked for  . We achieve the second highest crowd figures and best friday night tv ratings and the AFL and MCC still treat us with contempt while the Hawks with the second lowest crowds receive 7 home games despite heading to Tassie. What a joke!

We also as WP pointed out play down in Geelong again  .

If that's true then that is a disgrace. Actually the fact that we again travel five times in 2007 after having 6 this year is a joke

Richmond supporters are good on the phones to radio stations when we lose how about some passion in attacking the AFL when the draw comes out. An unprecedented, vitriolic, passionate attack on the draw done en masse and in unison across 3AW and SEN is whats required. Call after call attacking the unfair draw is what we need. Unless they hear us they aint ever gonna give us anything.

I'm with you on this Ramps.  Let's attack the airwaves and let the AFL know that the sleeping giant is awake and not happy.

GO TIGES!!!

Im starting to see something else.

Come finals time your more than likely these days to play at least one final interstate. With us having alot of interstate games during the season proper it will only help us come the pointy end of the season as opposed to Collingwood, who get easy street and hardly see a blade of grass outside the G.

Especially during these 'development' years i think its quite handy for us to give the kids as much interstate experience as possible.

who knows, maybe we'll be the ones having the last laugh on this matter

That's true blx that we need to learn to just win when playing interstate just as the non-Vic clubs have. That still though doesn't stop the unfair advantage of them having 11 home games while we have only 8. We've just gone back to the original Dome deal of 3 home games there and 8 at the 'G   .

We might have missed out because we only asked for 9. I wonder what would have happened if we had just asked for 11. The AFL would laugh at us but they might have considered 9 as a compromise and we might have got the 9 home games we would have been happy with next year.

How would the Ferals be if we lost this one first up ....Scary thought indeed

The club would have to leave the phone off the hook again Monday morning lol

SEN mentioned on the news earlier tonight that the draw will finally be announced at Noon tomorrow.

According to the BF mainboard we play:

R1 v Carlton (MCG)
R3 v Collingwood (MCG)
R7 v Port Adelaide (AAMI)
R8 v Adelaide (AAMI)
R9 v Essendon (MCG)
R11 v Fremantle (SUBI)
R17 v Sydney (SCG)
R19 v Collingwood (MCG)

plus another game against Essendon and another away trip to Subiaco against the Eagles.

Like to make 1 trip a year - want to go see us fock the fockers, and may chuck in a cheapy to Sydney 

[mightytiges]

R7 v Port Adelaide (AAMI)

Why do we always get Port away every year . So much for evening up the draw over 5 year cycles  .

Also funny that the only interstate trip we don't get is the one we've won at over the last couple years - Brisbane at the 'Gabba  .

[julzqld]

No Gabba game???!!
