2009 draw

[tigersalive]

since were only gonna have 10 home games in melbourne next year, does that make the membership prices any cheaper?

Doubt it.  There will just be an away game that is called a "home game" for Richmond members.

- 6 Interstate trips for North and a trip to Geelong

This was reported in today's HUN

Said North giving up homes games on the Gold Coast was going to cost them $1.2 million in guaranteed gate takings (HUN also said that the $1.2 mil was out a total of $1.9mil ) Refer page 3 of the Sports liftout

North have found out what happens when you upset the AFL. So you want out of the Gold Coast - well here's 6 interstate trips including one to the Gold Coast plus a trip down to Geelong for that favour  .

We can wave the cheque for $400k in poor old North's face while we are both up on the GC lol.

No but it's not untypical behaviour from League chiefs even back in the VFL days. They don't mind delivering payback on clubs who stick their nose up at the League. Wait until the club slips up and then whammo. North embarrassed the AFL with their about face on the Gold Coast. This is the AFL's response.

We are playing our home game on the Gold Coast against Adelaide according to today's Advertiser.

We also look like playing both SA clubs only once next year.

BF saying we are playing Essendon, Collingwood and Carlton twice.

Round 1:
Richmond V. Carlton, MCG, Thursday night
Hawthorn V. Geelong, MCG, Friday night
Collingwood V. Adelaide, MCG, Saturday
Port Adelaide V. Essendon, AAMI, Sunday

Round 3 (Easter):
Collingwood V. Geelong, MCG, Thursday night
Port Adelaide V. Melbourne, AAMI, Sunday (early start)

And to shut up the smug bluebaggers, they rumouredly are playing interstate 6 times like North is lol. 2 in Adelaide, 1 in Perth, 1 in Gold Coast and 1 in Brisbane.

I count 5. 

Hopefully they travel to Sydney too.

I'll bet Cwood aren't playing interstate 6 times!

[Chuck17]

I'll bet Cwood aren't playing interstate 6 times!

I think they are it is just that they are allowed to classify docklands and Geelong as interstate, just a little something that the AFL and Eddie worked out......
