That's not bad, good for Melbourne not having to face Sydney. Overall I am happy with the saints fixture as I want to see the kids have a hard knock and earn their positions. Saints were going to be down anyway.

Saints draw looks better than you might think chhoks. Looks like they only meet one time each:

Essendon

Geelong

Hawks

Sydney

Freo

A lot of the other games are against teams fighting for 6th - 10th positions

2014 Premiership Season AFL Fixture Toyota

http://www.afl.com.au/fixture.workstation

Now 3 games on Anzac Day, kinda takes the gloss off the Collingwood/Essendon game doesn't it.

St Kilda has one of the games..

I thought St kilda was playing in NZ on Anzac day?

Yes they are playing in N.Z V Brisbane .

Collingwood should be happy with the draw as usual, 14 games at the MCG, 4 interstate trips. The poor bastards will have to travel 3 kms across town to Ethiad Stadium 4 times for away games tho.

Saints 6 interstate games and 1 in N.Z play the top 8 twice and just one game against GWS and Melbourne, that is going to test the metal of the new young kids. Probably good for them in the rebuilding period and they may just pinch 2 wins against GWS and Melb.

Quick glance at the Swans draw and it looks pretty good.

Freo once

Geelong once

Hawks twice

Melbourne zero times

Swans play Melbourne Round 6 in Melbourne

Thought it was supposed to be a more "difficult" draw for the Top 4 teams of this year? Guess the AFL has a different interpretation of "difficult"

AFL at Adelaide Oval... I think I might have to make a trip to see the parents in April...

That message hadn't filtered through, but I just use it as an excuse to get on a plane and watch some footy at the Adelaide Oval ;)

I see West Coast have also cut Brad Daziell. I thought he had a great year.

Brad Daziell is a poor footballer and he basically continued to get games

last year because of continuing injuries to Kerr, Shuey, Welligham and Selwood.

Plus too much faith was put in him by John Worsfold who had a real bad year

in the coach's box.

He's one of those footballers who is an elite runner but has poor skills and always

wants to make it someone else's problem when he's under pressure.

New coach Simpson has already got brownie points in my book for chopping him and Morton.

He'll probably get picked up as he's only 26 and I hope he does.

But glad he's gone from WCE as he's the ultimate list clogger IMO.

What is your prediction for West Coast next year Will27?

Mate

I'd be disappointed if we didn't make the 8.

We've been cruelled by injury for 2 years now.

I reckon we've got a good backline, real good forward line

and an ok midfield/following group. Nic Nat is a huge key for

us if he plays. It also allows Cox to go forward more.

Still not happy about giving up our number 6 pick for 11

in order to get Yeo. At least Yeo has some pace and run

but I don't believe in giving up a number 6 pick for a half-

back flanker.

Our fixtures for next year are pretty good. I'd expect us to win

our first 3 games and I reckon we could be 5/3 or 6/2 at the bye

in round 9.

Then again, last year I thought we'd be 8/2 after 10 roundsrolleyes.gif

If WCE are in the finals, what's the chance of them sending a reserve side to the Gold Coast

for round 23? Freo set the precedent.

Worked well for Freo this year

Sounds like the old time 'Claytons' commercial. "...and then he said 'Now we can all get some sleep!'

or it could be a post in the wrong forum...

Actually Ross Lyon set the precedent at St Kilda. 2009 Ross Lyon decimated the team in round 20 against Essendon dropping 14 senior players ahead of the finals. The Saints were undefeated for the season and went down in that game by 3 points because rewoildt missed a shot after the siren. The next week he played the same team against hawthorn in Tasmania and the saints thumped the hawks.

20 straight games was the record, held by Essendon and I was so pissed off. We could have gone 22 straight.

I remember reading somewhere that the AFL had introduced a rule to

try and prevent it happening. I'm not sure what the penalties are and

how you'd police it.

It's a good move, especially if you have to travel.

Yep

I just read that literally 10 minutes after reading this:

Looks like Chocco Williams to take over. Bad timing for all concerned I guess but at least it wasn't

mi-season.

A shitty draw, sending a team on the longest trip in footy one week out from the finals!

This just in... Jeremy Laidler to be picked up by the Swans as a delisted free agent... Paperworks been filed...

Sounds okay to me

Indeed... Caught be by surprise really... Caught it on twitter by the player himself having had it retweeted by the Swans... Couldn't find anything in the media... By the time I'd posted it here the AFL twitter feed had picked it up... Social Media: The new game of Chinese Whispers.

Sydney has a superb record at getting the best out of recruits like this...not always, but enough!

I have decided im going to be kind to Sam Reid for the first 10 matches of the season...if he plays up forward...
