[spell_check]

Two home games against a club:

Central: Eagles, South
Eagles: South, Glenelg
Glenelg: West, Port
North: West, Central
Norwood: North, Central
Port: Norwood, Sturt
South: Norwood, Port
Sturt: None, as 3 matches are played at Adelaide. Sturt don't play Eagles at Unley at all.

West: Eagles, North

Dude, if North play 2 home games against West and West plays 2 home games against North that would be 4 games!
(North only play once at Richmond)

Bye Rounds:

Central: 3, 16, 23
Eagles: 3, 9, 15
Glenelg: 1, 8, 20
North: 3, 7, 17
Norwood: 2, 11, 19
Port: 10, 16, 22
South: 6, 13, 21
Sturt: 5, 14, 18
West: 4, 12, 16

Interesting some of those byes. Port does not have a bye until Round 10 - Eagles and North will already have two at this stage.
Eagles will already have had all three byes before Port and Central have their 2nd.

Hehe, silly me.

[Pseudo]

had a good look at sturt draw....im happy with it, tough last 5 games tho

It gladdens me to see you rate Glenelg at Glenelg as a tough game Jimmy.

Nevertheless you realise that Sturt has the longest current winning run at Glenelg Oval?

Did you all note that there is no provision for a week off for a state game to be played this year?

[Wedgie]

Yeah, we all knew a while back that WA were playing Vic in 2007 and that there would be no state game.

I thought as much as I was entering all the games into my mobile.

[TroyGFC]

Okay I am not overly happy about so many Sunday games but it just happens to be that it works out to be besides one that I am rostered on afternoons shift each day after and also on early day shift when play Friday night, plus added bonus of round one bye is same time as Rugby 7's and I can also go to Port / Norwood game on the Thursday night.
So I guess I will renew my full splurge membership for next season regardless off my principles of not going to Sunday games.
Hopefully season 2008 Glenelg will have lights and not play so many Sunday games.

Yeah Im not happy that North have chosen 4 Sunday games at Prospect.
Also not happy the Bays elect to play us on a Monday, bloody hell, a long weekend and they still manage to be stupid enough to choose a day before a work day.

My only gripe is the last round bye - I know the club hates this. Surely the last round of byes can be issued in reverse ladder order from the previous season as it is quite a disruption close to finals?

Surely the presumption needs to be that ANY club could be participating in the finals to ensure equality in the draw?

FWIW, Norwood have had the last round bye for the last 2 seasons

[smac]

Perhaps CP, but the fixture is supposedly balanced over time based on finishing positions and over the last 7 years the dogs have proven they are going to be at the pointy end come September. If that changes then so should the draw, but I reckon Sturt and West have well earnt the last 2 byes of next season, Norwood and Glenelg can take the next 2 back from that and the rest are probably less relevant, given that is a month out from finals.

Going purely on memory, the dogs have had the bye in the last or second last round 3-4 times since 2000 (including next year). That's just plain disruptive.

At least we got a bye before the ANZAC Game and no game for 10 days afterwards. Last year was a disgrace.

I wish my team was "disrupted" enough to win 2 or 3 flags.

[Wedgie]

Just reading the artile in the Advertiser got me thinking.
If a few Eagles fans from the Woodville half things were upset last year that the Eagles played a few "neutral" games at Thebarton how will they feel this year when actual home games have been moved there?
Torrens fans would be giggling away.
Had no money, were dead in the water, merge and now have their colours predominate, their symbol the Eagle and home games at Thebby. They've done bloody well, congrats to them!
Woodville supporters would be spewing.

A very good point - see the league finally stopped trying to screw Centrals at that time of the year. Maybe being runners-up made a difference?

And I get accused of trying to stir up NA supporters. Sheeesh

[Dutchy]

Shit stirring again Wedgie!

Initial look is good except why do they refuse to play Friday night games early in the year when the weather is good??? should be 1 every week for the first 6-7 weeks.

More games on Sundays is good also, they are actually being flexable with the programming, I can see crowds increasing with this draw, many involved in amatuer, regional footy can attend on Sundays

[Ecky]

All the sponsor's names for the ovals are annoying - you have to decode them all first before you can make any sense out of the draw...

Also, I think they may have gone a bit overboard with all the Sunday games - sure the Sunday crowds were good last year, but there was a bit of the novelty factor involved. I'm not convinced crowds will be up with regular games on Sundays.

[Booney]

I get to see it this year (as in the flag unvielling at the 1st home game.) as the underage play .
.

Get to see it this year,did you miss it the other time?
