I for one always hang out for the season fixture.
Obviously the sooner I know the Eagles home games the earlier I can slot in the theme days and start the planning.
But even outside of that the SANFL fixture helps me put some context of events into the new year ahead.
Oh, good. 14 out of 15 opening games played away. That makes it OK then.
From the list you gave in the other thread (which is correct), it also says Port had games at Alberton in 2002 and 2004...so 3 home games out of the last 14 seasons played. This table below will show who gets more home games to start with than not:
SANFL opening matches 2000-2013
(note, 2012 only counts the first week as opening matches)
Team, Home, Away, Other, Bye
Central 6 5 0 3
Eagles 3 7 1 3
Glenelg 5 6 0 3
North 6 4 0 4
Norwood 10 2 1 1
Port 3 9 1 1
South 11 2 0 1
Sturt 2 10 0 2
West 5 6 1 2
*Other is the double header played in Round 1 2000 at Football Park
*Home matches include South home vs Eagles at Encounter Bay, 2007; Port vs Norwood at Football Park, 2011; Eagles vs Port at Thebarton, 2012
