2015 Fixture - What do we want for the Bulldogs

[Twodogs]

Having said all of that stuff about "AFL standard" grounds, are Darwin, Cairns and Alice Springs' grounds considered "AFL standard" by the same criteria?

With the WO upgraded, we could accommodate a decent crowd..

The ground in Darwin is a fair bit like Whitten Oval in its size and layout. It's got a long grassy slope around one side and a members area along the other wing. The entrances are in different places though.

You're right Easty. Last seasons Friday night games were a disaster a lot of times. Friday night should be shared around a bit.

I think will get it back and if we can improve that will become more likely but agree it doesn't make sense for teams like St. Kilda and Carlton getting it which annoys me.

We just got to win some games, get the bandwagon rolling.

Think of our FF line: Stringer, Boyd, Dahlhaus. We have the potential to wow the public

Everyone has to agree we got a pretty easy draw. Last year everyone whinges about Sundays, we have since gone from 15 down to 8 or 9 potentially with last round and now everyone is finding more to whine about. We do have 5 Saturday night games which is a great result.

I don't want our club to be seen as perennial sooks, and this draw definitely is an improvement. If we can somehow snag the Good Friday game in 2016 with a similar draw to this year I would be chuffed.

I live fairly close to the city and I even think Sunday twilight is bad. Imagine for those that live far away. It must be bad but hopefully now a lot of those Dogs supporters will come to the games.

Yeah, crap time to hold a match. Has cost us dearly over the past x number of years.

You are not wrong it is a totally crap time for a game to be played and we have had the majority over the last few years.
We should be exempt for ever from Sunday arvo's, look at the sqealing Collingwood did when they copped just one game in the time slot.

I wonder how the VFL fixture will work now. Last year we got a few chances to watch Footscray games before the seniors played.
I hope our VFL fixture helps us get to a lot of Footscray games rather than having them playing at roughly the same time.

That was both disgusting and beautiful.

Yes good point GVG. Not sure when the VFL draw comes out.

Thank's jeemak your post made me chuckle, i just re-read my original post and I have to admit I am not the best with spelling or grammar and at the best of times.
I will use a poor education, spending the day working on BAS, next years itineraries and spending the week with 40 Italians as an excuse.

If crowds are down and the weather is ok at 4:40pm on Sunday imagine if its raining, our team aren't doing well and we play Sunday 4:40pm - it's bad for everyone then. So happy the AFL have listened a bit and given us lots of Saturday games which I much prefer over Sunday although eariler Sunday games are ok.

How many home games will our Footscray VFL side play at WO next year. I believe we are playing a bit more there.
