    2015 Fixture - What do we want for the Bulldogs

    Someone or myself will most likely post up a new thread about the official 2015 AFL fixture when its released but was interested in what fellow woofers would like to get in terms of timeslots and difficulty in the opposition with this upcoming fixture.

    In some ways the fixture is more even these days with an 18 team competition, as you only play 5 teams twice. There's also an argument for playing good teams twice being a good test and preparation for finals footy.

    The main things teams look for are minimal 6 day breaks, interstate trips and poor timeslots
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    What i want is an improvement from last season which shouldn't be difficult since we were given the worst fixture of all time. You could of sworn Ross Oakley put that fixture together on our behalf. Up yours Oakley!

    I want a home game on a Friday night against a Melbourne based club. I would also like one on a Saturday night against a Melbourne based club, not like round one against the eagles. Would also like that game to be on free to air television since we didn't have one this year. This has to be a minimum requirement!

    I will be very interested to see what fixture we get this year with Gilligan in charge now.

    Game times that sponsors would want to see before signing up. We'd be commercially more viable if we're allowed to be commercially viable.

    Less than 50 percent of our games on Sunday twilight...
    2 Friday nights - yes Im greedy but we haven't had one for 2 years...
    Saturday afternoon or evenings
    That's what I want.

    We will get >50 percent of our games on a Sunday though

    We will get a minimum of 2 of our repeat 5 from 2014 bottom six.
    This means we should have 2 games against St Kilda and Brisbane. We will probably also get a return match against GWS given the player movements.

    It would be good to get a Friday nighter but can't see it happening.

    Hopefully a home game against Collingwood/Richmond on a Saturday Night on free to air could be our best hope.

    We'll get a home game in Cairns again I assume, that's only 5 minutes up the road isn't it?

    And make that game at Metricon during the school hols, so I can kill 2 birds with one stone.

    Melbourne is closer to Brisbane than Cairns is
