Home game against Collingwood Sunday and Carlton Saturday night is OK. Other than that our home games will struggle to draw decent crowds.

13 Foxtel games is a negative, 13 Saturday games is a positive, no Thursday or Friday night games is a big negative.

That is a *!*!*!*!en joke

I'll say it again. Equalisation is still nothing but a myth

I'll say it again. Equalisation is still nothing but a myth

Agree. True equalisation is a fair draw, fair share of TV timelsots, fair share of stadium deals, fair share of any blockbuster, timeslots, home games, etc.

Equalisation is not splitting up the money, its the ability to generate the money and membership and build the club up by being fair with above..

[LostDoggy]

The sad, but true, fact is that we likely receive a larger slice of the equalisation pot by not headlining the gate.

How the hell does Carlton get 7 Friday night games

How the hell does Carlton get 7 Friday night games

Yep half a game in front of us yet 6 friday nights to our 0. Also get 14 FTA games vs our 8. As do Pies and Bombers. Its a joke really. Equalisation is not just giving handouts. Its equalising the opportunity to market our brand and the fixture is still nowhere near this. Sad fact is that the longer we have to continue to rely on handouts from the big clubs the longer we are just existing in the competition for the sake of the heavyweights.

[Doc26]

It is not until round 14 that we have a home game against a team that will draw a crowd, and then not until round 17.

Our Home Games to Round 17:

Round 1 Eagles
Round 4 Crows
Round 6 Saints
Round 7 Dockers
Round 9 Giants
Round 12 Lions
Round 14 Blues
Round 15 Suns (@ Cazaly Stadium)
Round 17 Magpies

Definitely an improvement on last season but certainly further work to be done.
