Re: 2020 Fixture
Freo are in the Cairns hub so I reckon we'll play them up at Cazaly

Re: 2020 Fixture
TBH I see West Coast as the team whose list and style match up best against us so I'm not confident anywhere we play them.

Would be great to play at Metricon. We’ll have a had a pretty good run on the travel if we don’t need to - all things considering of course.
The dam wall has busted!

Re: 2020 Fixture
Bravo to anyone with the plums to chalk up anything other than the bye as non-losses.
Tomorrow's game could credibly be the final time we get to feel good about footy this season.
Nothing like the self-satisfied swagger of knocking over the last-placed team.

Same, Kennedy and darling can destroy us in one quarter, and if we bomb into our fwd 50, like we tend to do, McGovern and Barass will be laughing. This is the team I do not want to play.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Re: 2020 Fixture
We could be waiting on the result of the Monday game to see if we make finals.

Flashbacks to 2005.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

7 day breaks and a week (or 6 months) off after round 18 - I don't think we have too much to complain about.

Re: 2020 Fixture
The AFL is set to grant the Western Bulldogs a rare travel request and send them to Cairns a day early for their season-defining battle against Fremantle in Round 18.
The Bulldogs need to knock over Hawthorn (Adelaide Oval) and Fremantle (Cazaly’s Stadium) to scrape into an elimination final and have managed to avoid a same-day travel itinerary for both matches.
They will share a chartered flight to Adelaide with Essendon on Saturday morning before Sunday’s clash against the Hawks.
But it was Round 18 that loomed as problematic for coach Luke Beveridge because the Dogs are travelling to Cairns by themselves.
The Dockers have been based in Cairns since last Thursday and upset Melbourne at Cazaly’s Stadium on Monday night.
The Demons were furious at being forced to travel to Cairns on game day in Round 15, when they touched down just hours before the first bounce against Sydney.
The Swans had spent several days at the Cairns hub and had trained at the windy ground.
“We would’ve loved to have been up here before the day of the game to get a feel for the conditions,” Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin said on Sunday.
“It is different. It’s windy every day – so we need to plan for that and be ready for that.”
The Bulldogs wouldn’t confirm their itinerary when contacted on Wednesday.
But it’s believed that league officials have already given them the green light to fly north from Gold Coast next Saturday.
The Dogs are 4-0 at Cazaly’s Stadium – all against Gold Coast – and boast an average winning margin of 38 points at that ground.
The conditions shouldn’t be too foreign for the Bulldogs given 14 players from the club’s last game in the regional town remain on the list.

Re: 2020 Fixture
I am happy we are playing Freo in Cairns.
We are unbeaten at that ground.
Jack Macrae goes pretty well up there as well.
