Go and get stuffed AFL. I wish I could swear on here *&%(($*&^@#(&$%)P
Looks like fox footy is the big winner here. I'm happy with who we are playing twice, but Sundays and Twilights do nothing for me at all.

Yeah sunday games can pee right off!
The only bonus in playing the last 5 games on a sunday is one 14 and the rest 7 day breaks.
StKilda have a Friday Night game and we dont.......WTF AFL!!
on the positive 5 of our last 6 at Etihad, so if we are in the mix at the business end this could help.
AAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDD another punch in the guts for our brand exposure.
Screw you AFL.
Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell
Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath
And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!
Playing in Tasmania again? That's unusual to get that game 2 years in a row. I can feel another footy trip coming on. Although 3.20pm on a Sunday is a strange time, it'll be dark by 3/4 time. Why not have it at 1.10pm and possibly avoid having to use the lights?
Apart from that, again we have too many late Sunday home games.
What do you mean, we are playing in Cairns.
But seriously, low crowds and low tv ratings will hurt us again with this fixture. It's all well and good to give us cash and say that's equalisation, but it's not. It's called throwing good money after bad. Give us exposure to increase our membership base, sell more merchandise, get more gate receipts and then you don't have to prop us up. It's just such an elitist attitude towards us... "We're not going to do anything to help you fix the structural issues, but here's some cash. Now say thank you".

Play a certain brand of footy, and the crowds will follow. Have to earn it Dogs.

That is exactly what grates the most, so how the hell do you get past it? On the AFL's own website they state that our wish list was the following:
and then what do we get? The "*!*!*!*! off, You're Playing at 4.40pm Every Sunday" fixture special! ARGH!WESTERN BULLDOGS
The Bulldogs played nine twilight games in 2013, and for obvious reasons, the club would prefer to have a few more prime time slots. The Dogs were absent from the Friday night fixture last season, and played just four night games for the year. The club is keen to host some more big games against the powerhouse Victorian clubs in 2014 to pull in big crowds, after playing Geelong, Hawthorn, Essendon and Carlton just once last year. Like all clubs, the Bulldogs don't want many six-day breaks.

Cairns and a horrible draw. I know I'm on my own, but I'd sell 6 or 7 games to Tassie, kick Hawks and North out. Demand 12 or more games in Melbourne and the Good Friday game and better draws. And a heap of cash. This does not reflect an administration actively trying to change the structural issues we face, quite the opposite you could argue.

Outside of Libba a few years back and Browny at KFC, all we put out is positive AFL stories. Saints give rape, rape, lighting people on fire etc, etc. they are still bottoming out and they get a Friday night game. Obviously being good citizens doesn't count for anything.
