Re: AFL 2024 fixture news
How hard is it to simply do an alternating fixture?
First year in Geelong, second year at marvel etc etc.
If you play twice in a year then sure one each, it?s fair to say that nonsense like gather round etc means bugger all.Comment

Re: AFL 2024 fixture news
From Fox AFL
WESTERN BULLDOGS
Games played against...
Top eight: 11
Top four: 5
Bottom 10: 12
Bottom four: 5
Who they play twice: Fremantle, Geelong, GWS Giants, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Sydney Swans
Bye weeks: Opening Round, Round 15
Average percentage of double-up opponents: 103.85% (ninth-hardest)
Analysis: They get their fair share of primetime footy, with three Friday and two Thursday games scheduled across the first 15 rounds. Dogs fans, though, might be a little disappointed their first home game for the season is in Ballarat against the Suns in Round 2. Looks like it’s going to be a tough block in the middle of the season, with consecutive games against the Giants, Swans, Magpies and Lions between Rounds 10 and 13. It’s a block that could define their season. A tough run home with the Power, Blues, Cats, Swans, Demons and Crows between Rounds 17 and 22. But if they’re good enough to be a flag contender this year, they’ll be taking a few scalps.

How many prime time games does everyone think we would've had if Bailey Smith was no longer at the club?Comment

Re: AFL 2024 fixture news
Pretty good overall. Some good prime time slots and some early daytime Sunday games to start us off. Would be good if we play some more MCG games but it is what it is. Need to make Marvel and Mars a fortress. Happy we don?t need to go down to Tassie to play the Hawks and great we have the Suns and Lions at home.Last edited by Eastdog; 17-11-2023, 11:17 AM."Footscray people are incredible people; so humble.

Re: AFL 2024 fixture news
For me personally it's pretty good. More Sunday and afternoon games means I can actually go. Looking forward to spending time with the fam on our home deck.
For the club it's ordinary. Ballarat for our first home game is awful, just downright awful. I certainly hope we didn't lobby for that. Round 3 (4) is our first realy home game and that is a disgrace. More arvo games is not good for the club. Viewers don't watch as much so our brand doesn't get the eyes they would want. Good Friday is as good as gone. Collingwood at Marvel away. Why? Geelong in Geelong again, goody.
Most of these problems we brought on ourselves with our pathetic 2023. Looking at the draw though you'd think we finished on the bottom last year.Comment

Re: AFL 2024 fixture news
Just got back from six weeks in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Left on 2 October. Silly me, could have booked it for a month earlier!
From a commercial perspective, we are yet again having more home matches against non-Vic teams (6 out of 8) than against Vic teams (5 out of 9). Should help with our winning them, but it leads to lower attendances and match day financial returns than what our Vic rivals enjoy.Comment
