    The bye situation is just another advantage/disadvantage point in the draw and the sceptic in me is very worried that the clubs with muscle will be able to coerce the AFL into giving them byes in more favourable rounds.

    Personally I think it should be a names in a pot, pull one out at a time system for maximum transparency. But Alas that is too fair and will never happen.

                I hope we play Hawthorn in Launceston - my husband barracks for the Hawks & it's a great excuse to visit lovely Tasmania again.

                    NEXT year's home and away season will again finish with a 'floating' final round to ensure clubs have enough rest before the finals.

                    The AFL will release the fixture on Friday, October 29.

                            I guess we'll know when we see how many interstate games Collingwood get & how many MCG games Collingwood get & how many Friday night games Collingwood get & how many 'stand alone' games Collingwood get.

                                    Have to stop moaning about the draw until we stop selling home games.
                                    Collingwood had 4 interstate trips as we did,not forgetting we sold two home games,let's
                                    Not worry and complain when it's our own doing!

                                            Sunday Feb 20

                                            Bulldogs, Geelong & North Melbourne to clash in the NAB Cup at Skilled Stadium.

                                            The 2011 NAB Cup will be an 18-team competition - with Greater Western Sydney included along with league debutants Gold Coast Suns - featuring six pools of three teams.

                                            The six pool winners and the next two best-performed sides will progress to the second round.

                                            Each pool will play back-to-back matches consisting of 20-minute halves in a new concept likened to cricket's Twenty20 format.

                                                Happy with that. Not far to travel and playing on a decent surface
                                                The curse is dead.

                                                    So if it's:

                                                    WB v NM
                                                    WB v Geel
                                                    NM v Geel

                                                    Geelong would win game 2 as we just played, and North would win game 3 as Geelong just played. Or at least have a major advantage.
                                                    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                                                        Very new and different way but looking forward to it!

                                                            Not necessarily, how would North go playing a game, then sitting a game out, only to go back full tilt into a another game after cooling down?
