bt50 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 There was a leaked screenshot of the press release that confirms we are the season opener on Friday Oct 6 against Brisbane at home. Our derbies are Rounds 2, 12 and 22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good idea imo With 9 other teams and 27 rounds there is always going to be inequality. But on face value the last 9 rounds as equal as possible is a good idea.

neio Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Who came up with the idea to play games at 7pm on a Sunday night, bloody stupid But my favorite is playing in Perth on a Tuesday that starts at 10pm our time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tv rights basically fund the League so at the end of the day TV is priority 1. Not sure weather that's right but it wont change anytime soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Probably better than most seasons so far. Much more evenly balanced than last year in terms of regularity of home matches. But my goodness, when you see it set out and look at how the squads are shaping so far there are not going to be any easy matches at all next season. Wazza has his work cut out, that's for sure. The Perth matches are scheduled to avoid as far as possible the extreme summer temperatures over there. I don't have a problem with that.

mattyh001 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 3rd derby (March 2nd) is a Friday night. Gotta be a first. 1 hour ago, bt50 said: Would take that any day, that holds far less fears for me if it came to winning the title there. Might be a great one to go to tbh... First time I can remember we played Wellington away during school holidays. As such finally get to tick off both a holiday / tour of New Zealand and go to an away game over there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyh001 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) thought i'd bring up a few things that have gone into the new season fixture list: Games by the Day of the Week => Home (14 total) Away (13 total): Thursday x 1 * Tuesday x 1 Friday x 4 Friday x 3 Saturday x 6 Saturday x 5 Sunday x 3 Sunday x 4 * the Thursday game is on the eve of 'straya Day - public holiday for those of you who are lucky enough to get it off => successive home games on two occasions this season (between Rounds 5 and 6 as well as Rounds 17 and 18) => successive away games only once this season (between Rounds 15 and 16; unfortunately one of those games is in Perth, and is incorporated in the following point) => our players will have 5 day or less breaks between games on 5 occasions this season. It should be noted that this includes three such breaks during a 16 day period between Rounds 13 and 16 where every club plays 4 games across 16 days. => we commence only 1 of our 14 Home game at prior 7 pm - might not be so family friendly this season (to enhance the post from @Tony999 earlier) Edited June 28, 2017 by mattyh001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellenic Hero Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Logistically, a Friday night derby is gonna suck. But I understand why they have to do it TBH, as @thisphantomfortresssaid it'll be a lot easier for the Tards with their ACL commitments. Will it have an effect on the crowd?
