Sponsorship revenue will be decimated with no night games on TV. Funny how the AFL financially cripples the clubs already in trouble (the ones further down the ladder) with no financial plan in place to compensate them. Quote Selected
Re: 2019 AFL Fixture Reply #20 – November 01, 2018, 03:20:49 pm Crap draw.... For sponsors. Puts pressure on our finances. Crap draw.... Chances of early wins slim. Puts pressure on the club, especially Bolton. I get the feeling we're being set up to quietly fail, before the send 'em to X chorus starts up. If there is a god we will bitch slap the tigers week one, but we're living a nightmare not a dream. Quote Selected
Re: 2019 AFL Fixture Reply #21 – November 01, 2018, 03:23:46 pm That looks like a pretty good fixture to me; I'll get to a lot more games in 2019 The family friendly time slots should encourage younger family members to get on board - provided we're competitive and knock off a few of our main competitors.

Re: 2019 AFL Fixture Reply #22 – November 01, 2018, 03:34:42 pm I'm happy, I don't like night games as I don't get home until well after midnight, although I understand they are good for the club financially. I will be happy if we win somes games, no matter what time or day Quote Selected

That is the very same tactic they used to secure Anzac Day, first is was argued to "Give it some time to develop" and then it can be rostered around different clubs. Sheedy painted it like CheatsFC and the Filth doing all the hard work and taking on all the risk for the good of footy! Then after two or three years the argument became "We've done such a good job developing the schedule, you can't possibly risk giving it to anybody else!"Now whenever something like this comes up a tool like Sheedy will come out and state, "How can you risk giving it to anybody else, we(CheatsFC) have a proven track record of making these things work!" Carefully not mentioning that no other club gets the opportunity, and even if they do CheatsFC will white-ant them at every stage of the process!

Re: 2019 AFL Fixture Reply #26 – November 01, 2018, 05:04:11 pm You know you've come off a bad year when you look at the fixture and you wonder where the first win will come from. Even GCS up there early in the year will be a tough gig.I really hope for everyone's sake (especially BB) that we don't take until round 8 to get a win next season....... Quote Selected
Re: 2019 AFL Fixture Reply #27 – November 01, 2018, 05:51:20 pm Round 8 is against the filth, so unlikely. Round 10 against St Kilda is a chance Quote Selected
