I was chatting to a bloke involved at Port less than an hour ago and they are due to play the Suns at AO at 1pm Sunday and have been advised by the AFL that Marvel is booked out and that in the possibility of a Melbourne team in the GF our fixture with Freo would be swapped with theirs.
Port v Suns would go to Sat night and we go to Sunday 1pm
Can anyone tell me how to download the ecal fixture into my work outlook calendar. As it is work I cannot register with Microsoft. Previously I had downloaded it and then imported it but donât seem to be able to do that this year. Thanks in advance,
Think he was hypothesising where the sides will be next year. The premise being that Pies and Giants would be something close to finals locks and the Swans and Norf will be in the group vying for the bottom of the 8.
This situation has emerged before and the AFLâs stance was that they wouldnât be moving the game that was scheduled should their be a clash, think it was a Bulldogs game from memory. Maybe the A League have since put the booking in place to ensure itâs not even a question in the future.
I heard the reason for the delayed release of the fixture was that Fark Carlton were worried their brand would be trashed by having too much exposure. So the AFL had to reschedule five Friday night delights.
Forget it. I know why. AFL still underwriting AFLW etc, need the Richmond crowds to keep turning up in numbers to boost the coffers. Also explains why theyâve given us & Collingwood âblockbusterâ fixtures. Us playing NM on Good Friday virtually guarantees a sell out. Ditto Hawks game at Marvel. More eyes on TV & 48,000 at the games. Makes sense in monetary terms.
the CD chart is only based on 2018 Points Differential. Geelong are rated as a tougher opponent than the Pies, even though nobody would actually believe that. Salt grain.
