Thursday
Richmond to make a absolute mess of ■■■■ carlton. If theres one positive about the Richmond flag is that they whip it out agaisnt those ■■■■■.
Saturday:
Legit AFL your opening the season with:
St Kilda vs Brisbane
Port vs Freo
Gold Coast vs North (in Cairns)
Well at least the battle of pelicans (hawthorn vs collingwood could provide early season lolz)
Sunday:
GWS vs Footscray (in canb)
Melbourne vs Geelong (apparently Danger, GAJ and selwood are in the same midfield)
WCE vs Sydney (optus stadium opening game)
Not only FNQ footy fans will be desperate to get some live footy, so will footy fans in general. Hence scheduling matches which probably feature lower viewership both on tele and in attendance than say just the attendance of EFC vs say Freo at Etihad.
Obviously, my enjoyment of the last 2 games entirely depends on the Bombers performance Friday night. Is it sad that a win/loss dictates what kind of weekend I have?!
That’s a negative to attending the game, but I still like being there for “opening night” of the season. I’d love it if Tigers lost though. That would be heavenly.
