2019 AFL Fixture.

[Mr Miyagi]

We get 7 Friday night lights, and 2 Thursday nights (Tiggers and Bears). We get a WEEK break before and after ANZAC Day this year (thanks Ed!), but the mind boggles why we play Port Adelaide at Marvel Stadium on a Friday night. Here's the full fixture.

[Pies4shaw]

Richmond, West Coast, Melbourne, Essendon and Footscray twice. Brisbane, Swans, West Coast and GWS (in successive games) and Adelaide interstate.

[MJ23]

no break between games less than 6 days.
9 x 6 day breaks
but 3 x 9 day breaks outside of byes.

Back to back interstate trips with 8 day break in between.

[Mr Miyagi]

Round 23 will be a Sunday twilight, guaranteed.

[melliot]

Richmond, West Coast, Melbourne, Essendon and Footscray twice.

This is the most critical difference between determining a hard fixture from a soft one and anything in-between.

It is as tough as you could probably get. No likely bottom half teams. 3 of them are from the top 4 last year, one of them is the longest road trip (and get a great ride from the umps when at home). Dons are either challenging for the 8 or in it. Dogs appear to be the easiest of that lot and are not that easy.

We get none of the cellar dwellers twice. None.

It can change quickly (like Adelaide and the Dogs drop offs). But at this time hard to see Tiges, WCE, and Dees being anything but finalists and Bombers will be an OK or good side.


Its a difficult fixture.

Do cats appear to be the easiest of that lot and are not that easy? Hmm.

[stoliboy]

Draw difficulty for 2019. Rank is hardest to easiest.

Colours are for 2018 points differential.
Red = Top-4
Pink = Top-8
Green = Bottom-4

[Jezza]

Why are we marked in 'pink' as opposed to red?

Richmond, West Coast, Melbourne and Geelong are all marked in red.

[stoliboy]

[melliot]

^ that's a bit silly. Why not based on ladder position. Remember Percentage doesn't matter !

[thebaldfacts]

To be the best, you have to beat the best.

Pretty sure that in 2010 we had the other teams from the top 4 in 2009 twice.

Turned out that they were the same top 4 in 2010.

Expect 4 of the double up sides we play will be top 8, so looks like we will play 11 times against top 8 and 11 times against non top 8 sides.

Tough draw but we can do it.

[BazBoy]

For me absolutely bonza—-Instead of overseas in 2019 am heading to Queensland and in particular FNQld.

So a Sydney stopover before as last time (2013) I watched the Syd game at Homebush

Go you bloody beauties
