Wrote to herald sun about dream collingwood draw:
So what is different to any other year. Collingwood always get the best draw. 2010 how many games in a row at MCG - now come on AFL - call it national comp - re name it collingwood comp.
18 home games (in vic) 4 away and 2 byes - fair go - talk about hand fed.
AFL is not Australian Football League - it is CFL - Coolingwood Football league
Give other states a fair go - how can this competition be even and see one team heaps of games in VIC no travelling - spread out byes all organised.
Give interstate teams a better go. 2 games on MCG for Swans. If you want 2nd team in Sydney to survive - give sydney team a fair go. Sydney NRL people will not cop a lopsided draw to one team.
Certainly makes a Swans supporter very disgruntled with this draw because of Victorian team bias. No thanks to AFL - not at all. Why don't you give collingwood the cup for 2011 on a silver platter now.
Talk about look after Pies.
Each team plays 22 games of which 11 are home games. If every Victorian team played every interstate team away from home that would mean 7 games outside of Victoria. That means that each Victorian will play a minimum of 15 games in Victoria. It is simple arithmetic, not a conspiracy.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

I used to compain about having to play at Kardinia Park every year, but in 2011 we're moving to Geelong and I'll be living a 10 minute walk from the ground, so it's not too bad for me this coming season!Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

This red herring comes up every year. ALL Victorian based teams play more games in Victoria because there are more Victorian based teams in the League.

Yeah, I'm with you Johnno, looks like a ripper draw to me.
We play last years GF'ists only once each and both at home. We only travel once to WA and SA and the WA trip is certainly against our preferred opponents of the 2 options. We get to play the Cats at the SCG where I dare say we fare better at than at Homebush.
So much to like about the draw.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the Easter bye. It's a ripper for me personally, it's a 5-day break this year with the Tuesday a holiday for Anzac Day (which is on Easter Monday). If we had a Sydney game, it means stuck in Sydney and no getting away. If it was in Melbourne, could have made a trip of it, but then our Melb. based fans are in the same predicament. I'll be getting sooooooooooo many brownie points for taking the family away for a non-footy holiday in the middle of the footy season. I'm off to Forster, booked it already....lolLast edited by Triple B; 29 October 2010, 04:35 PM.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Very pleased to be getting a first up game at the G in round 1......I like the games we have here in melb, all very winnable, except for the cats down at that dump of a joint, why o why must we continue to play down there????????!!!! Geez collingwood does alright, what a joke how they only have to travel 4 times and 2 of those they will most probably win against us (barring a miracle of us finally beating them) and gold coast.Comment

Hate day games at ANZ. Hate trying to get to SCG from the suburbs after work on a Friday night. And why oh why can't we play Collingwood at the SCG for a change? Cranky and not happy.All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund BurkeComment

Pleased with our draw for the most part, no excuses for not at least making the top 6 again.
Collingwood are given a dream start by playing Essendon, Richmond, Port and North Melbourne within the first 6 rounds. Do the premiers need to be handed such a cushy start?Comment

Why are Collingwood playing at Etihad in Round 1? Bizarre.
Not a bad start for us, Round 4 will be our first big test to measure our improvement against the Cats who are possibly on the decline, but still a very good team.
Still only 9 out of 22 games on FTA, interestingly we have back-to-back games at the SCG three times during the season. We actually play the Bombers in MelbourneComment
