    wow how many were shown in 2012 and 2013 as i found myself downloading so many games in the past two years.

    Ahh the Buddy factor..it will ensure that will get top billing in the media for the next 5 years.

Why couldn't they give this to Collingwood instead I ask?
        It is the opening match of the Indigenous Round. I think the AFL want to take advantage of the Franklin, Goodes, Jetta combo (and the unfortunate controversy for Goodes last year) + Geelong's indigenous players, to get the round under way.

          Yep I got rid of mine. I can usually find a live feed when its not on fta and the money is useful for other things. What is interesting is after I cancelled they rang a couple of times offering me the same package at less than half what I was paying.

            For those who have used the ical calendar I have set up each year, I have just included 2014 season in the current one, so you don't have to reimport it each year.

            For those who haven't, here is the link to import https://www.google.com/calendar/ical...blic/basic.ics

              No upgrade for me. There are too many night games again. Will watch them on TV.

                They could have started it as a Friday night game like this year. Strange night for Sydney.

                Appears now to be called Workers Comp Stadium named after their sponsor. I mean Giants Stadium as they must not have a sponsor yet.
                Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

                  Completely agree with this and previous posters. All timeslot/dates aside, who we play and where we play them is an awesome outcome for us.

                  Not sure Kurt and Buddy agree wholeheartedly regarding the draw, but the flag keeps looking better and better.

                    Workers Comp Stadium - also known as the House of Pain?

                      I don't mind the draw, though I would have liked at least a couple of tougher games coming into the final 4 rounds to make us cherry ripe for the finals...I reckon even though they have been tough games and we have lost it stands us in good stead...though having games we should win might be what we need to propel us into the top 2 if it is a close season as most predict it will be

                          Requisite whinge Hawthorn have 15 home games. We have 8.

                          Vic clubs have such soft draws. They will never miss the 8 with that draw

                              I think this is a valid point. Huge difference.

                                With four teams having the MCG as their home ground, isn't it logical that they would have 15 home games?
