Crap draw.... For sponsors. Puts pressure on our finances.
Crap draw.... Chances of early wins slim. Puts pressure on the club, especially Bolton.
I get the feeling we're being set up to quietly fail, before the send 'em to X chorus starts up.
If there is a god we will bitch slap the tigers week one, but we're living a nightmare not a dream.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

That looks like a pretty good fixture to me; I'll get to a lot more games in 2019
The family friendly time slots should encourage younger family members to get on board - provided we're competitive and knock off a few of our main competitors.

I'm happy, I don't like night games as I don't get home until well after midnight, although I understand they are good for the club financially. I will be happy if we win somes games, no matter what time or day

The fixturing prosses is as bent as a pollie's pre-selection.
CheatsFC people are already in the media making statements like the Good Friday schedule will take 2 or 3 years to develop. That is the very same tactic they used to secure Anzac Day, first is was argued to "Give it some time to develop" and then it can be rostered around different clubs. Sheedy painted it like CheatsFC and the Filth doing all the hard work and taking on all the risk for the good of footy! Then after two or three years the argument became "We've done such a good job developing the schedule, you can't possibly risk giving it to anybody else!"
Now whenever something like this comes up a tool like Sheedy will come out and state, "How can you risk giving it to anybody else, we(CheatsFC) have a proven track record of making these things work!" Carefully not mentioning that no other club gets the opportunity, and even if they do CheatsFC will white-ant them at every stage of the process!

You know you've come off a bad year when you look at the fixture and you wonder where the first win will come from. Even GCS up there early in the year will be a tough gig.
I really hope for everyone's sake (especially BB) that we don't take until round 8 to get a win next season.......
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Round 8 is against the filth, so unlikely. Round 10 against St Kilda is a chance

Not if you start winning or at least are dangerous and highly competitive.
Nothing but 6 and 7 day breaks will help.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
