2019 AFL Fixture

[Lods]

That doesn't answer the question. Sorry.

If you're asking about TV ratings
Do you have the figures?

We can pretty much discount the Richmond  90,000 game...First game,new season plenty of hope, playing the premiers.
So our best apart from that was one 68,000 crowd against our arch rival.
We're not as good as we think we are at drawing a crowd and won't be until we're on the rise.

No you can't
The first game of the year is a clean slate.
Not many Carlton supporters would have attended anticipating a 2 and 20 season.
Most would have thought we were a chance of knocking them off....even more at quarter time

Personally I'm rapt we have no Friday night games, not I until we can provide we can compete and win  consistently. I hope its in 2019, but until we demonstrate it, I am happy to not have to watch us lose on a Friday and spend the whole weekend thinking about it. I look forward the reverse of that in fact, us smashing opposition sides on the big stage on Friday nights. In the mean time, anyone, anytime, anywhere.

No they don't...especially home games.

Of the top 20 crowd numbers last year we had 2

Essendon had 5
Richmond had 10
Collingwood had 7
Hawthorn had 5

How many of the 'top 20' crowds were at a ground outside the MCG? 3. They were all in Perth with 2 WA derbys and last years grand finalists against this years grand finalists.

Given we play only half our games at the MCG, and given we play well over half our away games elsewhere, it puts us behind the 8-ball to begin with.

Both Tigers and Pies were flying last year and play the majority of their games at the G.

Bombers are a bit like us, but they still get 'Dream time' and 'ANZAC day' so thats a given 2 every year.

Just on the Hawks, they only averaged less than 2000 people more than we did on average for the year in Home and Away. They made top 4.

There were 70,000 Richmond fans there.

We kicked the first 5 goals and I was the only fan in my bay standing up.

You're making my point for me

We still have residual support but it's waning.
What would our crowd have been if we'd played Richmond in round 16...and how many would have been Carlton folk.
It will flow back.... but the key as flyboy said in another thread is to "win games"
At the moment we won't get,nor do we deserve, prime time games

And that is where we found out the worth/ability of the senior Coach.

Our "kids' are past the point of saying they're young....

Several need to really step up. And I reckon will.

As much as I hate Kennett, I have to admire his stance, he not pulling any punches and has unloaded on the AFL regarding the biased draw and the disrespect he perceives from a Dawks perspective. If we had a tenth his attitude we'd be walking beside our opponents instead of being walked on!

So I'd like nothing better than to see the Dawks turn the CheatsFC into a bruised puddle!
