2010: our last home game @ Etihad in Round 1?
2010 vs Sydney during Easter
2011 vs Geelong home @ MCG
2012 vs Port at AAMI
2013 vs GC at Surfers
If Westaway has any balls left, he really needs to push for us to play round 1 at Etihad next year.
Apart from Essendon, that had the limelight of sorts as season opener, we are the only other Victorian team to play interstate in round 1.

That's right...Sydney jumped us in the '09 game and led at quarter time by four goals.sainter#4 wrote:2010 we played sydney at anz in round 1

We then kept them to two points in the second quarter and scoreless in the third.

How can we get shafted so often at the start of the season?
And this year in Round 2 we have a "home" game at the G, not Etihad!

Surely playing a home game at the G againts the tiggies will be a good revenue raiser for us??? plus if we want to play finals we must play and win at the Gsaintspremiers wrote:makes it even worse.sainter#4 wrote:2010 we played sydney at anz in round 1

Only if the Tigers get up on Thursday night. If they lose their supporters will be back to dumping manure on the clubs doorstep and won't show up in round 2.SunburySaint wrote:Surely playing a home game at the G againts the tiggies will be a good revenue raiser for us??? plus if we want to play finals we must play and win at the Gsaintspremiers wrote:makes it even worse.sainter#4 wrote:2010 we played sydney at anz in round 1

Correct ash.
The MCC have us as category C game, which means very poor attendance due to so few Saints fans attending home or away games at the G.

Their fans turn up to all games as far as ive seen, they will show up against us aswell.. why?? because their supporters know they have a better than 50/50 chance of beating us and it is round 2 at the G.Saint_Ash wrote:Only if the Tigers get up on Thursday night.

IMHO if our fan's weren't so fickle at times we wouldnt have to worry about where we play. Personally, I dont care where we play aslong as we play well and win!!
But that's just me

Reckon a lot of teams would dream about opening the seasons with Port of Suns....when it's so important to get off to a good start, I can't be annoyed with being giving the Suns.

It is so important to get off to a flyer. Let's hope in the off season we've learned something about playing away from Etihad.

Re: 2010: our last home game @ Etihad in Round 1?
I don't care if its Etihad or the MCG, I just want us to have a HOME GAME in Rd 1 against one of the larger Vic clubs (Coll, *Ess, Haw, Geel). Carl & Rich left out because they now seem to have a mortgage on that Thursday Night. *Ess, subject to ASADA findings !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Isn't Sydney closer to NZ than us? Hardly a home game.

My out there suggestion for Rd 1
since being the 'first game' only game' allows for teams to get full exposure for some of that day- ala Tigers and Blues tomorrow.
maybe they could play Round 1 over 9 days ending on a Monday and then round 2 start the following Friday.
ie
it would have been - Last Friday, Sat, Sunday, Monday, then Thurdsay, Friday, Sat , Sunday, Monday
or the Wednesday and not the second monday.
just something differant...
