How do you rate your clubs 2014 draw? (plus username change by me)?

Question

AFL Fixture was released today, how do think your club fared? 

Port Adelaide got a much tougher draw, which we were always going to get due to our success in 2013. Disappointing we only get 4 games in Melbourne (I live there) but at least we don't have to go down to the Geelong for the 48th year in a row. I also think we deserved at least 1 more Friday Night game. 

Now, I have also changed my username because it came to my attention that other users were taking shots at me with names such as "Kurt Tippett Society (R.I.P GT)" & "Stephen Dank Society (R.I.P James Hird)" So I decided to change my name.

R$easonably happy with Carlton's draw, only 5 interstate games but 3 of them are on 6 day turnarounds so they might turn out to be hard games. We also have Geelong's home game at Etihad instead of Simmonds so that is good for us (if they can play well at etihad next year that is). 5 home games at the G and 6 at Etihad, could be worse I suppose. Only play 4 teams twice, Pies Bombers Cats and Power. So overall I think it is not so bad, just annoying for the club to have to play at Etihad so bloody often. 

But what does sh1t me is the broadcast schedule- 9 games not on free to air (but one of these will probably air on 7Qld). This involves 4 rounds in a row including the bye where they will not be on tv... an entire calendar month from May 2nd to June 6th. Great job AFL. I will miss almost half of their games and since they only play in Qld once I'll only get to one game. Disappointed with that.

Very average draw for Brisbane. The two bookends of the year are deplorable. Plenty of hard matches to start and finish. We got one more match in Melbourne in 2014 than 2013 (6 games up from 5) We play almost all the top 8 teams from this year at home next year so playing at home won't guarantee us wins.

Your new username - 7/10 (you should mention something about being undefeated at Adelaide Oval

Adelaide's draw is good but we missed out on a few big games such as the 1st match a the Adelaide Crowval and SA's ANZAC match. Missing out on those games feels like an extra punishment from the tippett saga.  
We also have to play GWS on Easter Sunday at Adelaide Crowval at lunch time which makes it difficult to attract crowds.

Pretty happy with the Eagles draw. Starting off the 2014 Season with 3 straight winnable games is great. Also, having Port Adelaide and Collingwood in Perth which happens only once in about 3 years, is also really great to see.

You know what really bothers me, that day games are on the decline. Essendon and Geelong only play 3 day games this whole season. It is just stupid. It wasn't that long ago that all matches were played on a Saturday at 2. On average next year each club will only play 6.5 day games (Day games range from 12 - 2:40).  They are also upping the amount of twilight games. The next thing Andrew Demetriou will do is change the AFL grand final to Saturday night.

Must say it's not terrible for us at all, in fact it could be the best draw of any of the sides

We do have to play the cats at simonds, which won't be easy and the dockers twice (who are most certainly a good side)

Richmond's draw overall looked very good. Only have to face one finalist from this year, Sydney (but twice) and two games also against Brisbane and St. Kilda.
