2011 Eels Draw

[cgee221]

Mark down rounds 11 & 12 in your diaries ladies and gentlemen, they are the most important of our season. If we want to play finals football, we must win these games and with purpose.

 

[Suitman]

I am in.

Anyone thinking about Townsville?

Also need to find a Warm Hotel in Canberra, me thinks it will be quite chilli.

Planning on having a curry?

Starting in NZ and finishing at the Gold Coast - very tough

So basically we play all the interestate teams away except for the Broncos, we play the Storm and Dragons twice.

The only positive is playing the Sharks only once - shame it is home, when they always beat us.

I bet the Sharkies are spewing they only get to play us once next year

 

[Tony Bongo]

If we don't make the eight again at least we will be on the Gold Coast for mad Monday ;-)
The two byes are both after playing the Dragons. Not happy about only one game in SE QLD.

if my bourbon memory serves me correct, its been a while since we've only played the donkos once in a season. aah bourbon, the brownest of browns

 

[bartman]

talk about 3p getting a helping hand.

5 of the first 7 games at home.

Only two of those first 7 games are against teams below us on the table. I don't expect to win much more than 50%.

I don't reckon that draw helps anyone... least of all Kearney who sadly will be under pressure with elections on.

Might see HJ down there

Stated in another thread that I can't wait to see the new stadium, So I think I'll go.

Suity

I'm definately going

Went there for the test match in May, its a pretty good stadium.

I dont mind the draw, at least we play the Panthers twice and only Sharks once. Should really play Cronulla in Round 1 so we can get it over and done with.

Surprisingly we play the Titans twice, so I'll be happy to go up the Gold Coast in September next year.

Again we play teams twice in the space of a month, the Dragons, we play them in the first weekend of May and then the first weekend of June.

Who does these draws??

WOO HOO! they FINALLY come to canberra to play!

Yep. I am a happy man again too. Been long enough.. 2007 i think..

the only bad thing is we will get smashed down here in the cold.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Who does these draws??

It is a US based company, that has a computer system that works out the Draws according to a list of requirements.

The AFL and the NRL have used them for a while now.

I just can't remember the name of the company or the website at the moment.

 

[forward pass]

Damn - that sharks match is at home. That is two points gone !

 

[Parra Guru]

So, who's up for a Melbourne trip? I sure am.

VERY tempted for this!! But depends which day it falls on as I'm taking a fair bit of leave that month.
