The 2011 AFL fixture is due out on Friday 29 October.

According to 5AA as reported on bigfooty we have a round 1 interstate trip against Adelaide at AAMI (so lets hope it's a load of crap)!

Although it would suck playing at AAMI and we are facing another near certain 0-1 start, we haven't travelled in round 1 since 1998 so we can't complain.

A Thursday, must be Easter Thursday, that would be great if true, with no game on good Friday.

That's not so bad! We have too break our hoodoo over there. Round 1 is the best time to do it and get some confidence up.

I will most likely make the trip for this one. A 7 & a 1/2 hour drive ain't so bad! I prefer it to be a Sunday game though and am hoping to have an RDO on the Monday!

Perfect weekend! Dee's by 5 goals...

Fixture rumors?! I love this place at times.

After waiting all summer you want Round 1 at home, but I guess were are due if this fixture rumour is true.

Like Dee tention says, plenty of time to plan for an interstate raid and get a win, what a great start to the year if we could manage that.

We'll see.

I also posted this on Bigfooty, but we've played the Hawks a few times in Round 1, haven't we? I remember in 2003-ish we beat them by a goal - didn't Junior attempt a specky and concuss himself or something like that? (I defintely remember a player doing that, not 100% sure if it was him)

I just checked, we played them in Round 1 in 2002-04, 2008 and 2010.

this is a fixture, not a draw

haha true. But our time will come.

Imagine we "drew" Adelaide at AAMI round 1. Nothing would instill confidence like a hoodoo breaking, round one interstate trip would. We have to do it sometime very true

I heard a while ago that we'd be travelling early, likely in Round 1 as we haven't been intersate in Round 1 since '98 which is a long time. I'd also like us to do more travel in the first half of the year, as with younger legs I think we could give the interstate games a better shot early rather than having 4 out of the last 8 away from the G when we're either tired or pushing for finals.

I'll repost the other thing I heard, which was an early-season Friday night away match against Collingwood (I'm tipping Round 3, with a home game in Round 2). AFL wants to build up our rivalry once more.

Just rumours, but we'll see what happens.

It is just that (a load of carp) according this article in the Hun which has the Crows at home to the Hawks at AAMI in round 1:-

Today's HUN has the following Round 1 match-ups (I'm going to assume they're correct to draw my conclusion):

St Kilda-Geelong

Adelaide-Hawthorn

Carlton-Richmond

West Coast-North Melbourne

Given Gold Coast has a bye, it leaves Brisbane, Collingwood, Essendon, Fremantle, Port Adelaide, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs as possible opponents.

Essendon wants a Melbourne-based club for its Round 1 game. That won't be Collingwood, so that leaves us or the Dogs. Given it'll be at Etihad I say it will be Essendon-Bulldogs.

That leaves a whole lot of interstate sides, and us.

Conclusion: Round 1: Collingwood-Melbourne.

I personally would love to play them in Round 1. Big stage, 80,000+ crowd, test us against the best.

I don't think so because we're slated to play them in round 3.

What we do know is that with Adelaide and West Coast playing at home, Port Adelaide and Fremantle will open with away games. I wouldn't mind having a crack at either of those at the G in round 1.

Where'd you hear that? I heard we're down for a Friday night clash early in the season. Whether it's Round 1 or 2 or 3 or whenever, I like the idea.

I also liked the idea of us travelling more in the first half and having more MCG games in the second half.

Friday:

Geelong V St Kilda MCG (n) Seven

Saturday:

Collingwood V Port Adelaide MCG Fox

Adelaide V Hawthorn AS (n) Ten

Brisbane V Fremantle G (n) Fox

Wouldn't Coll v Port be on TEN delayed ?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
