I suspect that the AFL might not fixture a home game for Melbourne against GWS for fear of a venomous reception from the fans to a certain player.

The only certainties I know with the fixture is that Collingwood will get away with a substantial number of games in Melbourne (mainly at the G) and we'll play Geelong at Simmonds Stadium.

I agree. Very slim chance that we will play GWS in Melbourne in 2012.

Pretty sure the fixture comes out the end of this month.

My tip is that we will play someone like North where members from both clubs will get entry - North in lieu of their Tassie game/s and us in lieu of our Darwin (?) game. I reckon North are due for a home game in round one, and I reckon we'll play them twice. I doubt we'll play Hawks twice.

I'd call it a 100% chance of Melbourne playing GWS at the MCG. AFL loves that stuff for promotional purposes. See GC vs Geelong.

I reckon we'll get them twice.

Really hope we don't get Geelong down there. Sick of getting our pants pulled down there.

I would love our first month to look like:

Gold Coast MCG sat arvo

Gws up there

Richmond away at the G on sat arvo

Essendon at home at the G on a Friday night

And Gws to finish off at the G!

Sorry, wedding plans et. al. on the brain. For some reason I figured that because they play the week before, they could still play us in round 1. Carry on.

Dees vs North - Sunday twilight. Just over 8,000 people attend, Dees by 32 points, Maric kicks 2 for the Roos.

8,000 seagulls maybe...First Round 2012...40,000 melbourne fans will show up..

We have been very proactive in the last 6 weeks...it will count.

North play home games at Etihad. No Darwin game this year. No predictions from me.

I believe the the fixture is due to be released Fri 28th Oct - day after I sail out of the country for 7 days.

My thoughts exactly. There were a few media types complaining that Geelong had GC twice for the promotional value of Ablett vs his old team rather than having them play a contender. We should get the same advantage this year and have two shots at GWS so they can run out TS and have him show his stuff against his old team.

Hawthorn in the sunday twilight game.

Hawthorn by 60 points.

Another MFC season kicks off with a wimper.

Greg Denham tears stomach muscles from uncontrolable laughter.

Only joking folks.

Richmond saturday afternoon dees up by 3 points after winning goal kicked by Martin after the siren.

Confirmed Rd1 games for 2012 through the media releases:

GWS vs Sydney - ANZ Stadium

Fremantle vs St Kilda - Venue TBC

Carlton vs Richmond - MCG

Others:

25 April - Essendon vs Collingwood - MCG

11 June - Melbourne vs Collingwood - MCG

So there's 11 other teams we could play. Personally, I hope we stay in Melbourne for Rd1.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
