Melbourne v freo middle weekend of the school holidays in Darwin.

I guess I know what im doing!

[beelzebub 23,390]

Fixture ok...could be a lot worse.

Its time we embrace Stinklands as venue and learn to master it. Still hate the place though.

[dees189227 12,453]

Why cant we get a home game against essendon at the G. Three years in a row now.

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

12 MCG games...only eight home games at the G....we no longer can call it home...sad

[titan_uranus 25,191]

The Geelong game is the week after the Fremantle Darwin game.

Might as well be in Geelong.

[Schneider 220]

Grr Etihad

[Dr. Gonzo 24,456]

Why cant we get a home game against essendon at the G. Three years in a row now.

It's the cost of having a guaranteed home game against the Pies on Queens Bday every year.

[titan_uranus 25,191]

Five Saturday night games. First bye comes is Round 10 (after Richmond, before Alice Springs). Second bye is Round 18 (second week of the split round).

[biggestred 5,257]

can someone explain to me why we have a home game at Etihad???

[John Crow Batty 8,885]

Why cant we get a home game against essendon at the G. Three years in a row now.

Because it is part of Essendon's punishment? Let them be saddled with the low gate returns.

Overall it is not bad relative to our under achieving. A huge bonus not to go back to Geelong.

Hope the boys put on a better performance at Skoda this year. I'll be cheering on Tyson

[titan_uranus 25,191]

Two Sunday twilight games (away v Essendon in Round 13, home v North Melbourne in Round 14).

Two Saturday twilight games (away v Adelaide in Round 7, away v Hawthorn in Round 20).

[dazzledavey36 55,964]

About time we play Geelong and North Melbourne at the MCG!

Btw I don't reckon the fixture is that bad at all? chance for some early wins.

[DemonOX 8,837]

Any games at Brisbane or Gold Coast?

Nope, 2 games at Adelaide oval, 1 game at Subi, 1 game at Giants Stadium and 2 in the NT

[titan_uranus 25,191]

Any games at Brisbane or Gold Coast?

No, neither. Both of them are once-only games, home games (Brisbane at Etihad).

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Dreadful draw from a commercial point of view and the game at Etihad is just another kick in the guts.

We cannot make any money from this draw and I'm sure that PJ is less than happy, there are two games where we will make a profit Collingwood and Geelong.

[Arrow 1,257]

Interesting return trips against Port, North who are middle-top tier teams, and repeats against West Coast who had an off year pose some threat. Some good home games though.

Queens Birthday home again helps us. Better revenue than last year, but slightly harder fixture game wise. Enjoy Paul.

[PaulRB 6,435]

I reckon our run up to the bye is sensational, with only Swans top 6, and the rest within the realm of possibility...

Really need to used the first half of the season to build some confidence and momentum.

Interesting.

If (big if) we can get a win against the Saints in Round 1, you'd hope that our opening home game in Round 2 could pull a decent figure (more decent than what we're going to get in Round 21 v GWS, anyway). But yes, the draw is financially abysmal.

It is good in that respect

We are a sneaky chance to be up 4-1 for mine
