Perhaps this is a little premature, but what are your early wishes for the 2017 fixture?

Mine would have to be:

1. St.Kilda at the MCG (so we can beat that hoodoo)

2. Geelong at the MCG (haven't played them there since 2014)

3. West Coast at the MCG (last time was round 2 2014)

4. Richmond twice

5. Essendon round 1 Friday night (saw that Essendon was proposing this. I think it'd be an awesome way to start 2017 with a win at the G on a Friday night)

Wouldn't mind starting with Hawthorn at the G on a Friday night. The old guard V the new. Get them early in the season too.

Anzac Eve Tigers plus return Friday night match

QB V Pies with a 2pm Saturday return match

Bye after Darwin match

No Geelong at Geelong. Time for others to go there

Home game V Bombers with us in our proper jumper

Some fairness in home game schedule V big Vic clubs

Last game of the year at the G

13 G games

No they can get stuffed.

That will be a big celebration of their returning drug cheats

Can we play them round 15

I want to see every side get at least one home game on a Friday and a Saturday night.

I want us to not play ANY home games at Etihad. 

We have two marquee games in Queens Birthday and ANZAC eve, so we're ok there. 

With our ladder position we should see two matches against Richmond, Collingwood, St Kilda, GCS, North or Port.  Something around that range. 

If we saw something like this I'd be pretty happy.

My biggest bugbear with the fixture is that everybody wants to play Friday night games and very few clubs want to play Sunday afternoon games.

So wouldn't it make sense to schedule two games each Friday night and reduce the three game Sunday arvo commitments to just two games.

That way you could even decide mid-season which Friday night game is on free-to-air and which is not and the chances of primetime massacres are reduced - remember Carlton in 2015.

If that were the case then I'd like us to have five Friday nights, five Saturday arvos, five Saturday nights, five Sundays arvos, one Monday (QB v Coll) and one Anzac Eve (v Rich).

I've got no problem with teams earning the right to play on Friday night as long as its consistent. Consistent being Richmond miss out next year and Collingwood are rained in.

Probably thinking too much about this but what if you had finish say top 10 to get a Friday night game. Wouldn't be a popular idea but on the whole there was a lot of junk games this year.

my wish is that essendrugs are not gifted the softest and most financialy attractivel draw of all clubs

i have zero confidence this will happen however

 

This will 100% happen.  Along with the Cats who get the easiest draw every single season.

I'd like to play Essendon at the MCG on Sunday 1 May. Why? Because Anzac Day falls on a Tuesday in 2017 meaning Collingwood and Essendon will only get a five day break if the AFL ensures all teams play the next round on the traditional Friday/Saturday/Sunday slots. I'd also be happy if it were to be Collingwood, but given we play them on QB, I assume playing them in May would be less likely.

No "home" games at Doglands, and particularly no home games there vs clubs whose home is at that soulless hole

A bye after Darwin - fair for both teams involved. 

Home game v drug cheats but not round 1 when they will be "buoyed by the return of the victims of injustice". 

More Friday night G games than those who finished below us in 2016 NB Collingwood, Richmond, Carltank and EssUndone

No playing Geelong in Geelong

Any home game at Etihad is to be a Friday Night game so as to make the most of having to play there.  Against Adelaide I guess?

No Friday Night games for Essendon.

Keep ANZAC Day Eve.

Saints at the MCG

Bye after Darwin.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs GWS

    It's Game Day and this could be the Demons last roll of the dice for their chances at making finals this season as the come face to face with the hot and cold GWS Giants tonight at the MCG in a true 8 point game.

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
