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.

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
