It looks like we play Geelong in Round 3 at Etihad Stadium. Again, unclear if that's our home game (if so, not sure how I feel about that) or away (if so, good result).

Collingwood is going to lose prime time exposure (great news).

    I think we're away to Geelong at Etihad. That would be a great result.

    Although 2 of our first 3 games at Etihad probably not so great.

    You know, I don't mind it. 

     

    Usually we part play tons at the G then when that Etihad game sneaks in it is a forgone conclusion that we'll lose.  This way, bang, we need to start the year hard at Etihad. Those games are our focus all preseason so we should be in the mindset. 

     

    No idea if we'll won but it's as good a time to break the mindset as ever. And if we do we set ourselves up for finals with more games at the G in the back half on the season.

    I wonder how many (if any) Friday night games we'all get and what are the chances we'all get it as our home game. I'm going to lock a few in based on previous seasons, we will play both Carlton and Essendon once at the G and it'll be an away game. 

    Just seems to be tradition now.

    Ill bet anything that Geelong game at Etihad is our home game, and we dont play them at the MCG yet again.

    The putrid AFL didnt mind giving us a home game there vs The Saints this season.

    Blues rd 2 at the G I've been told.....

    I read an article saying Richmond should expect a much more favourable fixture in 2017 because of where they finished in 2016. That might be fair enough but from my memory, they received a very good one this year and it didn't help.

    The Geelong game will have to be their home game as they can't play at Simonds for the first 8 weeks of the year, so their home games will be Etihad.  Much rather play them there than at the Kardinia Park hell hole.

    Ignoring our history of ordinary results there I actually quite like Kardinia Park its a nice little stadium.

    While I will not be happy at all to play a home game at Etihad. I suspect we will once again have to. I feel like I'd much rather it against a Geelong than a St Kilda. At least then we will still get the attendance of a VIc side and we arnt playing someone at their home ground.

    Since 2004 we have only played Carlton at the G as our home game 3 times.

    Since rd 1 2005 we have played Ess once as our home game at the G

    No wonder we get stuffed financially. It's a disgrace.

    Highlights:

    - Play the annual Queen’s Birthday home match against Collingwood
    - Play an ANZAC Day Eve match at the MCG for the third consecutive season (note: it will be Richmond’s turn to host next year’s game)
    - Play a home Friday night match against the Sydney Swans in round 15
    - Play a home game against a big Victorian club (Carlton) early in the season in round two
    - Play new opponents in the Northern Territory (Gold Coast Suns at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs and the Adelaide Crows at TIO Stadium, Darwin)
    - Play no home matches at Etihad Stadium

    I like that we have a decent run at the G to start and end the season. One Friday night game is a bit poor, but three Saturday nights might make up for it. The amount of six day breaks is a worry, will test us. Positive overall though.

    Friday night game at the G against the Swans in Round 15.

    At least there is apparently a bye after the round 10 game against the Suns in Alice.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
