Confirmation from whom?

Based on article in Age 30 minutes ago (or in fact a strategic leak from AFL to keep horse racing off the back page), by my reading there is still one game needed forr the G.  Being either bombers or MFC.

Otherwise, its west Coast at Perth, GC away or Port Adelaaide away.

In other fixture news:

■ Melbourne will head interstate for the first game of the season.

    ■ North Melbourne was slated to take on St Kilda their Round 1 game.

    ■ Geelong will be taking their handbags .....

    it is a weird stat that we haven’t played interstate since 1998. Hasn’t helped us and can’t begrudge an away game to start the year

    After process of elimination with respect to confirmed and unconfirmed leaks, I reckon we're playing GC at Metricon round 1.

    We have played well 2 of the last 3 games there. Pretty much a free swing. Bring it on.

    I like your approach. BUT 3.20 in Perth in late March.

    ^^^

    The Sunday 3.20 pm time slots start right up front.  Horribly hot at that time in Perth!!!

    No pre-season game in WA so every chance we play both WCE and Freo in Perth....

    The club likes to have the first few games in Melbourne to get memberships rolling.  Not a great start.  Worse if we lose.

    AFL: How can we burn any of the teams confidence going into 2020, cause as many cramps as possible and invoke dehydration and injuries?

    Gill: Give them Sunday afternoon in Perth against the premiership favorites

    AFL: done

    at least they wont have spent weeks doing pre-season in the rain, but you never know with Melbourne aha

    Always good to play last years top 4 in the early rounds. Takes them a few weeks to get going. 

    Bring it on!

    and the dogs v pies at dock lands constitutes a blockbuster now? According to the herald.

    Spot on. Also that loss in the prelim was followed by an awful season. Time to get revenge.

    Can see your point of view but it would of been nice to play them one next year and at the G.

    No better way to kick off the season than rolling the Eagles in Perth. 

    No doubt we embrace the challenge and see it as an opportunity to out 2019 quickly in the rear view mirror.

    True. 
    But also clubs like Carlton and Essendon, have dug their own grave in no less significant ways and still have never suffered poor draws like we have. 
    Yes I know, big clubs and so on and so forth. Hard to become a big club with this level of inequality though. 

    Yes, completely agree, but you have to view the AFL as the business that it is, and those clubs are big drawers than us. Simple as that. Commercially, we have a long way to go. A few flags would help convert a few. 2018 finals shows we can draw if we're playing successful finals footy.

    Just saw that Round 1's against West Coast - literally loled

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
