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.

 

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

Edited by olisik

Anyone else think that is a really boring Round 1 fixture...


Love it.

No excuses. Fresh and fit list. 

Plenty of time to have a game plan and strategy to win.

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.

Agreed. 5 months to start planning. 
Win this one and the confidence grows.

In spite of optimism,, I couldnt imagine a Worse start to 2020!!

Goody under pump right from the start!

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. 

 

Bring it on. 

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

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
