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

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.

Win this one and the confidence grows.

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: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
