Conspiracy theory:

It would have been our home game , likely without a crowd.

With the alternating home team plan, Collingwood gets the spoils next year

    no thanks....want a few easy ones to buildup some degree of momentum... go 0-3 or 0-4 and the season is over

    Seriously...it should just be a random draw with no manipulation whatsoever but we know it wont be. There will be the usual Friday night bias and we will get the Sunday afternoon graveyard shift along with the Saints, Freo, Dogs etc

    And Richmond for Anzac Eve adding insult to our financial injuries of 2020. 

    Eddie said on Footy Classified last Wednesday night that the 2020 draw will become the 2021 draw, with only change been that Easter falls on a different date. This will save the afl extra work.

    Wow.  That’s fine by me.
    Except Eagles (away) and Giants would be a tough start.

    Yep, my initial thoughts as well joeboy. The filth always have an ulterior motive.

    It is a shame that the mnd big freeze won't go ahead in front of a massive crowd. It has actually turned queens birthday into an enjoyable day. Collingwood would probably want it because they know next year it's there home game where I presume crowds will be back. 

    But on the important side of things it's great to see Neale still around, his 6th mnd event he will be part of. Everyone can still support him and his foundation by purchasing a beanie.

    It should be Pert's number 1 goal to negotiate with the AFL to have next year's Queens Birthday and Anzac eve games as our home games next year or else seek compensation. So much of our revenue would be predicated on those two events.

    To miss out in 2020 because of COVID-19, and have Richmond and Collingwood enjoy the home gate spoils in 2019 and 2021 just can't happen in my book.

    As for Collingwood in round 2, it may be a great time to play them as they would have lost a lot of momentum from their excellent round 1 performance.

    On the other hand, we could be 0-2 and holding up the ladder if the Pies are serious and we continue on with GOODW-IN-EFFICIENT football as per 2019 and round 1 2020.

    i think you'll find both dees and the filth are keen on this as the first game of the new season, as it falls in that sweet spot of mid-june when they think they might be able to get up and running again

    however, i can't see how it could possibly make sense - why start the season on a monday arvo, meaning these two sides have a week off the following thurs-sun, presuming that the plan is that matches will only be played in 'normal' timeslots as they have said as recently as yesterday?

    No way in hell should we be missing out on spoils for next year from the Queens Birthday and ANZAZ eve. As has been very smugly reported by Tigers and Pies head honchos they are two of the clubs that had there been no season they would've been ok, so clearly we need it more.

    The worst we should accept is shared spoils from both games next year with us getting the home match the following year.

    Surely your not thinking that  'Edee McSquire',  is a conniving,  manipulative person,  of selfish motives,  are you,  'jb'.?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
