    Personally don't like the day we're playing don't like the Team we're playing, any chance of getting a kick up the backside as we walk through the turnstiles.

    AFL is one huge joke. Near on 4 bottom sides in 21 play Thursday and Friday nights to start 22 and we get the Wednesday. Unbelievable.

    Oh well in any case as being up in Qld I can watch it on Wednesday night. Just trust we get a big crowd and the ratings is better than the Thursday and Friday night games. Only way Channel 7 and AFL will take any notice.

    Thinking positively it will most likely mean 2-3 more blockbuster fixtures for us.

    Thursday night in round 2 and Friday night in round 3?

    I reckon this is brilliant.  I love the fact we are kicking off the season.  I know a Wednesday night is not ideal for some supporters to attend but having the GF replay kick off the season is a great way to start.

    I'm happy to play dogs ...the Afl is obviously recreating a gf atmosphere but it's tough for fans with work the next day. Given that we had to play in another state in our gf , you'd think we would get a break and given a Friday night. Cwood v saints, what a classic that will be.

    As will I. Not missing the flag being unfurled.

    I actually really like the idea that the GF replay kicks off the season. That feels right.

    The real problem is the Thursday night stinker. It’s been a garbage game for years. It also means those 2 teams get TV games for the first 3 weeks of the year - which sucks all the air out of the start of the season for the impartial fan.

    If Richmond hadn’t won 3 flags the AFL would have canned it. Time for it to be buried in the weekend and for Thursday night to by GF replay. Reward the competitive teams.

    The clubs done some fantastic things in the last few years, but letting the AFL walk all over us again is pretty weak!!!

    We just won the Flag & we still let the AFL push us around

    Some things will never change

    Hey Billy,

    Hear your pain, but I suspect there was some horse trading around this one and our fixture will reflect it.

    Family friendly … no !!! Wanted a massive round 1 Friday night fixture for the Dees v Bombers or Cats or even Dogs.  
    Got a Wednesday night. Hmmmm nah yeah nah

    why not the Friday night as Dees v Dogs  ( why Stk v pies on Friday as two underperforming non-2021-finals clubs )

    Western Bulldogs and St Kilda will also hit the road in Round 6 for the ANZAC Appeal Round. 

    Western Bulldogs will host Adelaide Crows at MARS Stadium in Ballarat from 1.45pm on Saturday April, 23, continuing the Dogs’ association with the Ballarat community.

    St Kilda has been given a second Friday night game in the early part of the season when Brett Ratten’s men take on Greater Western Sydney in Canberra in Round 6. 

    The Friday night match will kickstart the ANZAC Appeal Round on April 22 and will also coincide with the return of superstar forward Toby Greene for the Giants.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
