This will be one of the most epic boys long weekends ever. 
Fly over from Perf and hire a bus.  
Cheap and nasty accommodation in the burbs somewhere. 
Beers. 
Non-stop Footy.

Sounds like a horrible weekend.

It's almost guaranteed that we play them there.

We will most likely play them twice and they won't have a home game against us at the G because we are a small club.

It will also be the usually late in the season game against them because their pub ground is unavailable until round 10.

Only chance of us not going there is if the AFL sends one of essendon or Hawthorn down there.

No chance Hawthorn will be going there despite their projected bottom 4 finish.

Geelong V Hawthorn is locked in for Easter Monday at the MCG. 

Therefore that leaves Collingwood and/or Richmond as the other teams that Geelong will host at the G.

So yeah, the only chance we avoid Kardinia Park is if we play them once, as the home team.

If prices are reasonable, unlikely I know, I might head over for that weekend

It’s during the school holidays. Everything will be outrageously more expensive. 

Clubs get $500k

Players get $200k

Adelaide & Port get an extra home game

Just the bit about there not being enough suitable ovals in the City of Adelaide and therefore the need to schedule some of the games to be played at selected regional venues.

I've heard they're considering Snowtown with the names of the two competing clubs to be drawn from a barrel.

Essendon and Hawthorn wouldn’t know how to find the ground so would have to forfeit

Round 5 for the abracadabra round according to reports and one assumes that Round 1 is now a week early.

Listen to the whinging if a team draws Adelaide or Port.

We haven't heard as to how the additional round impacts the loose formula for top six playing each other twice etc

Also will the AFL "waste" good games on suburban venues and low crowds

Any guesses who will, and who will not?

And since we finished 1 and 5, or 1 and 2, no way we will not play them twice.

You’re probably right.

Given we finished 5th I’d say we’ll play two of Geelong, Sydney, Collingwood, Brisbane and Freo twice.

The AFL will  be keen (if possible) for Grundy and Jackson to face their old sides twice for box office attraction,  so we could avoid Geelong twice on that basis.

This is what bemuses me is why not take this opportunity to say no team gets a home game here. Port and Adelaide play each other on Thursday night to kick off the “monster magic round”, and then the rest of the round plays itself out with zero home ground advantage. 

Instead as you say two teams will feel hard done by with copping Port or Adelaide. 

Again, the single thing that the AFL fail at is fairness.

Single thing Pates! I have a list a metre long. However fairness is high on the list and 90% ties back to pleasing the media. Take the five interchange that is about reducing the look of the game in the last quarter. As players tire their skill level drops. The media don't want  that in the last quarter. So 5 is the go. It will 5 plus a medical substitute in a couple of years time.

Haha very true, I should have said the one thing AFL should be making paramount is fairness and integrity. But it’s one thing they CONSISTENTLY fail at.

On a fairness level, the Showdown should be held that round so that no team is disadvantaged playing against ADL or PtA. But instead, I'm sure they'll try to maximise crowds and have ADL and PtA headlining separate 'blockbuster' double headers, so eg GWS v Freo is the curtain raiser to PtA vs Syd. I guess, as long as they rotate this round each season, the advantages will even out (in theory)?

If Adelaide and Port play interstate teams in this round then the competition becomes even more hopelessly compromised. With the league so even atm it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the ‘magic’ round could be the difference between an Adelaide team making the finals and not. That would be yet another ingenious way for the AFL to lack fairness and integrity. Insane.

Is there going to be a magic round jumper? Or a cup for the team that kicks the highest score. Perhaps double Brownlow points for this round.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
