The Herald Sun have just revealed when Grundy and the Dees will play Collingwood, but it's behind a paywall.

Would find it amusing if you signed up and paid to see the article only for the Herald Sun to announce it's the Kings Birthday.

My first thoughts exactly.

    Funny you mentioned that.

    The article says it will be Round 13  with King's Birthday  game on Monday June 12.

    (No, I didn't sign up to pay for that info!)

    Does the article say that we will play them again in the last few rounds?

    Dont be too cynical, they might come up with more groundbreaking news like Collingwood might play Essendon on Anzac Day :)

    Happy just to play them once next year excluding finals.

    Losing to them twice in the one year was soul destroying in front of 50K filth each time. I find Pies supporters as a collective to be far too much to handle when they're up and about. Kind of felt like they willed their team over the line in our round 21 game.

    Yup was a zoo in the Afl both games.

    But a good part of our profit is because 50000 Collingwood paid for tickets at our home game.

    Also think they just as likely to be a poor team next season so playing them twice won't be too bad.

    Can already see our double ups coming against low drawing Vic teams and interstate teams. Some [censored] like Freo, Port, WB, geelong, Brisbane and Sydney

    Can't get behind the paywall but just saw this on HS website:

    Good Friday club dumped for Vic powerhouse

    "The AFL will thrust one of the biggest clubs in the league into the Good Friday limelight in a bid to add some extra spice to the annual public holiday game".

    Any guesses?

    My guess is Essendon for North/Saints.

    Just doesn't seem fair whoever it is being dumped.

    Spoiler Alert 🚨: It’s Carlton

    I was wrong on both clubs.

    Really glad North are still in it.  They lost the Friday nights they pioneered decades ago and it would be inappropriate for them to lose GF now.  They need the leg up.  As for Carlton.  Just as bad as Ess getting the GF gig!

    I think it is Available but geelong don't want to play there until the stands completed, more money more money, that is what fixture is all about.

    We didn't have to travel there in 2017 - only because their stands were being re-developed.

    Oh and in 2020 the AFL were nice enough not to schedule us there (in the revised lock down fixture where nobody could attend the MCG!)

    all these contrived blockbuster clashes got me thinking

    how about this?

    • "The Filth Cup"                      Colliwobbles vs Whorethorn
    • "The Scum Cup"                   Essenscum vs Carlscum
    • "The Gentlemen's Cup"       Melbourne vs Geelong"
    • "The Mariner's Cup"            Port Adelaide vs Flogmantle
    • "The Ex-Pat's Cup"              Sydney vs Brisvegas
    • "The Non-Entities Cup"       GWS vs Gold Coast
    • "The Over-There Cup"         Radelaide vs Meth Coke
    • "The Working Man's Cup"  Footscray vs Norf Melbourne
    • "The Feral's Cup"                Richmond vs St.Kilda 

    make your suggestions

    Hi LH. I think I read earlier in this thread that it’s Adelaide v Carlton, Port v Dogs and one other I can’t quite remember.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
