It's odd, why would they want that when they've already got Queens Birthday with Melbourne?Well Collingwood has requested to play Melbourne in round 1 so maybe it has been ditched for the meantime.

Maybe the AFL can send Collingwood interstate for Round 1 if they keep changing their minds?
Ah well. Probably a home Sunday twilight gig for them against us now. Can't just pick and choose new prime time games for when it suits them.Collingwood ditched you !!
Still don't like them changing their minds like that, though. Dogs v Collingwood should be given another 2-3 years at least to see how it goes.This is from an article in the HS.
COLLINGWOOD has requested a Round 1 blockbuster against Melbourne in a move that would allow the Demons to retain hosting rights for the Queen’s Birthday match next year. The Magpies considered reclaiming hosting rights for the Queens’s Birthday Monday blockbuster but will instead seek a Round 1 battle against Melbourne as part of a gate-sharing agreement, similar to the Anzac Day deal with Essendon.
Found this on Youtube, fixture seems legit for Collingwood fans
I think Collingwood may have changed their mind due to the Dogs dropping down the ladder this year. If the Dogs featured deep into finals this year I think Collingwood would've been more inclined to request playing you guys again in round 1. Since 2015, we've played Collingwood twice in a season so I'm expecting that to continue for quite a few years.Still don't like them changing their minds like that, though.

Do Melbourne and Collingwood have to play each other twice every year?

Collingwood aren't in a position to dictate here I would've thought.I think Collingwood may have changed their mind due to the Dogs dropping down the ladder this year.

A team loses the GF every year. If your team didn't then you can be very sure they were better than yours. Some respect is called forAnd if the other can't contribute to deliver an exciting game when it matters most, then why should they be further rewarded.
It's one thing to lose, but it's another thing to be humiliated, especially when they finished on top at the end of the home and away season.
Can I just say this is very well thought out and shares a lot of what I think will be there. Good job. My fixture is a bit different, though.fixture
I have a feeling this game will be on Friday Night. Richmond have played Collingwood in round 2 for the past two years so if that goes ahead again then I think the AFL will schedule the Collingwood v Melbourne game on friday night with the Richmond v Carlton game on Thursday night.Sunday (D) - Collingwood vs Melbourne (MCG)
Collingwood and Melbourne have apparently requested this, and, with the fuel of last years Round 23 debacle, should draw a lot of interest. Seems like a perfect Channel 7 Victorian Sunday game to me.

Wouldn't say I loved opening the season with you guys a few years backRichmond simply love facing Carlton on a Thursday night and vice versa.

But yeah I reckon keep it as it is. Great way to kick it off against an old school rival in front of 90k+ fans at the G. I'm sure Gil's pockets wouldn't mind it either.
Probably ditched. Round 1 is sometimes Easter, and there's the Good Friday game now.Pretty sure both clubs were looking to make the dogs v Collingwood a permanent round 1 fixture. Or has that been ditched now?
WTF bring it on. Wouldn't be upset if it was at Manuka but we started at AO this year. Might as well.Geelong vs GWS at Kardinia Park - the two prelim losers to open their seasons against each other in a big clash.
A round one Sydney Showdown could be an option too. I think the AFL will land the Giants a blockbuster round one clash againWTF bring it on. Wouldn't be upset if it was at Manuka but we started at AO this year. Might as well.
I know Essendon have requested it. I think it would have to be our home game as it is Geelong's turn to host Easter Monday which will be round 2.Pretty sure the Bombers have requested the Hawks in round 1
Would work for me. Have to be the SCG. I dont like the ground but we have to do the right thing for the Swans once a year.It's really bad to get to and always full of Swans fans.A round one Sydney Showdown could be an option too. I think the AFL will land the Giants a blockbuster round one clash again
