Fremantle better not get another Sunday game to open the season. Saturday arvo or night would be good.

Freemantle will get a lot of sunday 3.20 games (5.20 eastern). Get used to it.

 

[cogs2hawks]

Round 1 fixture to be released earlier than the whole fixture again. The round 1 fixture from what I heard will be released on Saturday, 26 October.

 

[HTPunter]

Port, Sydney, West Coast, Gold Coast should get home games because don't they usually rotate which one plays home?

As will Richmond due to Carlton being the home team in 2019.

Thursday
Richmond v Carlton (MCG)

Friday
Hawthorn v Essendon (MCG)

Saturday
Early - North Melbourne v Brisbane (Docklands)
Afternoon - Sydney v Melbourne (SCG)
Night - Gold Coast v Fremantle (Metricon)
Night - Port Adelaide v St Kilda (AO)

Sunday
Early - Western Bulldogs v GWS (Docklands)
Afternoon - Collingwood v Adelaide (MCG)
Twilight - West Coast v Geelong (PS)

 

[cogs2hawks]

Perth rotate every year
Adelaide rotate every year
Sydney rotate every 3 years
Ever since 2012 the team to host round 1 in Queensland has been:
2012-GC
2013-GC
2014-GC
2015-BL
2016-GC
2017-GC
2018-GC
2019-BL
If this pattern continues GC will host again.
The teams to host round 1 will be:
West Coast
Port Adelaide
GWS
Gold Coast

 

[GSHOCKZZ]

Bet they will

I don't think they'll get a run like they did this year.

 

[MadMundy]

Freemantle will get a lot of sunday 3.20 games (5.20 eastern). Get used to it.

Yeah I know they will, it's still stupid though. It's one of the worst timeslots of the season. Saturday afternoons would work so much better for our supporters. Hopefully we get some Saturday night games though like we did this season.

 

[Lsta062]

I think they’ll give us Carlton in Round 1 and Collingwood in Round 2 followed by GWS at the MCG in Round 3.

Round 1
Thursday: Richmond v Carlton

Round 2
Thursday: Collingwood vs Richmond

Round 3
Saturday night: Richmond vs GWS (Grand Final rematch)

Our fixtures are fairly static early on so this is what I am expecting.

As for the topic of this thread, all the away non-Victorian sides that share a ground would be scheduled to host I imagine.

[wcegls]

westcoast to have their last 7 in a row at Optus

 

[Giant Pete]

You missed GWS vs Horsham West U13's, the AFL has to give them a chance where they can score more than 3 goals

Just put us against your mob then. Make sure your coach doesn’t sook it up too much though.

Excellent response, did the AFL write that for you or was it one of your fellow call centre operators? So how is the weather in Manila today?

I know GWS's Grand Final performance was rubbish but it's a bit harsh not to even give them a game in the first round don't you think? lol

[MitchellMc8]

Thursday March 19

Saturday March 21
North Melbourne vs. Fremantle, Hobart, 1:45pm (FOX)	New coach v New coach
GWS Giants vs. Brisbane Lions, GIANTS, 4:45pm (FOX)	Semi-Final rematch
Geelong Cats vs. West Coast Eagles, GMHBA, 7:20pm (CH7/FOX)	Kelly vs. Cats
Gold Coast Suns vs. Melbourne, Metricon, 7:40pm (FOX)	Bottom of the table clash
Sunday March 22

I like it. But they won't waste a showdown on Rnd 1.

Maybe....
Western Bulldogs vs Port
Adelaide vs Saints
