2020 Fixture Predictions

[Senor M]

I'm not sure if it's already been mentioned but I could imagine that Round 6 will become the "Sir Doug Nicholls" Round and that some of the traditional games from that round will be played then--- attach it to NAIDOC week.

So lock in Essendon vs tigers round 6?

So lock in Essendon vs tigers round 6?

Especially with what’s been happening in the world at the moment—- the AFL will want to focus on their Indigenous Round & inclusiveness as soon as possible

 

[WWSD]

The next four weeks is going to be a tough stretch for Hawthorn. The fixture should be based on ladder position from the previous year!!!

Good news I guess is the Hawks will have 6-7 home games at the MCG to come.

as i posted elsewhere -​

WA hard border likely to remain until 19 july​

Mark McGowan.... indicated the hard border with the east would remain in place until at least the end of the July school holidays.

​

Soooo, that wold mean Monday 20 July would be reopening.

​

round 5 (last one released) finishes on Sunday 5 July.

Soooo, there are two weekends there where either the hub remains open for two more weekends

or

the WA teams return home, have a bye, and then play a derby on the weekend of the 18/19 July (or the other way around, return and have derby on 11/12 july, then a bye)​

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

They could play away games on the second weekend.

 

[Freomaniac]

So they just stay in Gold Coast for an extra 2 weeks

Or play some away games in Melbourne or Sydney

 

[The Nostradamus]

Or play some away games in Melbourne or Sydney

Yep that too but if given the choice I assume they’d rather stay in their hub then move to a new hub

Not if extra hub games are home games meaning less home games in perth in second half of season

 

[The Nostradamus]

So fixture from memory for next 2 round due to release next monday

for vic teams only stkilda will have not travelled out of vic this entire first 5 rounds

lock saints in for an interstate trip WA if games there or GC

 

[Coaster2012]

81 active cases in Victoria now. that hub in Perth is looking more and more likely. Victoria isn't getting crowds anytime soon.

They are saying that they may only release the fixture for round 6 next week, in order to figure out what to do next.

Chances are we remain in QLD for round 6, and in that case we will play Adelaide (not sure whose home game).

It would have to be West Coast's home game. Port Adelaide (v West coast), adelaide (v fremantle) and Fremantle (v Port Adelaide) have already given up a home game vs the other hub teams.

So have we (Round 5 v Richmond).

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

If the WA teams can’t return home for that week then we’ll probably be giving up a home game to host someone at Metricon. Unless they send Freo south to play an away game in Melbourne or Sydney.

The reporting is a bit all over the shop.

There was a report the we will play Adelaide in the hub.

Another that said we will be forced to travel interstate.

 

[Billy ray]

I hope the suns play another attractive game on sunday and we get our first ever friday night game in rounds 6-9

 

[Walshawk]

Another week in the hub then Derby in round 7.
Then two Vic clubs fly over for 8 days. One plays Freo, the other WC the. They swap the next week.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Eagles and Dockers players have permission to isolate at home on their return from Queensland. This combined with Optus being allowed to have 60,000 from July 18 probably means that they’ll stay in the hub for one more week, come back to WA and play a derby as soon as they can get a full stadium for it.

What’s the rules in SA for the next month or so?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

So who’s going where in this Vexit?

Carlton - NSW
Collingwood - WA
Essendon - ?
Geelong - WA
Hawthorn - NSW
Melbourne - ?
North - ?
Richmond - ?
Saints - Qld
Bulldogs - WA

Need one more for WA, I would’ve thought Carlton was the obvious one as they haven’t played any of the teams currently coming here but they’re reportedly off to NSW.

Might be some movement between NSW and Qld with teams crossing the Tweed after they’ve been out of Victoria long enough

Saints and one other side heading to Noosa

 

[Atomboy]

Saints and one other side heading to Noosa

Bummer, I was hoping we would get over to Perth.

Some sizeable Saints contingent there.

 

[The Nostradamus]

So what are we expecting for round 8 and 9?

Would assume that gets announced today or tomorrow as it’s 2 weeks away

For north I’m expecting gc and Carlton in our hub
