Obviously we have our bunnies in round 1 and an away Qclash in round 6.

Dreaming of a great draw for Victorian fans and when ut Released myself and many others will no doubt have our dreams crushed.

Fingers crossed everyone in Victoria for at least 6 decent games...

and not Geelong, Ballarat, Tassie and 1-2 sold games by other Melb clubs
Actually if no lockdowns I go to both Geelong and The Rat for a day trip

Buggered if I understand that 4:10 time-slot at Metricon - the late afternoon sun makes spectator and player visibility looking into the sun dreadful. If they delayed the start until 5:10 the problem is fixed.

Yeah that timeslot is dreadful. Game is basically unwatchable for the first quarter.

[BRAB]

Melbourne, Essendon, GWS, Saints Suns twice.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Only the 4 Melbourne games and 1 at Geelong. That's a shame, but not unexpected at this point.

2 games at the MCG - Demons and Richmond. Those will be big. Melbourne at home to finish the season is exciting too.

 

[DevRoboGun]

Melbourne, Essendon, GWS, Suns twice.

it could have been worse…

 

[BRAB]

We've got a nicer run of games to start the season this year.

 

[Back2Back2Back]

Dees at the MCG would be a good one to get to. Same with the Tiggers.

Round 9 and 10 will be tough, Crows in Adelaide followed by Hawks in Tassie, one week to recover at home and then off to Perth in Rd 12. Honestly I see this as going to be a bit of a rough middle of the season if we don't get ourselves settled earlier than previously.

 

[almagoo]

Melbourne, Essendon, GWS, Saints Suns twice.

And St Kilda.

 

[Dalions]

 

[BRAB]

And St Kilda.

Given we finished top 4 again I think it's a pretty kind draw.

Saints, Essendon and GWS should be that rung below again, Suns are the Suns and I think we'd have wanted two cracks at Melbourne before the end of next season.

 

[The Zork]

4…

 

[royboys4eva]

Melbourne supporters ( Fitzroy fans) completely bent over again. Four matches !! Geelong is limited seats and extra cost. Hardly a great option for Lions fans. The merger agreement isn't worth the paper it was written on.

 

[ZoBlitz]

By my calculations and ignoring the last two years, only the second time in merger history that we've only been scheduled four games in Melbourne, 2013 being the other year.

 

[Hirsty23]

4 bloody games honestly

 

[Roylion]

Four Melbourne based games only. Plus Geelong. I have little doubt the AFL counts the game in Tasmania against Hawthorn as a "Victorian" game.

 

[Dalions]

Hard to see us losing a game really.

 

[BRAB]

It is really poor timing for our Victorian fans. The AFL is sort of marketing this season as a "get back to the footy" season for Victoria

It’s sad when Fremantle gets 6 plus 1 (Geelong)

how does that happen?
