Good News Everyone - Carlton vs Richmond to be the season opener again in 2023

[Sky]

It’s the two Melbourne based clubs I hate the least. I hope it’s a good game since I already miss footy.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Probably the first time in 42 years it will actually mean something.

Edit Correction:
Carlton and Richmond also played round one in 1983 when both contenders, so make that 40 years since it really had them both to be contenders going into the new season.omg

Long time between drinks

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

More prime time slots for average clubs who don’t deserve it, disgusting.

Alternatively it could've been left for one hit wonders.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

At least this year both clubs are at a similar level.

Top 2?

 

[BF Tiger]

Will be interested to see if the Blues can maintain their winning streak.

Which winning streak is that? Lost the last game they played, and lost the last game they played against Richmond.

Season opener winning streak?

It is boring, when it is the same two teams in the same season opener constantly.

So don't watch it then. Nobody is forcing you to tune in. Just wait another 24 hrs until the next game is played, and watch that instead.

There will have been no footy for 5 or 6 months at that point, so another day won't hurt you.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't watch it anyway. Because it is boring.

Season opener winning streak?

It wasnt the season opener this year?

Basically they beat Richmond once and then lost the one that would have just about sealed a finals spot.

How do you know it will be boring, most Richmond Carlton games are reasonably close, the Grand Final was boring Im pretty sure you would have watched that?

 

[Falcon3518]

Yes it’s true, very popular things are often quite bland.

By the way nothing to do with my team which has finished the last two home and away seasons in first and second place consecutively.

I would be happy to see any two teams which made the eight rewarded for their season, Collingwood Pie v Geelong Cats would be a real treat instead of the most irrelevant team of the last two decades, again.

If Carlton want nice prime time television they should earn it.

We tried that, GF replay this years season opener. You guys couldn’t deliver so we aren’t doing it again. Thanks for being boring former premiers and cooking it. Shame, I liked the GF replay idea.

Grand final preview

 

[dean33]

Love how easy it is to make something a "tradition"

Bit like the showdown yeah?

The fixture where the same two teams open the season a lot of the time is boring. Sometimes I wonder if Richmond posters on here are playing at being dense.

So you find watching a Carlton/Richmond game boring, but presumably you get very excited about discussing it on an internet fan forum, otherwise, why are you posting here?.

Very strange.

This is a discussion forum where people offer their opinions on things about football. Surprise!

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Would neutrals honestly prefer Adelaide and GWS to kick the season off ? Lol

This game will come close to cracking 95 K, the AFL ain't going to turn its back on the golden goose with such massive crowds and TV ratings like the Blues v Tigers season opener.

 

[radiojake]

I must have missed the part where Adelaide v Port Adelaide opens every season

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Both will play Finals, this will be match of the year.

* aiming low, these campaigners will put on an absolute cracker.

 

[Red Bull]

I'd be happy to see Richmond v Blues as the season opener from time to time, just not every year.

I’d be happy to see Hawthorn v Cats
on Easter Monday from time to time, just not every year.

Did you miss the bit you play the power twice a year as well? It’s a tradition now yeah? A 25 year old tradition.

Always seems to be the interstate crew and the cats fans that get the most offended by this fixture… funny stuff.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Great news for Richmond supporters.

Lucky pricks.

Massive step up in class from Carlton’s last outing.

 

[Billy ray]

Will it be 7:50pm?
Will foxtel have their own commentary?
These are the questions i want answered!
