No Wednesday night game in round one is a huge relief for SC.
The season will now start a week earlier, on March 16, to allow the league to slot in 24 home-and-away weeks plus finals
English pop star Sheeran plays in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth across early March in a tour that requires venues to have at least eight days to replace enough turf to return them to an AFL-ready state.
The Herald Sun can reveal Optus Stadium has told the AFL they will not be ready for a round 1 game given they will not have enough time to replace turf and bump out the Sheeran stage to ensure it was safe for AFL footballers.
Sheeran plays a one-off concert at Optus Stadium on Sunday 12 March, which means even a Sunday AFL clash in round 1 would see the venue coming up a day short of that eight-day requirement.
Melbourne’s MCG will replace some turf but given Sheeran plays at the ground on March 2 and 3 their grounds staff will have 13 days to get the ground into AFL shape.
The Herald Sun revealed last month the AFL will do away with last year’s season opener involving the previous year’s Grand Finalists and instead return to a Carlton-Richmond Thursday season opener at the MCG.
Wonder if the byes are changing, there was a bit of chat in the media this year about all teams having the bye at the same time (which seems the obvious thing to do). I guess it would have been in this press release it was happening.

I'm almost 100% certain there won't be a bye 1 week for all clubs if that was the case they wouldn't need to start a week earlier. So just as the AFL always do they don't care about what the supporters or clubs want. I loved it when they had a bye during the year for all clubs and made that week all about grass roots footy.

If they want the Gf on the right weekend they would. Would still need 24 weeks for 23 rounds.
So many things they could do while the AFL is off, they seem obsessed with their media presence though.

Yeah that week is stupid. They should have all the awards that week if they insist on having it.

Gotta love the AFL. NOT. Release the fixtures 6.00am on a Sunday. Coincidence of course that it's the same time as the Socceroos/Argentina kicked off. Can they be more childish and petty than this? Gotta steal the attention. It's all about us, we're the only game in town. So selfish, just pathetic.

It was at half-time, wasn't it? Catching the people who were looking at their phones during the break.

Not necessarily. Worpel and Stephens will roughly cover for Mitchell/O'Meara. Day is supposed to be training with the mids and McKenzie/Weddle may get a taste of it early. Worpel would be of more interest but 300k. If Weddle impresses preseason he looks a lock for D7.

Talk of Docherty playing as a MID this year ?? ......lots of speculation this time of the year though
......lots of speculation this time of the year though
It's December, those spots are still up for grabs. Neither of these guys were cemented best 22 players after many years in the system.

He played as a mid the last 2 H&A games.
75% and 88% CBAs.
121 and 138.
But that was with Hewett and Kennedy both out
Cerra missed r22, and Walsh missed r23 too.

Let's hit the f*ken road!
When do they normally open up the new supercoach lists so we can play with our teams?
There is no way any of you Connor Macdonald propaganda mouthpieces are saying this rubbish with straight faces.
Straight faeces maybe.
Im never picking that campaigner again.
And by never I mean I will probably pick that campaigner again.
Yeah but we have 18 HBF’s so we need to play him elsewhere

You always were highly principled
I’m hoping I can manage a better finish than that paltry 3567 I shat out last season.You always were highly principled
Whitfield and Zorko kept me grounded and reminded me that I’m a s**t SuperCoach.
Blake Drury finished 7th in North's 1.8km shuttle run today.
102k rookie. One to watch.

Surely not getting a game ahead of Wardlaw, Phillips, Cunners, LDU, Powell, and Simpkin? Even as a forward I would have thought Curtis and Sheezel have the small/medium HHF role locked up.
If he's fit and running like that he will get games.
Howe, Shiel, Drury and Turner were all top 7. North's fitness is horrific. It's why we can only play 3 quarters each week. He's 100% on the watch list.

I don’t see Drury getting a mid gig for some time. I think he plays forward this year.
At 185cm, Curtis and Sheezel aren’t exactly small.
I reckon Mahoney might struggle to get a seniors game this year, and Stephenson is too unreliable.
If Drury keeps knocking it out of the park at training, I think he’s got enough points of difference to warrant inclusion.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in a forward lineup of Larkey, Comben, Zurhaar, Curtis, and Sheezel, with TT rotating in and out from further up field.

DT has made 3 of these tweets in the last 24 hours, safe to assume they are about to drop the DPPs for the start of the season.
