It's a dream but no Etihad home games would be nice.

Otherwise:

- more even spread of games. Pies fixture in 2016 was loaded with home games before the bye and very few after it.
- Swans in Melbourne. Preferably not with a return fixture (again dreaming, I know).
- more VFL-AFL double header opportunities
- A couple more Friday night games would be good.
- minimal Sunday 3:20s. s**t timeslot.

It definitely has been a while since we've played your mob over there. Thursday night would be great, although restricts us doggies fans coming over to watch. Would be great atmosphere

Round 4, 2013. Stringer and Macrae made their debuts together, it rained and we got flogged :oops:

Essendon's is straight forward.

Round 1 game at the MCG as a home game.
Host Fremantle and Adelaide in Melbourne, but, play Brisbane in Brisbane.

Ding, ding, ding! What do we have for him, Johnny?

Seriously though, they are very modest requests that have been consistently ignored for years now for some reason.

Id actually like the AFL to ditch the horrible 3:20pm time slot, change the times a bit.
have the sunday games:
1:10(est)
2:20pm(est)
4:10pm (est)

I don't care if channel 7 want to go straight to the news after a game.
 
A fair and even fixture.
No handicapping of teams.
No teams to play other teams off a bye.
Breaks to be matched as much as physically possible. ie. teams off a 7 day break to play each other etc.

2-3 Friday night games (Good Friday)
No games in Cairns
Hopefully an away game to either Hawthorn or North in Tasmania, purely so I can have a holiday there :D

Another request.... have a spilt round for the byes.. 4 games one week 5 the next or have a stand alone game like they used to do with the swans v pies.
Dragging the byes out suck!!
 
WCE in Melb.
Reduced 6 day breaks. Can't have the most again in 2017.
Dee's twice
Tigers in Tassie

After the last one it was made clear that it's not going to happen. Richmond wanted to, North and/or the AFL didn't like the 'away' team getting more support than the 'home' team...It upsets their dreams of building North up down there.


As for Richmond's wants.
Dreamtime
Season opener
All games at MCG (we keep asking for that, but the real hope is 'as few as possible at Docklands').

Add in the 'standard' requests all teams would have about breaks, some good timeslots (Friday nights, etc) and the like, and that'd be it.
 
If the popular Friday night games go to better performing teams, then conversely balance out the Sunday 4.40's to the cellar dwellers.

They do that....You just need to remember that for the AFL/Ch7 'better performing' has at least as much to do with pulling a crowd/ratings as it does wins and losses.

A decent opener for once, maybe against the doggies
Reward teams based on success rather then the fact they are "big clubs"

thats about it
