What they'll want: As part of the planned celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of their ninth AFL/VFL premiership in 1968 when they defeated Essendon by three points, the Blues have asked to host the Bombers at the MCG early in the season. Carlton is keen to play a key role in Multicultural Round and has requested a slot that works for the AFL. In round one the Blues will open their season with the traditional clash against arch rival Richmond at the MCG.

The game the fans will be looking for: Any encounter with Essendon always sets the pulses racing among the Blues' faithful and next year's game celebrating the 1968 premiership will be no exception. - Howard Kotton

Going to be a laugh when Carlton fans outnumber North down in Tassie. [emoji41]

Would probably outnumber the Roos fans if was played at Arden Street. There seems to be a few Roos jumping of the (sinking) boat

Looks like we get 4 Friday night games.


Rnd 23 - Carl v Adelaide at Etihad. At least it's not interstate.

 

[walshy93]

Are we seriously playing more home games at Etihad than the MCG this year? What ON EARTH happened to slowing phasing that dump out?!

SIX at Etihad and five at the MCG. Not happy.

That it will be, really smart move to build a stadium next to the river. It's cold at night here even at the best of times.

 

[Aphrodite]

6 interstate games.

 

[walshy93]

No game at the MCG (home or away) after June 30.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Ummm, at first glance our fixture looks ridiculously kind...

Am I missing something here?

Play Gold Coast, Bulldogs, Fremantle, Collingwood and Adelaide twice.

 

[kingkingston]

We got a great fixture

It's been like that since last year with the 6/5 split.

Contract with Etihad was renegotiated.

[Blue Razor]

do we only play Richmond, Melbounre and Essendon once?
thats a hit to bottom line.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Nice to see we don't have any Sunday 4:40's.

Many more prime time slots than 2017 too.

Not bad.

 

[kingkingston]

only 6 Sunday games is nice and no twilight Sunday games at all

Lethlean ain't here yet, unfortunately.

 

[kingkingston]

6 of the home games are against teams from outside Victoria

 

[TBellicious]

3 home games at the MCG is a disgrace.

Why the **** are we playing so many at Etihad??

I’m filthy

Where are you getting 3 from!

Carl v Coll
Carl v WC
Carl v Ess*
Carl v Melb
Carl v Port

 

[TBellicious]

Still, we should not be playing more at Etihad.

Yep. We got totalled screwed.

We play at the MCG 7 times, 5 home games. Collingwood, Essendon, Melbourne, West Coast & Port.

 

[walshy93]

6 home games at Etihad and 5 at the MCG.

Mate we played six home games at the MCG last year and five at Etihad.

MCG: Richmond, Essendon and Sydney earlier in the year, and then Adelaide, Melbourne and the Dogs all in a row. Six.
Etihad: GC, North, GWS, Geelong and Hawthorn. Five.

This year, despite stating out intentions to play more at the 'G, we've been shafted with six at Etihad and five at the 'G.
