I'd they can manufacture a bye for the Suns and Port after the China game, surely they can do the same for us after ANZAC day...

With the Tigas v Dees ANZAC eve game now likely to become a regular fixture that gives them a pool of 4 teams that should be scheduled to play each other the round before and the round after the ANZAC day game which should make it easier. ANZAC day a Wednesday in 2018 I think so Thursday & Friday games leading into it, Sunday games the other side.

 

[jackcass]

Hopefully doubles against

Carlton, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Hawthorn and West Coast

Most of our doubles should come from the teams that finished 14th - 18th given the 3x tier system. Would/should make Freo, North, Carlton, GCS and Bears the most likely.

 

[jackcass]

The Lions up there is 50/50

Carlton flogged us last time.
And playing the premiers twice will be tough.

No tougher than playing the teams that finished 2nd & 3rd after the 2016 H&A season twice was this year.

 

[jackcass]

So apparently we are getting Brisbane, Carlton, Freo, Richmond and Essendon twice

Bears, Blues and Freo from our pool of 6 so that's 3 of 5. Could be better, could be worse.

I saw it on a Facebook page “the afl update”
Looks like someone leaked it out if it’s true.

So it looks like playing Melbourne twice a year like we have for a couple of years is going to be a permanent thing?

My personal requests. No Etihad games against Etihad tenants. Minimal Sunday games.

Edit- I guess the annual Pies Dogs Rd 1 clash that was proposed last year isn't going to become a thing

Yes, in fact no PIES HOME games at Etihad full stop, if we are to play there it must be as an away game (so unlike your request we will play an Etihad tenant but they host it).

Dunno if this is the right thread.

With the 2018 fixture to be released tomorrow, The Herald Sun can reveal the Magpies will only play two teams from this year’s top 12 twice — Richmond and Essendon — and have struck gold with double-ups against stragglers Carlton, Brisbane Lions and Fremantle.

Richmond seems to get a great draw which is amazing,GWS wow compared to Richmond.
But it is what is if only every team could play each other twice we would have a somewhat level format.
And if we keep Anzac Day why not a bye for both clubs after that game?

Guess the HS is late learning about the 6/6/6 fixture structure

Having moved to the Sunshine Coast all I'm asking is that we play Brisbane at the Gabba. Went to the GC game this year and not keen for that again - utterly Mickey Mouse operation.

I will only hope to play at Etihad it the bulldogs, north or saints host...... no home games should play all our home games at the mcg

So, ^ this was on the money.
3 games at ES - annoyingly, still one is our home game against a tenant club (WB).
4 interstate games spread out.
Anzac game period is challenging as usual, but not too many excuses for doing better.

How do Carlton get more Friday nights than us? The last time they got this many they nearly killed Friday night football
