Tassie? Don't think we have played the Hawks at the G since 2012. (Home and away)

Good Friday likely to be between North and either Essendon or Richmond. Because neither of those two already have blockbuster big stage games???
AFL HQ are so f*ckin pathetic. They are permanently under the thumb of Kerry Stokes and Channel 7.
Dogs to host Lions, Crows in Ballarat
http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2018-10-30/dogs-to-host-lions-crows-in-ballarat
The Western Bulldogs will host the Brisbane Lions and the Adelaide Crows as their two Ballarat opponents next season.
The AFL has revealed the Club’s two Mars Stadium matches ahead this Thursday’s official release of the 2019 fixture.
The Dogs will host the Lions in Round 8 on Saturday, May 11 at 1.45pm, and the Crows in Round 23 (the league’s floating fixture, with a date and time yet to be announced).
It will be the first time Brisbane and Adelaide have travelled to Ballarat for an official AFL match, with the Bulldogs having played Port Adelaide (twice) and the Gold Coast Suns in their previous three encounters.
The Club will also play a JLT Community Series match against St Kilda at Mars Stadium on Sunday, March 10.
“We’re excited to continue our partnership with the City of Ballarat and the State Government by hosting two AFL premiership season games in Ballarat in 2019,” said Bulldogs’ CEO Ameet Bains.
“We’ve worked closely with the AFL during their fixture process to ensure our games at Mars Stadium in 2019 are scheduled to best maximise the opportunity for Bulldogs fans and the Ballarat community to enjoy the spectacle.

“It’s pleasing that our first game on May 11 has been confirmed in the earlier time slot, and scheduling our second match in the final game of the home-and-away season will hopefully enhance the opportunity for a large attendance.
“We are also excited about the opportunity to host a pre-season JLT Community Series match at Mars Stadium in March, which will build excitement for the home-and-away season.
“Along with the success of playing AFL games in Ballarat over the last few years, we’re proud of the work we’ve done with our schools, youth leadership and men’s and women’s health programs in the region, which we’re committed to delivering again in 2019.”
The AFL has also locked in the Bulldogs’ Round 1 opponent for the 2019 season – a home fixture against the Sydney Swans at Marvel Stadium on Saturday, March 23.
Not saying this is a bad idea or good idea, but it is very interesting how we are probably the only club who want to play home games at our traditional home ground.Should play at Whitten Oval.

EDIT: I thought you were talking about the season proper not the JLT.
The top two wooden spoon candidates for 2019.
We'd want to be winning both of those games if we're to achieve anything in 2019. Unless of course we are just giving our youngsters a run.
The match last year was scheduled for Round 19, this one is Round 23 which is around a month later. I'm pretty sure the AFL have received the memo not to repeat last years debacle.Wasn't there an issue with late winter darkness at Mars in our match against Port this year? Yet sure enough we're playing there in Round 23 in late August. If the match time is 3.20, then the AFL aren't taking it seriously.

Late August is often just as cold as mid year. But the days have lengthened some what by then. Shortest day is June 21/22.Wasn't there an issue with late winter darkness at Mars in our match against Port this year? Yet sure enough we're playing there in Round 23 in late August.

It definitely proves they have no interest in equality of opportunity for each of the 18 clubs. The AFL is run by a bunch of self interested campaigners, no different to Cricket Australia.Essendon getting Good Friday proves the AFL is biased.

Last few years a really strong rivalry has developed with the Crows. Playing the game in Ballarat makes no sense.So we are giving up 2 games against interstate clubs we actually draw well against to play in a stadium that will hold around 7,000 of our 40,000 plus members around an hour from our home base!!!!!!
And this is supposed to also build local support.
How is this going to be a benefit again?
