Analysis 2020 Fixture - Thoughts and guesses

[Daniels Riches]

Hopefully the AFL just stick to the merger agreement and none of those six games include Geelong, Ballarat or Tasmania, with the latter being absurd that it is even included as a 'Victorian' game.

My dream draw would be to play Norf, Saints, Carlton, Hawthorn, Richmond and Collingwood at the MCG/Marvel.

I'd like 2 cracks at Collingwood and Richmond in 2020, time to bury a couple of hoodoos. It would also give us a minimum of 2 games at the MCG in preparation for finals.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Richmond round 2 at the Gabba please. Really want to finally beat them Nd they have a shocking record after they play Carlton in round 1

They're 2-10-1 the last 13 years after playing Carlton in round 1 (including the round 3 when they played them in round 2, 2013)

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

We have Pies in Round 1 at the Gabba.

Richmond at the Gabba Round 2 is a pipe dream I fear

I just can't see the AFL giving us two home blockbusters in a row to start the season.

Gold Coast down the highway or a SA/WA away assignment more likely for Round 2

I think we have Pies in round 6

Do we know when the 2020 fixture is released? IIRC it's usually not long after the previous season finishes.

Roughly in between trade period and draft... Got to stagger the announcements to keep people interested over the off season...

It's generally in the last few days of October I think.

Usually yes. Was November 1 last year as it got delayed 24 hours due to clubs complaining.

 

[Surly Boy]

Norf at the Gabba round 2 according to the Herald Sun...

 

[Big Sauce 21]

So we can rule out these teams for round 1

Richmond
Carlton
North
Adelaide
Freo
Giants

Why the * would you start the football season in Queensland with a Suns home game? Do they want us so deprived of AFL that we have to buy Suns tickets to satiate (poorly) our appetite after a long drought?

To be fair it swaps every year. One year we get round 1 and they get round 23 then it swaps the next year. Also by us being at home in round 23 we get a nice rest for finals.

Pre-season released.
No Gold Coast this year?
I like it.

Pretty good to get a game against Carlton at Princes Park. That'll bring back some memories.

 

[lioninthesand]

Hawks at the G round 1. You heard it here first.

Wouldn't be surprised if we have another informal scratch match with them.

For Rankine to tear us apart again?

I'm hearing rumours of this as well

I'm hearing rumours of this as well

But you heard it here first?

 

[CarterS]

Fox sports reporting probably Lions v Kangas at Gabba Round 2

Yep it's a thing.

I predict that Collingwood and Richmond will get shafted by the AFL again by only getting 13 games at the MCG
