******* great. We match up pretty well against the Weegs - looked competitive even this last season when we were otherwise shite. Throw in general round one unpredictable results plus the s**t teams having a bit of preseason head start on finals teams. Sure. I’m chalking up a win right now.

Our only Friday night game of the year will of course be in Round 2 ... 5 day break coming back from Perth ...




Only kidding ... no way will we get a Friday night game!

Perfect. I’ll cook a lasagne if it is unseasonably cold that day, or some seafoody thing if it isn’t. I’ll watch the match drinking beers. I’ll drink more after to celebrate our win. I’ll book the following day as recovery leave right away (always looks sus in footy season to phone in with a ‘virus’ on a Monday morning)

So 1-0 after round 1

And the rest is a foregone conclusion.

We will be on a fearsome, winning roll by round 2. 5 days won’t stop us. Bookmark it!

Why sad? We won't lose another game all year.

And the rest is a foregone conclusion.

Set right in stone since 64'

Happy with this. Gets the Perth trip out of the way and we won’t be expected to win. If we do win it could set up our season

I continue to find this bizarre and unfair. It's basically a Crows home game. Surely the last 2 teams we'd want to play there are the Adelaide teams. I'd rather play another Melb team like Bulldogs or Saints where we'd have more of an advantage..

And I’m sure the melbourne teams are falling over themselves requesting that fixture.

MFC doesn’t dictate the fixture. AFL does. Also I don’t mind it that much. Last time we played Adelaide in Alice we embarrassed them.

There'd be about 6 people at the ground if we played the Saints there. No chance of happening.

The pessimistic me says straight to the bottom of the ladder after round 1 next year.

Don't worry about it. It's our default settings.

Short of playing a big Victorian club at the 'G this is more or less the best possible R1 fixture possible. More compelling than playing at Etihad or an interstate club at the MCG, and WCE are a serious opponent with solid recent success who we match up on. Statement game if we win but won't be doom and gloom if we lose (unless we get thrashed, which based on our 2019 formline is actually pretty unlikely).

Last game of the home and away. Norf at Blundstone.

Pretty good if you go off 2019 form though.

Friday night at the Gabba is pretty cool

 

[harry000]

Love the 6 day break coming back from Perth to play GWS round 2. Thanks AFL.

 

[pjfairbairn]

Play twice: Adelaide, St Kilda, Gold Coast, Collingwood, Freo. Happy with that.

Only one night home game sucks. Hopefully the Friday night against the Hawks is the replacement game.

Tbh I’d rather a 6 day break after round 1 than round 20. Very happy with our fixture, couldn’t get much easier than that.

 

[PerfectFooty]

AFL sure like sending us to Tassie to face north melbourne of late
