2021 Fixture Discussion

[Oprah From Tigerland]

CCJ back for ANZAC eve

That being said, what are the chances this fixture actually happens?

Waiting for the 6 of the first 8 and 5 of the last 7 at the G outrage.

Playing Geelong at their home ground twice is tough. I see they've been given their usual free ride.

 

[Hans Klopek]

This stat is astonishing. Adelaide Oval has only been in existence since 2014. Obviously we have been playing Port since 1997 with the MCG as our home ground. How is it possible we have already played Port in more home and away games at Adelaide Oval (2014-?) than the MCG (1997-?)? Out of 34 total games only 10 in Melbourne. That's 23 games in Adelaide in 24 years (2 were finals of course).

Pretty good result if you ask me, Two afternoon matches in actual daylight?? AFLs gone mad. 5 games in Melbourne and 4 at the MCG. Plus a rematch with angry mob at Port. I like it.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

lets hope all these games happen as planned, with fans

Port Eagles and Geelong have much easier than us on double ups

 

[Foley#41]

Haha Essendon playing a game in Geelong (round 16) for the first time since 1993.
To put that in perspective, Fitzroy played a game there more recently!

surely we arent unveiling the flags against carlspoon away ?

would be the pies game i hope

 

[VB_longneck]

disappointed no double up against coll

easy wins

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

So we have double ups against 4 of the 5 teams that beat us in 2020 plus Geelong. And away games against Brisbane, Port, West Coast and GWS?

I look forward to this being retrospectively labelled an easy draw.

Anyway, we’ve got a nice first month but then it gets tough until the midway point of the season. If we’re in touch with the 8 after round 10 we’ll power home. Let’s just hope we don’t start slow like usual.

Most likely a few games involving WA will change I reckon. There will be minor outbreaks, nothing to the scale of Vic's 2nd wave though. They might close borders but leave an exemption in place for the AFL - which is how the season started this year, it took until about 50 cases/day for QLD to revoke it.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

This is the 3rd time in 4 years we have the easiest draw out of all the teams we play everyone that finished beneath us the year before some of them twice.
3 peat here we come

Pies already get to watch another team lift the cup once every few years, let the blues have a look. It’s the closest they’ll get for a while.
