R1 REVEALED: Massive Friday night grudge match, Crows' baptism of fire (afl.com.au)

What do they think the crowd capacity would be for these games? quarter, half?

All depends if their are no more COVID-19 outbreaks

Right now half is the expectation, but nothing has been confirmed yet

If they change Good Friday to Dogs Essendon I might spew up

Good Friday Massacre !!!
Dogs pile on 43 unanswered goals !!

 

[Scott Tracy]

Not bad. Not bad at all.

 

[adogsfan5]

Very happy with the fixture.

 

[doggies ftw]

Good opportunity to get off to a flyer, great run home into the finals and double up games again WCE, Port, North, Suns and Melb is a pretty good result. Great opportunity next year let’s not waste it, one finals win absolute minimum result for us

 

[The Inbetweener]

Double up opponents very good.

Would have been nice to get one of Tigers or Cats at Marvel as opposed to their grounds.

only 10 games at Marvel a bit annoying.

but overall pretty positive

Don’t mind playing Tigers @ G.
True test and a chance to play in front of a massive crowd if we get away to a good start.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Double Ups:

• North Melbourne
• West Coast Eagles
• Gold Coast Suns
• Port Adelaide
• Melbourne

Highlights would be the double up on North (should win both), getting Brisbane at Mars, Carlton at home, and in the final stretch of the season we get to have our annual Essendon slaughter and a good test against Port in the final round.

Lowlights are Geelong at GMHBA (auto loss), Tigers at MCG and starting the season against the Pies at the MCG. Can't see us winning any of those.

 

[True Dog]

Top 4 here we come baby!!

 

[NBates]

Are we EVER going to get to play GWS in MELBOURNE????? We only play them once in Canberra AGAIN.

They must be scared little poo poos!

I've got something else on that night so I can't go, but if it was in Melbourne I might have managed it.

We actually have a reasonable Home/Away split against GWS. It's just the away finals that probably make it seem skewed. Also played them at Etihad this year

When do tickets go on sale for Round 6 against the plastics?

With no home crowd?

 

[Selim]

wow we actually play west coast in melbourne? feels like our last 5 have been at that hell optus

 

[TBOW]

Seems like a great fixture on field and a shit one off field.

We'll just have to capitalise commercially by winning the flag.

If they are allowed out. It's probably a canny move by the AFL to make sure they turn up and I'll bet plenty of coaches have mentioned not wanting to go to WA for exactly the reason they didn't this year. Does everyone think 2021 will be better than this year? I admire your optimism. It'll be winter, and we all know what happens in winter. The Wozzies will have to fly east and stay as no other teams will want to risk having to quarantine for 2 weeks if McClown locks the borders repeatedly.

Sorry to be Debby Downer, or even Derek Downer.

 

[Leon]

Looks a reasonably good fixture for mine.

Hopefully COVID continues to stay the **** away in Victoria over the next three months and we can finally attend the games again.

We can win all of those, particularly against the cats who we play after a Bye, which is their Achilles heel.

 

[BLACAE]

Would have loved to play Essenflog twice and really drive home how lucky Dunks was to dodge that bullet.

Can't see us beating Collingwood?

 

[Martyn_30_]

It’s been a long time since the clubs had three home and away mcg games.

Trying to work out who has a tough fixture right now is pointless.
