Prediction 2021 Fixture wishlist

[eth-dog]

Okay, so we're a bottom 6 side officially, and the AFL said during the week that they plan on having a 22 game season next year so that means we get 2 or 3 other bottom 6 sides, 1 or 2 middle 6 sides and 0 or 1 top 6 side to play twice. For me, I'd prefer:

Bottom 6: Hawthorne, Norf, Gold Coast
Middle 6: Melbourne*, Carlton
Top 6: None

*Pending finals etc.

We haven't played Melbourne twice in a year since 2005, so I think it's time to change that if at all possible. I think, given we didn't travel there at all this year, we're likely to get 2 Perth trips next year if the fixture goes back to normal, but who actually knows what'll happen with that? (I don't think it will but I'm not willing to guess either way). If we get the usual 6 away trips:

2x Perth
0x Adelaide
1x Sydney
2x Queensland
1x Tassie (Surely it's time?)

As long as it's not Tuesday at 4

 

[VelvetSledge]

Can we just have Norf for 22 games?

My prediction:

Bottom 6: Hawthorn, North, Sydney
Middle 6: Collingwood, Carlton
Top 6: none

yeah - that was weird - it nearly messed up my bin night

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Some games in Melbourne pls

 

[11kgm]

no games please

 

[freddy mercury]

Can we play ourselves? Love to see us win a few games next year

 

[citizen-erased]

Hawks & North twice seem a given with the "rivalries". Reckon Dees, Crows & Swans will be the others.

Wouldn't mind seeing us head to Tassie for the hawks games...assuming we aren't dealing with hubs again.

 

[JT_the_Man]

I’m guessing that we will play every team at least once.

 

[eth-dog]

I hope we play the Dogs round 1.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Didn't the Australia A cricket team beat (or almost beat) the main Aus team around 20 years ago, leading to the dismantling of the Aus A team? I could certainly see our seconds team being a lot more committed.

Rethink of our three tiers:

Bottom 6: Norf, Hawthorne
Middle 6: Melbourne, Carlton
Top 6: Brisbane

2x Perth (ugh)
1x Queensland
1x Sydney
1x Adelaide
1x Tassie

 

[eth-dog]

Okay, I want:

Round 1: Brisbane away
Round 2: Geelong home
Round 3: West Coast away
Round 4: Port Adelaide home

Anyone disagree?

Wouldn't mind a game or two at the MCG next year

I don’t care where it is as long as I’m allowed to use my reserved seat.

We are never going to Tassie

Expect to go to Sydney twice.

I think we won't with the Canberra game for pre-season. Very rare for a Vic club to have 3 away trips to the same (or similar) place.
