Clearly we’re not alternating round 1 home games anymore, instead we’re alternating who plays Melbourne round 1!

Not many teams make finals if they are 0-2.
Massive game.
Melbourne and Fremantle will be in the mix for the bottom half of the 8.
that sucks. Guess I’m getting up at 3am then.

This is actually such crap.
Blatant favouritism once again.

I really don't see the problem. We still get 12 games at OO.
If we are serious about finals then starting with the Dees at the G shouldn't be a big deal. Even if it was the Tigers, it still isn't. In fact probably the best time to play them.

Totally agree, I’d much prefer to have our first game away and Melbourne is a pretty good team for us to face.

The more games at the G the better. No problem with R1 in Melbourne.

Good, get a vic game out of the way early when the weather should still be good.
A win on the road very achievable here, beat them last time we played them.

That's disappointing that the arrangement of alternating Round 1 home games goes out the window so easily. Hard not to take it personally when we made a very good case to get the first Optus home game and to be denied on that principle only to discarded so soon.

Probably because we got the home derby this year which was supposed to be WCE.

Still seems a rather unfair trade off but at least there's a decent rationale behind it I guess.
All depends on whether we get the last home game (which we should)

Eh, who cares about not getting a home game Rd 1. If we want to pay finals, it makes no difference where we play our first game.

Who are we playing round 2 that makes you so pessimistic of a 0-2 start?

I couldn't access that article due to the paywall, but I would be willing to blindly bet ten dollars of my hard-earned money, that West Coast are playing at Optus Oval on the Sunday.

I don’t know.
Not being pessimistic.
My point it’s a big game away.
If we end up winning it set our season up, if we lose that’s not the end of world.
If we play a Richmond at home, then it’s a must win as historically teams 0-2 don’t make the finals.

That has to be the worst rd 1 fixture the AFL has ever come out with , there’s only a couple of 50/50 games and the rest blow outs!
