I think there are two at the 'G. According to the link, we play both Hawthorn and Melbourne there, rounds 13 and 18 respectively.

If this is accurate, then it looks like a solid fixture.

my mistake - i didnt even read the hawthorn location as i assumed we'd be playing them at home - cant recall the last time we had a home game against hawthorn and im assuming theres queensland hawks fans who have missed watching their team for a long time!

That's all good. Shame we don't play in Sydney next year - Manuka is just a bridge too far

this looks like a leaked fixture, with actual match times fixed up to the byes - i think its fairly likely to be accurate

ours looks fairly difficult tbh - double ups against melbourne, fremantle and collingwood from last years top 6

BUT

no match at gmhba

5 matches in melbourne proper - 4 listed at marvel and only 1 (!!!) at MCG

EDIT: 2 at MCG

I think it looks like a pretty good draw to be honest. Melbourne we’ve shown we can beat and will be keen to back that up; Collingwood we always show up against, and Freo I think are due for a slight dip this year. No GMHBA game, No Tassie game, No Ballarat game.

It’s a win for me.

I was happy!

Double ups vs Pies, Freo, Dees, Saints, Gold Coast and crows is good.

Only one game vs Sydney, cats and tigers - all at the Gabba.

6 Melbourne games.

Good fixture!

rye · Dec 10, 2022

my summary:

Double ups - Collingwood, Melbourne, Fremantle, Gold Coast, Adelaide, St Kilda
Played at home - Essendon, Sydney, Geelong, Richmond, West Coast
Played away - Port, Footscray, GWS, Carlton, Hawthorn
Played at neutral venue - North Melbourne
Bye - round 12 (first bye round)

lots of prime time love - many thursday / friday games

It’s too good to be true. No Geelong, Ballarat or Tasmania? I’m a little suss until we get the official.

They have stretched byes over 4 weeks this year. Don't know why it's only 4 teams the week we have ours.

Grasshopper17 · Dec 10, 2022

Not bad. Another Melbourne game or two would have been nice no matter how unlikely (look forward to comparing to how many the other non-Vic teams have).

Also our Collingwood game would have been better at the MCG to give us 3 there. If both teams are going well at the time of that game it's going to look a bit silly at Docklands.

JasRulz63 · Dec 10, 2022

First four weeks will be interesting (before getting a bit softer):
v Port away
v Melbourne home (6 day break)
v Bulldogs away (6 day break)
v Collingwood home (7 day break)

If you had to do back to back 6 day breaks, early in the year would be the preference.

Didn't know the Pies played home games at Docklands ... or is it a home game for us in our Fitzroy alternate identity and Docklands is deemed our Melbourne 'home ground'?

A trip to the Bombers board?
......

Powerhouses Essendon and Hawthorn, along with Greater Western Sydney are the only clubs without a prime timeslot in the first 15 rounds.

The Zac Bailey game was under the roof

I'll update the original post with our full fixture over the next day or so with a bit of a deeper analysis.

Not sure there are any, since the Hodge family converted to Lions supporters.

Fixture normally infuriates me. But I have to say there’s really not a lot to complain about. Six prime time night slots, no stumping up games in ballarat and Tasmania, a couple of mcg games, and most heart warming - a fair number of games for Victorian fans.
Tough opening 4 rounds and then it opens up a bit.

Dalions · Dec 10, 2022

Tough opening but Not too bad a fixture all up.

Sausages · Dec 10, 2022

Rounds 13-16 will decide our fate.

With Geelong, Richmond and Melbourne in the final weeks. We'll get more Thursday and Fridays as well.

trikster · Dec 10, 2022

Very challenging but fair and reasonable fixture for a highly ranked team.
