Opening round is a pile of shit
You’d be happy then that those clubs have not opened a season in some time?

Yes the 5 games have been released
Teams love playing Pies at the MCG because they get the gate. St Kilda asked for this match, and always asks for Collingwood at the MCG.

I already hate it. We have St Kilda on the night after the Grand Prix and the WA/SA teams get none in Round 0
Also Perth Stadium will be unavailable in Round 1 due to the AFC Women's Asian Cup

God not this s*** again! Thought we told the AFL to gagf and that we had no interest in being a part of OR again...
Gotta be close to the worst fixturing idea they've ever had.

Thanks for confirming. So it is up to five games now. Might as well go all nine and call it round one instead of zero.
I don't care if they call it Round O, or Round 0, but have every team involved. Have every interstate team host, except one game in Melbourne.
Simple as.

A West Coast supporter would probably hope that happens for 23 weeks.
I find the early bye just as annoying when you play in Opening Round

Agree 100% the early bye is a real momentum killer.
Opening round screws up the first half of the season.
Just let all teams play

Or a swarm of locusts.
You took Collingwood spot to travel to the SCG since they sooked it up about having to travel.
Collingwood has a contractual agreement to play 14 games at the MCG every season: 9 home and 5 away.
This will be one of the 5 away games, it will be no different to any other year.
On the flipside the Pies play 2 home games at Marvel every year, one of which must be against another Victorian team. In practice this is always a Marvel tenant (WB, NM or StK).
That is absurd. Fair enough a club decides where to play their home games. But why should a team get to dictate where some of their away games are held? Those away games are the home games of other clubs.
