Reckon we're a monty to get the Dees or Dogs first up.

Will be a Victorian club for sure.

AFL gunna try and manufacture as many Big Games as possible.

Dees 4.40PM on the Sunday at Docklands.

Works perfectly for me.

 

[Steamin Beamin]

Since SA and WA teams are in Queensland, might as well let them and NSW teams play round robin for 7 weeks, while we in VIC do the same thing.
That should last until Aug, in which hopefully the country will be open for interstate travel.

l'm tipping we will play the Dogs. The Afl will try and stop us winning 2 in a row and Dogs play against us better than the Dees. BTW wouldn't mind Carlton next...

Would be happy with Carlton.

They’ll need to give us a better opponent than Footscray if they want to stop us going 2-0.

The only team unhappy to get Carlton would be *

If we play Melbourne, I expect it would be their home game at the MCG, given they played away in round 1 and we played at home.

Pies v Tigers
Cats v Hawks
* v Blues
Dog/Dees v Saints

Would be my guess, if the AFL wants to start with the biggest match ups.

Yeah, but do they want to shoot all their big Vic match ups in one round? Given there's no double ups?

Can see us getting sent down to Methamphetaminefuelledsexwithyourcousininacaravaninthefrontyard Stadium to play the Catsies.

Who knows. They might care less about blockbuster fatigue in round 2 with so many big matches, and care more about ratings / eyeballs given the long layoff.

If they don't want to so many big games in round 2, then it means we could play any of Cats, Dogs, Hawks, Dees, Blues, *.

Yep, agreed.

Are they actually playing games at GMHBA do we know? The travel down my be a on-no.

Hasn't Eddie offered for Collingwood vs Melbourne to start the year - the Neale Daniher game? Purely magnanimous gesture, of course.

Hope it is Bulldogs for us first up, they are no big fans of the physical style, whereas we thrive on it, please make it so.

 

[Horizons_00]

The footy quality will probably be atrocious haha

Saving a lot jobs and money bringing it back though

The first uncompromised fixture since there was 12 teams and 22 matches.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Yep, agreed.

Dunno. But I'd think there probably isn't much difference (from a virus perspective) with Geelong players traveling up to Melbourne, or Melbourne based players traveling down to Geelong. So on that basis, I reckon they'd probably get their home games down there.

 

[Devington]

They’ll need to give us a better opponent than Footscray if they want to stop us going 2-0.

As much as I'd like to agree with this, I don't think ANYONE has any idea what type of form clubs, let alone specific players, will return in.

This is legitimately going to be the most bewildering round two ever.

 

[winalotroos]

I don’t care who we play ( within reason) I am hanging out to see new footy bring the s**t on.

 

[Hazey1977]

Sounds like my days of trying to get a team together for the social league 5 hours before the game...

..... At 4am in a London nightclub!

Still compromised.

You may play every team once. But some get home ground advantage.

If we all played each other twice, once home and once away, it would be uncompromised.
