RICHMOND will lobby the AFL next week to schedule two matches against Collingwood next season, including the season opener at the MCG.
Tigers president Gary March said last night it was time the clubs, who had a falling out over gate receipts in 2004, again clashed twice a year.
March said the plan was again to split gate receipts, as the Tigers would do in their two matches against Essendon this year.
"We are both very big drawing clubs at the MCG, we would like to go back to playing Collingwood twice a year," March said.
"We would also like to play our big arch rivals Carlton and Essendon twice a year."
The Magpies and Tigers last met twice in 2004, including the season opener.
As revealed in Saturday's Herald Sun, the Tigers will also ask for nine home matches at the MCG next season, up from seven this year.
The Tigers met the AFL Commission and executive yesterday and addressed several issues, including providing clubs with a better overall financial return from their home-ground deals.
The AFL was happy the Tigers expect to post a $350,000 profit this season, the second straight year the club will be in the black.
"Today was about us presenting where the Richmond Football Club is at, from where we came from two of three years ago," March said.
"Obviously we are travelling a lot better now, heading towards another profitable year. There seems to be a much better level of confidence in"
