News Geelong's 2020 fixture

[fpm84]

Looks like the 2020 fixture will be revealed later this week so we can start seeing some drip-fed information over the next day or two.

Tough round one fixture - GWS away.

Geelong and GWS will play in a historic men’s and women’s double header in Sydney in Round 1 of the AFL season.

It’s the first time an AFL and AFLW game will be played on the same fixture.

For those playing at home, this will make it six years since we had a round one game at home.

Does not having a round 1 game at home have anything to do with the fact that the ground is unavailable?

Can't see any reason why it would be unavailable for round 1 next year?

There are Big Bash and A-League games scheduled at GHMBA over summer, the last one is March 1, about 3 weeks before round one.

Second year of playing the grand final loser in round 1

 

[Whiskers]

Straight away thought this means we will play them twice but soon realised that’s no longer how it works.
Who’ll be our double ups from the top tier?
West Coast? One of pies/tigers? Giants/lions?

Round 8 AFLW (Round 2 AFL): Geelong play Collingwood at GMHBA at 3pm.

Are the pies coming down the highway?

They start turning it into an equestrian track for the Sydney Show, so they have to play an early game there each year, seats will be missing and it will have large boundaries.

The only thing I ask:

ROUND 23 NOT AT KARDINIA PARK

How will the afl screw us over this year?

Too many Friday night games at KP. I love Saturday arvo games and a Saturday night game or two but Friday night with a 7.50 start isn't asy for

The only thing I ask:

ROUND 23 NOT AT KARDINIA PARK

Why not? I think it's a good way to farewell players who are planning retirement especially if we win as we often do.
