If the AFL were serious about building up blockbusters Melbourne playing Port at the G on Easter Sunday is a joke. It'll most likely be at 1.10pm which even more laughable.

For a giggle I've made some changes to round one that would be better for marketing, etc.

  • Showdown to open season
  • Essendon play Melbourne on Saturday twilight... guarantees 40k+
  • NM v Col solo Sunday twilight match = 50k+ and big TV audience
Round 1, 2013

Friday, March 22
Adelaide v Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium
Saturday, March 23
Fremantle v West Coast at Patersons Stadium
Thursday, March 28
Carlton v Richmond at the MCG
Saturday, March 30
Western Bulldogs v Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium
Gold Coast v St Kilda at Metricon Stadium
Melbourne v Essendon at the MCG
Greater Western Sydney v Sydney Swans at ANZ STadium
Sunday, March 31
North Melbourne v Collingwood at Etihad Stadium
Monday, April 1
Hawthorn v Geelong at the MCG

i reckon Rory Taggert is a big chance to debut Round 1, kid is a jet and just needs an uninterrupted preseason to show what he can do

the coaches love him

Yeah would very much like to see our lads wearing the right colours against them for once, though if it's an away game at the MCG I won't be too upset.

Guys - we can actually beat Essendon during the H&A season. Let's not go messing with it - if we can roll them in an "away" game then it stays that way. If it aint broke don't fix it. :thumbsu:
Essendon's greatest rival of recent times has been the month of June. If we play them in June, they're toast.
