Well, one would think one of the NSW teams would play at home, so I'm guessing in brad's round 1 that game would switch to Manuka. I'm assuming one of the three Sunday games is in Melbourne.

Would the Showgrounds be available? Easter will be round five or something won't it? With a late Easter could GWS get one home game in Sydney before the ground is unavailable?

Why am i reading a thread of people predicting football schedules?

How did i get to this point?

It's possible Easter is late.
The early game in round 2 in 2017 v the Suns was wierd though. The precinct was a construction zone with temporary fences proving access to the ground. Part of the ground was closed off too as it was being reconfigured.
Honestly prefer to get a Canberra game in before the weather gets too cold.

As much as I’d love a prime time home fixture to unveil the 2018 flag, we will be on the road in round 1.

The two WA teams rotate the opening home fixture each year, so West Coast will be off on a plane for the first game of 2019.

Thank you... finally someone else that understands the rotation policy that goes on between the SA/WA clubs.

Crows & Dockers will be at home in round 1
Eagles and Port Power will be away in round 1
