News 2020 fixture

[HTT]

AFL puts rare shift on the table for Victorian powerhouses

It’s been 28 years for Essendon and a lifetime for Collingwood - but the streaks could end this year.

Oh just say Richmond against North Melbourne in Hobart already. Oh wait,



Get prepared. They say Collingwood and Essendon, but I will be surprised if Richmond do not play North Melbourne there. It was first year in a while that we were actually fixtured to play them at the MCG too.

Expecting a Tassie game and Geelong game. Probably 8 home games too. I genuinely believe our game against WC in QLD is the AFL sinking a boot into the WA government a bit, to open the borders for games. It is a fair leg up for us, so I don't think we'll get many other 'lucky' fixtures, which is probably fair enough.

 

[captain blood 17]

Old mate in WA might wanna calm down on twitter after the boat screw up he just had. Those borders won’t be opening anytime soon.

Surely this home games wherever we want them means that no home game at marvel?

there's probably some sort of contract that means a certain number of games must be played there each season.

 

[King Jedd]

Tassie game can only be lolnorf now so that's not a big deal, could cop cat's although they've used up 3-4 homes games down at GBH stadium so this has worked out pretty well for us TBH, even if we cop a loss to WCE after having to fly on 5 days rest.

Agree, but if cats now get every game at GBH becuase of no crowds surely they can't be asking us to go to Marvel

Still possible to play North or Dogs at Docklands as a home match.

Do you guys think they are going to make us stay in the QLD hub by making us play Brisbane and Gold Coast in Rounds 6 and 7?

Hope not. As restrictions ease what happens to the AFL?

I’m not sure tbh. The AFL might want to smash out our QLD games while we are there though. It depends on how practical it would be

 

[Dr Tigris]

With the AFL is reckon logical thought is a dangerous way to go. I reckon they're just playing it by the seat of their pants.

 

[Underarm]

I doubt it. We only travel max 5 times, I doubt they will have 3 of them in a row, giving us a huge stack of Melbourne games in the last 10 weeks.

QLD aren't as militant about their border closures as WA.

 

[Lsta062]

So we are playing North Melbourne on Sunday night (6:10pm) at Marvel Stadium.

Just a reminder now it will be 9 years since we have had a home game against norf

Since 2001 (excluding finals), it would be 16 games at Docklands, 2 in Tasmania and 6 games at the MCG. So 18 games at North Melbourne’s preferred grounds and 6 games at Richmond’s preferred ground.

End of round 6 we will have played 2 home games.

Assuming the plague clears up we should get a good run home again

* off

original fixture was at the G. what is this s**t

 

[VB_longneck]

hopefully we still get norf at the G later in the fake unicorn season

or actually * it and leave it for 2021 otherwise we will get norf at shitihad again next year

 

[HTT]

Hope we get a game in Adelaide R7 with crowds.

Works for me

No Bias

Qld still has a closed land border that people are supposed to be quarranting after travel. I'm not sure about air travel. Having games there suits me. I'm driving distance from Metricon

Our losing record is to do with our quality as a football team. I've seen us lose a final to North a few years ago. We are a better club now and should be able to beat anyone anywhere.
And if we can't adjust our game style to shorter quarters. Then we don't deserve it. RFC has played poorly since the season restarted. Especially the goal kicking department.

or actually fu** it and leave it for 2021 otherwise we will get norf at shitihad again next year

unless they play finals we won't play them again H&A

 

[mauricerioli]

Any Richmond members living in Qld check your emails, there should be one from the club advising on ticketing for the West Coast game at Metricon.
