The fans deserve it, no other teams in 2020 will come close to matching these two for blockbusters. in forms teams playing on each other’s dung heaps should be a no brainer.
Game Day Will Tigers and Eagles get to play twice in 2020?

Do you ever play in Perth twice in a season, both Freo & the Eagles, doesnt the FIXture mean you only travel to a city once each season.
Don't agree they'l be the only block busters, From a Eagles POV WC v Geelong will be absolutely huge as will games v the Pies. also want to trounce the Hawks (respect, but want to smash them on the park)

I believe we have previously. Irrelevant anyway...question is should we get two matches next season.

I’m talking AFL point of view, the footy world demands it. All we will hear about prior to feeling game is Tim Kelly ad nauseum. I forecast there will be no bigger games next year.
Absolutly should, but we didnt in 2019 because of the FIXture, its limiting.

We have three times in the past decade-- 2009, 2013 & 2016.
Will definitely sell out the geelong game or go very close if they go to optus.

It's about time they did. AFL seem to hate these 2 teams playing.

Not sure of the significance of WC v Richmond next year
We were losing semi-finalists. Didn't even play the tigers in the finals.
Didn't have a player swap nor have a traditional rivalry.
I'm sure we will double up against Geelong with a likely Rd 2 matchup at alphabet stadium

Slated to be best two teams running around next year. You got hold of us last time at Optus.
This is pissing rights.
When is the last time the Tigers played the Eagkes twice in the home and away rounds?
I seem to recall its been over 10 years.
AFL House is all about crowd numbers. Saying that you would expect these games to be big crowd pulling games.
Richmond will play West Coast in Perth next year, it's been one for one for long time now and I doubt the AFL will change it because both teams are near the top.
It will be unlikely that Richmond come to Perth to play Fremantle as well next year as we played here in 2019. The last time Richmond played both WA teams in Perth was 2016
Richmond's interstate games in 2020 will most likely be:
Brisbane (played them at the G in 2019, so return bout at the GABBA)
West Coast (same as above game to be played at Optus)
Sydney (Haven't played the Swans at the SCG for a while)
Port Adelaide (we always tend to play both SA teams in Adelaide)
Adelaide (as above)
Richmond will also play 3 games at Marvel stadium :
Western Bulldogs
North Melbourne
St Kilda
Richmond double up games will most likely be:
Collingwood
Melbourne
Brisbane
Adelaide
Essendon
Richmond will get 11 home games at the G and 3 away games (Melbourne, Collingwood & Essendon) at the G (14 games), 5 interstate matches and 3 games at Marvel = 22 games.

OP was effectively suggesting the AFL hand Richmond a more difficult draw.
You turn it into a whinge about Richmond not travelling enough (even though they travel just as much as any Victorian club).
For the record there are all sorts of peculiarities with the fixture. Richmond generally only plays North and the Bulldogs one per year. Richmond's match against Port this year was the first time that has happened since the early 2000's!
That proves his point?
Maybe not. I think our 3x top 6 double ups will be against Collingwood, Giants and Lions. I imagine our 1x game against Eagles will be in Perth. We them played at the G in 2019 but went to Perth in 2018 so that makes sense.

* against the 2019 premiership if we don't play the Eagles twice in Perth in 2020
