According to the Mercury, the Hawks are to play Carlton and St Kilda in regular season games in Launnie, whilst St Kilda will also play in Hobart vs North.

By process of deduction that means Freo at least getting another game in Melbourne.

Sorry, but this cannot be right

What about the grand vfl conspiracy??

 

[crazywildhorse]

I know the expectation of Carlton is not high, but it's still a big call for the AFL to send a 'Big Four' side down there.

O' dear god, please think of the travel... so much travel

We'll have to discuss it at our next secret meeting.

Carlton are supposed to play there first up in the NAB Cup, Id be a little surprised if they went twice in the same year, regardless of last years results.

$100 says Adelaide is at home in Rd 23 and you're wrong.

 

[docks]

Not sure we are getting an extra game at the MCG, only playing the Pies once this year so my guess is we will have only 4 or 5 games there this year

How do you know you are only playing the Pies once?

 

[Tiger71]

We'll have to discuss it at our next secret meeting.

Pretty sure it was mentioned in an article recently.

Big 4 isn't a thing

 

[docks]

OK, I hadn't heard that, I just assumed with the fixture model that Collingwood being in 7-12 bracket and Carlton/Essendon in the 13-18 that Collingwood's minimum two from that bracket would be Carlton and Essendon. I guess all will be revealed tomorrow.

Yeah I stopped adding to it when that happened

Hawks playing the Crows Friday night of ANZAC weekend at the MCG

 

[Great8]

Apparantly Richmond are the only top 8 side Essendon will play twice this year. Also playing Melbourne at Etihad and Fremantle in Melbourne for the first time in years

Just the AFL being cautious, less chance of a Carlton or a Brisbane handing essendon an ass kicking, wouldn't get excited though dude, all clubs except for Carlton will be eyeing off essendon as a win.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Any chance Melbourne will actually get a home game against the Bombers? Nah I didn't think so either.

My wife works for one of the media outlets and it was on a email that passed through today along with a few other supposed leaks. It may not be fact that's why I put it on the speculation thread

About the same as us getting a home game against Freo

 

[FootyJunkie]

lowest of the "big 4" should be sent to Tas each year
