2020 AFL fixture released

[Gosaints12]

Only in WA. No other states give a PH in lieu.

Could still have a WA game on the Monday though.

Don’t feel like getting fired to watch that game, please no.

Pies play Carlton round 2

I dislike it too. I don’t understand why Collingwood is so often fixtures there because we don’t have any marquee games with them

 

[Pie eyed]

Twilight ANZAC Day game?
Hope Gillon gets crabs.

Pies play Carlton round 2

How do you know this?

Pies play Carlton round 2

I thought Carlton are playing at Marvel Round 2?

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Not every club gets to play away games at their venue of choice against the Pies and Richmond (who seem to play their home games at Marvel against the Dogs, Roos and Saints)

Adelaide will travel to Alice Springs on Sunday, May 17 to face Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park.

The Round Nine clash is the first match confirmed in Adelaide’s 2020 home and away fixture and will mark the fourth year in a row the Crows venture north of the border.

The game will feature a celebration of Indigenous culture and contribution to the game of Australian Football with first bounce at 2.50pm ACST.

The complete 2020 Toyota AFL Premiership Season fixture is expected to be announced later this week.

Hope it's a similar result to the last time we played the Crows there

Richmond round 23 in Perth

....against Freo

 

[MadMundy]

I don't understand why people are already calling it a terrible Round 1 fixture when we haven't seen any games yet. Sure on paper, it isn't the most fabulous look, but it could end up being really good.

Richmond round 23 in Perth

Vs Freo if true as we play at home round 1 we'll play away round 23.

edit: ah damn it means we'll get them only once and it'll be in Melbourne. The AFL try to avoid sending Vic teams to Perth twice in one season.

People will go to these games in droves regardless of quality match ups because its the first official week of AFL in months. So I guess it makes sense they'll throw a few shitty match ups knowing they will sell out or come close to anyway.

 

[MadMundy]

I'm just going to say, if the AFL schedules us to play two straight away games against Essendon and Carlton I'll be so annoyed. In what universe is that remotely fair? Apart from the first couple of years of West Coast's inception they've never made a WA team play two games away from home in a row.

Caro said on Sportsday that Richmond are coming out to Perth twice.

Umm that’s completely untrue.

We’ve travelled to Perth twice 9 out of the last 13 years. Also played Fremantle in Perth 13 out of the last 14 years.

I’d say that’s the most out of any club. We’ve already played at Optus Stadium 5 times in 2 years, which is definitely the most out of any club.

Then again, we’re the Victorian club that travels the most

Pies play Carlton round 2

Really? I like that change for us

We’ll likely travel to Perth twice if we are indeed playing Fremantle in Perth in Round 23. I don’t see the AFL only giving us West Coast in Melbourne. In fact, I think there is a high chance that we’ll play twice.

 

[Madtiger2006]

2 mcg games in round 1? That’s crap lol

 

[mikey127]

Really? I like that change for us

Don't think it's right as Carlton AFLE team playing at Marvel

 

[Xtreme]

* Looks at fixture and develops a sheepish grin at seeing Melbourne facing the West Coast Eagles in WA..

*AFL SAYS HOLD MY BEER*

Hawthorn vs Brisbane arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh having not beaten Brisbane for quite some time now, I expect Hawthorn to be 0 - 1 at the end of round 1

 

[hawkman]

A Thursday night game
A Friday night game
Coll vs Ess
Two Sunday arvo games
Two Sunday Twilight games
A Sunday Night game
A Monday night game

The usual crazy AFL decision. Hold this one stand alone game to the detriment to the rest of the round.

 

[Lsta062]

Oh I see. Maybe we still play Collingwood in Round 2 then

 

[kade]

Hawks apparently playing the eagles on Anzac Day in Launceston at 1:10pm

 

[Pessimistic]

The usual crazy AFL decision. Hold this one stand alone game to the detriment to the rest of the round.

a not so hidden message to the footy public "we don't give a crap what you think"

So is anzac day game traditional or not? its been described as traditional from the second year onwards

 

[HBF]

How long before the cry babies in here start whinging about Richmond's draw?

Have they stopped from 2019?
Its not that hard to fathom. Richmond were clearly the best team of 2019, and deservedly won the flag.

 

[LiterallyNobody]

I am just completely confused by the conflicting info about Round 2 with Carlton - heard they are playing Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon in first three rounds on SEN but if that's the case, why is the AFLW game between Freo and Carlton at Marvel - the only explanation is that two teams with no AFLW counterpart are playing a game at Marvel - those four teams would be between Essendon, Hawthorn, Port or Sydney... Port and Sydney should both play at home round two. Just completely confused by that.

 

[HBF]

Dibbs. Saints vs Blues

Won't be Carlton.
