Sad but probably true.
Maybe in the first couple of years they’ll send a few big Vic teams down there to build some momentum and get some fans travelling.
Medium term though, if Tassie gets good memberships and crowds, they are not going to send Collingwood or Carlton down there.

The Thursday night games. Teams not playing Thursday night - West Coast, North Melbourne and GWS (WTF with this one).
A few low drawing games in that lot.
So Gather Round our only Thursday Night match

Which ones in particular?
Richmond playing first round and game before Anzac Day means they will get a crowd.
Noticed North Melbourne do get a game. Sydney don’t.

Even worse - North Melbourne vs Essendon is headlining round 8.
What a downgrade from the Thursday night showdown.

We play St Kilda and Richmond, both at Adel Oval, in our first two games - according to Herald Sun
Hawthorn/Gold Coast, St Kilda/Bulldogs, Essendon/North
Does depend a bit on how these sides start.

The Richmond rebuild will be on full show on Saturdays in Rounds 2 -3 with the Tigers slated to take on Adelaide away (Round 2) and St Kilda at Marvel Stadium (Round 3).
And St Kilda will have the chance to make a statement early taking on Adelaide away in Round 1, Geelong at Marvel Stadium on Saturday under lights in Round 2, followed by the Tigers in the twilight slot in Round 3.
Bring on the softness

Well that means we are playing away in Rounds 1 and 4 with home games in R2, R3 and R5 (Gather Round).

It can easily be home Rounds 1 and 2 as the article states, away Rounds 3 and 4, then Gather Round.

Why don’t they just announce the fixture rather than all these leaks.

No mate, Port at G in round one,
What I posted from H/Sun said we were home in both round one and two
Fixture out first thing tomorrow but those games at home is exactly what I was hoping for

Ok so if we are playing home in R1 and R2, we surely can’t be playing at home in R3 when Port are scheduled to play away in their Thursday night game. We would start the season with 3 home games?

Ok but read my post above. Surely we can’t start with 3 home games.
