Fan friendly? Great for TV but not attending. Still, they should have it every week. Makes no sense to overlap more weekend games.

Seems unlikely.
I heard we were playing R0.

I’d be surprised if we don’t get 2-3 Thursday night games

Do not want double ups port and Essendon.
Only value of r1 v Essendon is we don’t travel so early ever.

I'm hoping we don't, personally.
1. Will make a little harder for me to get a ticket.
2. I don't want to deal with Port Adelaide fans in Adelaide.
3. I don't trust myself being in the same vicinity as Ken Hinkley.
4. I'll need to leave a day earlier, or at the very least at around 5am on the Thursday to make it by car.
Still hoping we get Richmond or West Coast so I can see my first live win in 2 years haha.
Nah. Gather round sells out anyway. Why waste a big game? I am predicting Rnd 2 or 3.

Not doubting you TD - but I would be surprised. Unless we are shipping the game to NSW or QLD then I don't see us playing in R0 - it is there purely to capitalise on the NRLs batshit crazy Las Vegas experiment.

Would be good to play port in Adelaide the week before or after gather round so we can own the town for a whole week. As an Adelaide resident, a week of brown and gold would be great.

I don't get what the issue is? Are we not able to simply play an away game (in NSW or QLD) in opening round?
We could.
Lions v Cats is Thursday night. Pies are playing - likely v GWS. Blues have asked not to play.
Lions and Cats are locked in.

I don’t think you are picking up what TD is putting down.
He’s saying we will likely play Rnd 0 against 1 of the Northern State sides in their city
Likely to be either Syd or GC

If it continues ten Victorian teams means at least once every 3 years
Is Easter still week before Gather Round or is it different this year?

Out of curiosity, since equalisation measures have been implemented, how come all team's aren't provided with equal prime-time slots?
If Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and Carlton are provided 'x' times more prime-time slots than the rest of the competition, year-after-year; does this not present an inequitable advantage to these teams?
i.e. greater club exposure, higher memberships, higher crowd attendances, greater realised income, etc - compounded yoy!
To be fair, Carlton were off broadway for a few years from 2015. Even played games in Launceston (against us). There is no conspiracy against Hawthorn or other big clubs.
The last few years of Clarkson absolutely ruined our brand - we didn't kick more than 13 goals in a game for about 3 years
