I mentioned the 80's tussles. The line in the "snad" was a Dermie and close margins make for good footy.
Here's what I put in...
- First game at the new redeveloped MCG to be between Richmond and Collingwood. Thousands would come along just to witness the newly constructed stand for the first time.
- Create Rivalry Round to be Round 3, with the matching Heritage Round to be Round 22, so there are no major road trips for any of the clubs leading into the finals.
Round 3 - Rivalry Round
Friday
Essendon vs Richmond, 7:40pm TD (N) - 49, 000
Saturday
Carlton vs Collingwood, 2:10pm TD - 49, 000
Geelong vs Kangaroos, 2:10pm SS - 28, 000
Brisbane Lions vs Sydney, 7:10pm G (N) 38, 000
*St Kilda vs Western Bulldogs, 8:10pm TD (N) 44, 000
Sunday
Adelaide vs Port Adelaide, 12:40pm AAMI, 40, 000
Hawthorn vs Melbourne, 2:10pm TD - 42, 000
West Coast Eagles vs Fremantle, 2:10pm S - 40, 000
*Start game an extra hour later allowing Telstra Dome staff to prepare the venue for the night game following.
Round 22 - Heritage Round
Friday
Collingwood vs Carlton, 7:40pm MCG (N) - 65, 000
Saturday
Richmond vs Essendon, 2:10pm MCG - 62, 000
Fremantle vs West Coast Eagles, 2:10pm S - 40, 000
Western Bulldogs vs St Kilda, 7:10pm TD (N) - 42, 000
Port Adelaide vs Adelaide, 7:10pm AAMI (N) - 40, 000
Sunday
Sydney vs Brisbane Lions, 1:10pm SCG - 32, 000
Melbourne vs Hawthorn, 2:10pm MCG - 45, 000
Kangaroos vs Geelong, 2:10pm TD - 43, 000
**All games are local times.
- Make the Split Round 4 games per week, taking into consideration the days that certain teams played in Round 12. Eg. Teams that played earlier in Round 12 would play the first week of the Split Round, while teams that played the later half of Round 12 would play the second week. In 2005, Melbourne should not have had a 5-day break going into the Split Round after playing the Queen's Birthday clash against Collingwood on the Monday.

Bomber Spirit
Norm Smith Medallist
My rivalry round was:
Port v Adelaide
West Coast v Freo
Essendon v Collingwood
Carlton v Richmond
Sydney v Melbourne
Brisbane v Western Bulldogs
Geelong v St Kilda
Hawthorn v Kangaroos
My fixture requests:
12 games in Sydney - 3 Saturday night at Telstra Stadium, 3 Saturday night at SCG and 6 Sunday at SCG.
Due to higher likelihood of travel in finals, round 22 should consist of: SA showdown, WA derby, Sydney and Brisbane both at home. At least for as long as the MCC finals contract remains.
Kangaroos to play Essendon in Canberra (not likely, but worth a try).
If the AFL books Telstra Stadium for a game, don't back down to any bully-boy stuff by rugby union.

Good draw, but I dont think St.Kilda Western Bulldogs will get 44 000 they only got 32 000 last week.metallichris said:
Other then that, I would accept that one.
But what is with Essendon and Richmond????
- Thread starter
- #57
On the opening of the new stand, Collingwood at the start of the year said no to Collingwood vs Richmond, from memory its either Collingwood V Melbourne or Hawthorn.
Why not have Rivalry Round in round 1??????
btw, Richmond Essendon havent had 55 000+ since 2001 hardly likly next year.

big deal. the ess v haw rivalry died years a go, well to essendon supporters it did anyway.
ess v rich is a big game, and when both teams are going it is a 'blockbuster' that draws the crowds. the afl got it wrong with its rivalry round match up this year and i think it will be changed to coincide with the build up to the 'dream time' game.
HardcoreHawk said:How do they schedule that in advance you knob.
Leave it as an "unscheduled position round", much like how finals venues can change at a moments notice.
But yeah, I can understand it would be logistically difficult with respect to organising corporate boxes/functions, and all the other associated problems with it.
It could probably work, but it maybe logistically very difficult though.
But these are only ideas after all.

Sorry. Lets just do what you want then. I failed to realise that I needed to appease your superior knowledge, which probably goes back at least five years. It seems to me that Hawthorn only want to play against Essendon in the Rivalry rounds. Why? If you only want Essendon supporters to prop up your miserable bottom line that's fine, but at least do your self a favour and look for a real rivalry. You are only making yourself look like a ........ "KNOB".
Rivalry Round.....
West Coast Eagles v Fremantle Dockers
Adelaide Crows v Port Adelaide Power
Essendon Bombers v Collingwood Magpies
Carlton Blues v Richmond Tigers
Sydney Swans v Kangaroos
Western Bulldogs v Geelong Cats
Melbourne Demons v Hawthorn Hawks
St Kilda Saints v Brisbane Lions
Fixture Requests....
Play a game on Good Friday Night
Split Round - Play 8 games the first week and 2 State of Origin games the 2nd week.
Round 22...Play Brisbane Lions v Sydney Swans on Friday Night so the visiting team can travel home early to prepare for a possible finals campaign.
West Coast v Freo and Port v Crows = No travel
All 10 Victorian based teams to play in Victoria = No travel
(2 games at MCG, 2 games at TD, 1 game at Geelong)
West Coast Eagles v Fremantle Dockers
Adelaide Crows v Port Adelaide Power
Essendon Bombers v Collingwood Magpies
Carlton Blues v Richmond Tigers
Sydney Swans v Kangaroos
Western Bulldogs v Geelong Cats
Melbourne Demons v Hawthorn Hawks
St Kilda Saints v Brisbane Lions

I'd like to see round 22 be some predefined format, so that there is no arguing about who travels or doesn't or for the SA and WA sides whether they really want a Showdown/Derby in the last round. These are pretty big events in both states and I'm not sure thats what they would want straight before finals.
I was thinking the last round should eb based on the final standings for the previous year and you would have 1v16, 2v15 and so on. Means everybody knows where they stand before the season even starts.
I'm not a fan of rivalry rounds or big clashes in Round 22; I would have thought that the sides making the finals will have a hard enough month ahead, without adding another tough round in week 22.

"Where did i say i wanted to play Essendon you illerate unable to read
Feral." Quoted from the greatest literary mind of our times Hardcore Hawk
What does "illerate" mean? Ask mummy to look it up for you in the dictionary. Then, sit down, watch a High Five video and leave the sensible talk to the big people.
And by the way, I never paid any attention to anything you had to say. You are a complete and utter tool. Unless you wake up to yourself you will have alot of trouble when you get to high school.
Now here are some words you can read.... knob...feral.

Thought about it. Wouldn't think the AFL would use the Rivalry Round during the Easter Weekend though.
Like said before, today got 49, 925 approximately in shocking conditions. Should've got 55, 000+ if today was a nice day.
