No chance Giants play Suns round 1 in Sydney. Especially when the next week, probably, we will be locked out for 5 weeks for the Easter show.

Hawks v Port.. that's fine
Being at Marvel... Not with the AFL wanting to maximise attendance figures

Brisbane will be away if they are at home in opening round you'd think.

Canberra?

If Engie is available round 1 gets played there, if we get a home game for round 1.
Canberra gets two games during Easter then a game later in the season.

I think Hawthorn and Essendon have asked to be a regular round 1 fixture.

Anyway round 1
Richmond Carlton
Hawthorn Essendon
Bulldogs GWS
Sydney Collingwood
Brisbane Geelong
St Kilda Fremantle
West Coast Port
Adelaide Melbourne
North Goldcoast
The 9 home teams were the 9 away teams to start 2024.
If opening round happens, then it's St Kilda Collingwood & Sydney Fremantle
