After the mid season bye, 7 of the last 11 at the G as we start the finals run. You can hear the whinging already from the oppos.

Thanks guys for posting it.

Return fixtures against the Eagles AND the Kochies .......strike me Teddy.

No Game against the Bears in Brisneyland ......wow cant believe it.

Of course no home game against the Goldens or the Kanga's.
I like that one.

Nothing will ever beat the 7 in a row at the MCG leading into finals sookfest we endured from oppos in 2019

what a thing of beauty it was, especially in hindsight.

great times…..

Annoys me that we never play *smile* clubs like north or GC at the G but I don’t think RFC wants them TBH.

Can earn more coin from hosting other clubs

Almost as good as the Teddy Bears getting the 2020 season gift wrapped for them not having to leave their state after the first few weeks and they still choked and the MIGHTY TIGERS were crowned again GAGF !!!

We've played Port 35 times, 10 times in Melbourne & only 6 at the MCG.
2 of theirs were Finals so we'll give them those but still strangely lopsided.
Just 2 of the last 13 have been played at the MCG.

Football Park - 15
Adelaide Oval - 9
MCG - 6
Dump - 4
Marrara Oval 1

That's a Gilligan / Salty Scotty special. Its untenable to fly 5hrs to Perth and play off a 5 day break. This game could easily have been Saturday night instead of Friday night.

I wouldn't blame the club if they took the VFL team over to play this game.

Agreed
 
Can't stand the fact that so many games have no date/time, f***ing stupid.

Given they are not giving us any notice, when are they going to allow people to just turn up to the game with their membership card and walk in? Bring back general admission!

Thats the best watching the old codger 6-0 6-0 twice in September.
Now with things going back to normal, they have no chance.
Imagine playing them on the G in September, it would be like a bye.
P.s nice to see Port Adelaide get Adelaide twice.
 
Another season where we can not play ahead with travel. The AFL could not give a stuff about the fans.

I can live with it as long as they give 6 weeks advanced notice. last year it wasn't much more than 1-2 weeks due to COVID. let’s hope we don’t have the same issue in 2022.

You'd rather play interstate teams away when they’re weak and at home when they're strong. Playing Adelaide, West Coast and Gold Coast away is good. Playing Port and Brisbane at home is good. We also play Footscray at the G (good) and Norf at Marvel when they have just won the spoon (good).

On another note, I like the experiment of 2 Friday night games. But not if it means we get more Thursday night games. I really hope R1 is our only thursday night game.

How about the fact its a horrible draw from a commercial perspective. One prime time spot in the first 8 weeks for the biggest club in the land is *smile* poor.

Yep. One down year and we’re shunted. Payback for Benny’s comments?

At least this one's at the G......but hang on, I'm sure Pricky and SHocking will be holding negotiations as the season goes on....
