Would love Yarran to kick the winning goal in the dying seconds of the game, RFC by 1 point.

Then beat Collingwood by 100 the following week :D

If we want to be a big club we need to win  big games against the Pies.
Given its our turn to be the home team in round 1 against Carlton I reckon this will be a Magpie home game.

They'll be showing off their recruits and we would want to set up our season with both teams at full strength with plenty on the line in a blockbuster so early in the season.

If be expected the exact reverse of that.
Would expect to flog the cheats very comfortably but with the players the pies have picked up I expect them to be a lot better. I hope Townsend tackles Trelaor out of the game in the first minute to set up a convincing win.

AFL fixture 2016: Melbourne and Richmond to play Anzac eve

Date
October 26, 2015 - 8:01PM

Caroline Wilson
Chief Football Writer for The Age

Melbourne has scored a major victory with its playing schedule next season, having convinced the AFL to reprise its Anzac eve clash against Richmond at the MCG.

In a move which is expected to irritate Collingwood, the competition will return to the scene of its 2014 fixturing fiasco — Sunday night football — in order to satisfy the Demons and the Tigers which have worked to create a new regular event in the AFL calendar.

While the league was reluctant to schedule a Sunday night game – the timeslot registered some historically bad attendance numbers when it was used for experimental purposes to appease broadcasters in 2014 – the MCG co-tenants were adamant the fixture could work in 2016 as a one-off on the eve of a public holiday.

Collingwood and Essendon will stage the stand-alone April 25 blockbuster which falls on a Monday next season. Fremantle and Port Adelaide have also been successful in their bids to host home games at Subiaco and the Adelaide Oval respectively over the Anzac weekend.

Richmond and Melbourne made a joint bid to the AFL some 18 months ago to play each other at the MCG as a regular fixture on Anzac eve in a game. The clubs' bid involved a dedication to Frank Checker Hughes, a decorated World War I hero who played in two Richmond premierships and coached the Tigers one along with four flags as the Demons coach.

Last year's clash saw Ron Barassi light a flame in a moving pre-game ceremony which came with the backing of the RSL. Melbourne upset Richmond by 32 points in front of 58,000.

However, the Magpies opposed the new fixture, describing the Anzac Day calendar as already over-subscribed . Club president Eddie McGuire likened the April 24 night game at the MCG to "having Christmas twice."

Mindful of the Sunday night disasters in 2014 the AFL initially indicated its was unwilling to fixture the Melbourne-Richmond game in that slot but the two clubs told the league they wanted to back themselves to create the regular tribute game on whatever night it fell.

The AFL has fixtured no other Sunday night games next season with the Demons to take on Collingwood again in what has become the traditional public holiday clash on Queen's Birthday Monday.

Sorry I just don't think is or will ever be some sort of blockbuster game

And TBH I really cannot see any benefit in playing a game on ANZAC day eve.

And seeing it won't be our home game next year, I won't be going  ;D

Actually will be interesting to see what sort of numbers they get with it being a Melb home game rather than a Tiger home game...

Fixture wish list: What is your club hoping for next year?

Jennifer Phelan

RICHMOND

It's already known the Tigers have retained their preferred season-opener against Carlton, which they'll host at the MCG on Easter Thursday on March 24. It will likely see Chris Yarran take on his former side in the very first round of the season. They've also requested to keep the Anzac Day Eve slot against Melbourne, despite it landing on a Sunday next year, after it was first held this season and acknowledged both clubs' war-time links. It's believed Richmond will request, with St Kilda, to play in a prime-time game at Etihad Stadium as the second "Maddie's Match" – a home game for the Saints - and will ask to retain 'Dreamtime at the 'G' against Essendon (with the Bombers due to host).
