3. If we were to flip those matches, Richmond would not have a home game until Round 5, which would be unfair on the Club.
That’s considered unfair, but it’s not considered unfair to schedule us to play at Subiaco one weekend and the Gabba the next? We could well be 1 and 5 after the first 6 rounds.
If the AFL were so concerned, they would see this as having the potential to be more financially damaging to the Club than having 3 weeks between home games.
