Caro on 3aw said we'll be playing Brisbane at the Gabba next year.

There is also word that we've got away games against Collingwood and Port Adelaide.

round 2 apparently against the pies

I'm counting a good 18 wins there.

Nice to finally be playing some of those teams at the G for a change - namely Dogs, Roos, Swans and Crows.

Annoyed we play PA @Marvel but it could be worse...

Return games against Carlton, Collingwood, Adelaide, GWS, West Coast
Play Kangaroos & Bulldogs at MCG not Etihad
Geelong at MCG
Etihad games against Saints. Port Adelaide
Interstate games against West Coast, Brisbane, GWS, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Fremantle

Good draw for us.  No one can beat is anyone so doesn't matter really.

2 trips to Perth  :thumbsdown

and WHY do we get 3 out of our last 6 matches interstate?

Collingwood has 2/3 home games at Marvel against Marvel-Host Clubs ... interesting ...  :thumbsup

AND WHY DO WE HAVE 6 INTERSTATE MATCHES AND COLLINGWOOD HAVE 5?

We must play 1 home marvel match WHICH I don't understand why that is?

Rather that against an interstate team than a Marvel-Home Tenant.

Love that Gold Coast trip second half of the year when they are cooked!

Reading the melts on social media is great fun.

MCG home ground blah blah blah.

The way I see it, there is literally 1 advantage to having the 'G as your home ground. Should you make the GF, you're guaranteed to play on you home ground. That's it.

So what do West Coast do with their ground upgrade? They try and replicate the configuration of the 'G. A year later they win the flag.

What do Geel do? Keep the playing surface as is. Surprise, surprise, when they have to play big matches in the finals their gameplan falls to pieces.

Don't forget, we have no home ground advantage against 4 other clubs (that's not including Essendon who have 4 home games a year on the 'G.) That's the equal most in the competition.

Keep yelling at clouds though....

Because there must be a certain amount of games at Comic Book Stadium every season, even though the AFL owns the stadium they have contractual agreements in place.

To achieve this ALL MCG tenant clubs must play at least 1 home game at Comic Book Stadium

Is it right? No but it is what it is

We are now fortunate it is now only 1 a season rather what it used to be before we became the biggest club in the Comp and that as at least 2-3
