2021 fixture

I think we are ranked 5th hardest, I am still trying to work out how Port dodges double ups with any of the top five teams from last year.

The harder the draw the stronger we get.

Tigers set to host Bulldogs in round seven Friday night blockbuster

By Peter Ryan and Daniel Cherny

April 7, 2021

The Western Bulldogs’ early-season form has them set to meet defending premiers Richmond in a Friday night blockbuster at the MCG in round seven.

The Bulldogs are unbeaten after three rounds for the first time since 2009 and are considered top-four aspirants, while the Tigers remain premiership contenders despite their loss to Sydney in round three.

Richmond’s golden era, during which they have won three of the past four flags, began the year after the Bulldogs broke a 62-year premiership drought in 2016.

Industry sources indicated the Tigers were likely to host the Bulldogs in what would be Richmond’s first Friday night match in Melbourne since the 2019 preliminary final against Geelong.

...

Richmond and Geelong will meet in a 2020 grand final rematch at the MCG in round eight, with the game appearing suited to Friday night football as the most obvious highlight of the round.

Home game at Marvel?  I don't get it?

[Tiger Khosh]

Home game at Marvel?  I don't get it?

Pretty sure we are obligated to play one home game at marvel every season.

[Andyy]

At least it's against fecking GWS

[WilliamPowell]

Home game at Marvel?  I don't get it?

Pretty sure we are obligated to play one home game at marvel every season.

Correct

All MCG co-tennants are forced to play a minimum of one home game at Comic Book Stadium

Every year our Club requests all home games at the MCG = none at Comic Book but it falls on deaf ears
