Dropping Round 1 this morning was nothing about keeping the AFL in the news given there’s a big sporting event on was it

Whaaaaat? No of course not. They always drop the fixture at 6am on a December Sunday!

Not really a “bonus round”. Just another round of footy.

As a Collingwood supporter I’m slightly let down with the fixture for a team who were one kick away from the grand final this year.

Only 2 Friday night games in the first 15 rounds that have been released. We lose a game against St Kilda that could’ve been played in front of lots of fans in Melbourne that is instead being played in Adelaide for Gather Round. A Sunday 4.40pm at the G is not desirable, neither is 2 home games at Marvel Stadium.

Nice of the AFL to give Good Friday to a team that hasn’t made finals in about 10 years

That’s contractual. They have to play a certain amount of games there each season.

Hawthorn’s members will be pissed off at the draw - wonder if it will have an impact on memberships

I know that, but this year we only had to have 1 home game at Marvel. Not the end of the world but you’d think for a big club like Collingwood you’d organise the Marvel distribution by giving the Pies 10 home games at the G and give that other game to another smaller club.

But that’s the problem. Collingwood brings crowds, so is more appealing to the stadium.

There is a typo with the first paragraph - it should read $2.85 million per annum instead of just $2.85.

Maybe the GWS Giants aren’t worth much more than $2.85 anyway :rofl:
