    After the last 3 years, I'm glad it's someone other than St Kilda!

    Would be very surprised if Collingwood's first home game wasn't at the MCG with their flag unveiling etc. I'd also be surprised to see them get any home games at Docklands given the crowd of ferals that'll turn up to every game the year after a flag.
    Tips me lid if you're proven right though Matt.

    I'll just be happy not to start the year against St Kilda...the sort of scheduling we've had the last few years will convince some dill at AFL HQ that it's become a tradition, and we'll be stcuck with them for 100 years!

    Collingwood do not play at Etihad, their home ground is the MCG. Etihad can't fit the crowd size they draw.

    After the late finish to this season, 2011 is just the year you want St.Kilda in the first round so you can bet it won't happen now!

    There is absolutely no way Collingwood's first proper game after the premiership will be at Etihad. Do Collingwood even play away games at Etihad?
