    It was reported The training field would be used primarily by the Sydney Swans and the Swans initiated the plan.

    "The Sydney Swans will reap the benefits of the venture as the partnership provides room to build new facilities and host pre-season training for the Sydney Swans senior side, the Swans NEAFL side and the Swans Academy."

    Rd 9 v LolNorf in Hobart, Saturday night game. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip down there in 2016, so will probably do the trip again down for it! We were already planning a mid year break to go to King Island and do a bit more of Tassie, so locked in now

    Yes, except it assumes he will play all of the first ten games of the season, which is not a given.

    Not a bad draw in terms of who we play double ups against. Carlton being the soft one, but Essendon and Melbourne will be tough. Geelong and GWS we know well in that regard.

    Some improvement in terms of balance of day vs night at the SCG, tempered for me and our little Canberra crew by the fact that of the 6 night games confirmed, 5 are Thursday/Friday. For out of Sydney regulars, Thurs/Friday night games are hard work. The 2.10pm start against GWS away on a Saturday arvo is a good one though! Shame the return leg is the only Saturday night game at the SCG (We try not to do double ups during the season so we can maximise how many different teams we get to see the Swans play).

    Melbourne based fans worse off compared to last year, but more in line with a normal level (last couple of years have been good for Melbourne based fans in terms of number of games).

    A bit odd to play richmond at Marvel and the bombers at the MCG too. But good to see us play Port and Freo away for once!

    One year we might get to avoid the trip to Geelong too, but 2019 was not to be that year. Looking forward to going back to Tassie though

    Overall a pretty decent draw with something for most.

    I don't really consider games starting at 4.30pm in winter as day games....

    Listened to the AFL 2019 fixture launch on the radio. They announced 8 Thursday night games scheduled & clubs to have 5 day breaks to allow for this to happen, but they play opposition club coming off with no more than a 6 day break. The round before & after the 5 day break, the club must have minimum 7 day break. Thought this was made clear but not when it came to question time when a journalist asked why in R8 are Essendon playing Swans at SCG, after Essendon coming off a 5 day break and the Swans a 6 day break! Was he $&@#ing listening!!!!! Assumed that journo is also a whinging EFC supporter. There's only 1 game played on Thursday nights, so you can't have 2 teams playing with both coming off 5 day breaks anyhow.

    There will be AFL games on 10 of the 11 days between April 18th Round 5 and April 28th Round 6. These are the Easter & ANZAC day rounds respectively, which are back to back next year. Only Tuesday April 23rd is there no footy scheduled during this stretch!

    Just adding to Liz's earlier conspiracy theory about the Giants and day/afternoon games (I always love me a good conspiracy theory!). Check out their draw - every home game in Sydney is an afternoon game....

    At first glance, it looks like a pretty good draw. We really should be 3-0 to start the season which will be a good launching pad moving forward.

    I also have no problems with the AFL scheduling day games for GWS. I personally want GWS to do very well and become a self-sufficient club. There is a risk that they fall off a cliff as they continue to bleed talent.
