The AFL website says the fixture is going "to be announced at the end of October". Well, that means tomorrow at the latest. So far they are drip feeding us bits and pieces.
We play the Crows in Adelaide round 1, and then host the Bombers in our first home game of the season on Friday night 27 March 2020: Crow stays in the nest after Sydney interest falls through - AFL.com.au. Annoyingly, they are hyping it as the "Joe Daniher Cup". I guess we are going to have to put up with that kind of thing all season or until JD re-signs with EFC.
Anyway, looking forward to the announcement of the balance of the fixture and hoping for a maximum of afternoon home games against non- also-ran teams. Happy for our away matches to be on Friday nights.
Will be interested to see which teams we are fixtured to play twice: I'll guess GWS and four of Essendon, Hawks, Adelaide, Melbourne, North and Saints.
Any other requests/hopes? Or guesses?
