If that's true, then good. Face a recent nemesis on our home deck.

No idea at this stage as to when in the season this game could fall, but our matches with Sandy have tended to come in the middle/2nd half of the year, so there's a good chance that pattern will repeat.

All unofficial at this stage though, so we'll just have to wait and see (geez, I sound like one of Balme's injury reports... )

Thanks for that summary MB! Here are the double headers for next year.

Round 2 - Casey, MCG/Olympic Park, 11:45am (Sunday, April 17th)
= We then play Melbourne at the MCG starting at 3:20pm.

Round 5 - Sandringham, Olympic Park, 5:15pm (Saturday, May 7th)
= We play Carlton beforehand at the MCG that starts at 1:45pm.

Round 7 - Williamstown, Olympic Park, 5:15pm (Saturday, May 21st)
= We play Geelong beforehand at the MCG that starts at 1:45pm.

Round 13 - Northern Blues, Olympic Park/MCG, 4:00pm (Saturday, July 2nd)
= We then play Carlton at the MCG starting at 7:25pm.

Round 17 - Geelong, Victoria Park, 12:00pm (Saturday, July 30th)
= We then play West Coast at the MCG starting at 4:35pm.

Round 20 - Box Hill, Box Hill City Oval, 12:00pm (Saturday, August 20th)
= We then play Gold Coast at Etihad starting at 7:25pm. I do note that their is a gap somewhat between both games.

Overall not bad when it comes to the double headers but some of the starting times are strange plus it's disappointing we're only playing five games at Victoria Park next year.

Hope this not the Beginning of VFL Team Moving to Holden Center from Vic Park

Seems to be more about aligning the double headers. Love Vic Park but having access to the VFL across the road from the AFL game makes sense, particularly as there seems to be a shuffling of the order and therefore a need for lights.
