THE 2018 AFL fixture will be released on Tuesday morning.
Clubs have been submitting their fixture requests to get the best on-field and financial outcomes.
What they'll want: After an extraordinary effort to win the flag, the Tigers' requests should have a bit more weight and they will likely have multiple Friday night appearaces, after none this year. They want all their home games at the MCG, rather than having one at Etihad Stadium, no back-to-back travel and to again have their three marquee games: the season opener against Carlton, Dreamtime at the G against Essendon and the Anzac Day Eve game against Melbourne, which has been confirmed by AFL.com.au.
The game the fans will be looking for: Sydney kicked eight of the last nine goals in round 13 to pinch a nine-point victory, so Richmond will want to avenge that performance.
