@Adelaide_FC No games in Sydney for the second season in a row?#Disappointed
— Yianni Haniotis (@Yianni_H) October 26, 2016

Carlton
@AFL 2010 the last time Carlton played in Adelaide now 7 straight seasons they can not cross the boarder pic.twitter.com/DBkGzDRoAr

@CarltonFC can't really complain about a lack of Friday night games. We have to prove that we can actually perform on the big stage first.

2017 will be only the second time since 1966 there haven't been two Carlton-Collingwood H&A games. Last time was 1991. #aflfixture

Collingwood
@CollingwoodFC any reason why it's our "home game" against St Kilda at Etihad in round 4?
— Joel Greer (@joelcgreer) October 26, 2016
@CollingwoodFC tough draw but could be the making of a special year. #SideBySide #GoPies
— motters (@mottersjames) October 26, 2016
Collingwood and Adelaide play the same 5 teams twice. Collingwood finished 12th, Adelaide 6th. Explain this please @AFL @RalphyHeraldSun
— Ariel Zelwer (@AZelwer) October 26, 2016
Essendon
About time @EssendonFC played @freodockers IN MELBOURNE! first time in how many years?!? @AFL @jock_reynolds @DTTALK @WarnieDT
— Aaron (@aaronmeadows0) October 26, 2016
@XCampbell79 I've never been so excited about an @EssendonFC fixture coming out!!
— Andrew (@scotsburner) October 26, 2016
@EssendonFC 6 interstate games @westernbulldogs 5. How does that work? @AFL @AFL_PKeane *mind boggling*
— Aaron (@aaronmeadows0) October 26, 2016
Fremantle
@freodockers 10W-2L at the bye, 18-4 at the end of season.
— Freo: Pope ⚓ (@FreoPope) October 26, 2016
Looks good. #ForeverFreo
Excellent fixture for Freo fans. Just four six day breaks, travel to Tas/QSL minimised. #aflfixture #afl

Geelong
Gold Coast
Would rather see all our home games played at our beautiful @MetriconStadium & the money go to our local hotels & shops @GoldCoastSUNS @PAFC
— Canty (@cantyufc) October 26, 2016
Greater Western Sydney
@GWSGIANTS i am very happy with our draw
— Very deep 3rd man (@Verydeep3rdman) October 26, 2016
Great! @GWSGIANTS have @AFL FRIDAY NIGHT games. Big failure not putting any at home though! PS, sat PM games don't work either #AFLFixture
— Matthew Crowe (@CrowesArc) October 26, 2016
@GWSGIANTS Stupid that the Dogs game isn't @ spotless! Swap the Collingwood or Gold Coast game 2 Canberra & the Dogs game 2 spotless!
— Karl (@KP_096) October 27, 2016
Hawthorn
@HawthornFC why do we have a home game at Etihad when we play 4 in Tasmania already? Smh
— sarah (@bergs3peat) October 26, 2016
@AFL @HawthornFC v @GeelongCats always a good game.
— lachy mclean (@lachy_mclean) October 26, 2016
Find it odd @HawthornFC only get 2 friday night games only.
— Naim 3PTHFC ✌ (@goldandbrown4) October 26, 2016
Yes I know we get 2 Thursday night but we did finish top 4 #aflfixture
Melbourne
@melbournefc @MCG obviously have to wait and see but looks like a good run home. Feels like something special is happening at the D's.
— Cold One 501 (@grazy501) October 26, 2016
@melbournefc @MCG That's a good draw! No 'Home' games at Etihad!
— Chris Gold (@Goldy_1981) October 26, 2016
North Melbourne
@NMFCOfficial Looks good!! Much easier than previous years!
— Johnny (@Johnnycee94) October 26, 2016
Would it really kill the @AFL to give North a second game at the MCG?
— Franz Inot (@FranzInot) October 26, 2016
Port Adelaide
@PAFC Not enough games in Vic. Nor early enough..first is in May. Tougher draw than this year. Maybe thats a good thing.
— C.M (@chrismwriter76) October 26, 2016
Who puts a showdown on a Sunday twilight. seriously It's a joke how we are used like this. #fixture #afl #2017
— Ryan Birse (@Rabman1996) October 26, 2016
Richmond
So @Richmond_FC have to travel to @GeelongCats. Seriously @AFL . The last time we went there only 200 Richmond supporters got tickets.
— Glen Weidemann (@weedo04) October 26, 2016
Call me biased, but Richmond should have a few Friday night games. 3rd most members in the country deserve at least a couple #AFLFixture
— Tom Nelson (@TomNelson13) October 26, 2016
St Kilda
When the @AFL changes the @stkildafc and melbourne game from Sunday to a Saturday!!! #THANKYOU #FixtureLaunch pic.twitter.com/J1UrXLO333
— Jayden Cameron (@_jcameron24_) October 26, 2016
@stkildafc Launceston Saints Supporter Group are stoked with a Launnie game again!! #GoSaints
— Ree (@St_Ree) October 26, 2016
Sydney Swans
.@afl rubs salt into @sydneyswans wounds by scheduling the Dogs flag unfurling against them. #aflfixture #goswans
— Karol (@Lorakf) October 26, 2016
Swans best team all yeardogs premierscrows, saints and giants played most exciting style good job @AFL https://t.co/S79ADRVAeP
