James Hird's first game back as coach of Essendon will be at ANZ Stadium on the opening Saturday afternoon against the Sydney Swans. It remains to be seen how strong a side the Bombers will be able to field, depending on the outcome of the ASADA saga.

Strange that we're not playing GWS in round 1...any idea whether it's ANZ, SCG or TBA?

[Livid_Swan]

I did read ANZ somewhere on BigFooty.

[Norris Lurker]

The article on the AFL website says it's at the SCG. First bounce 4:40pm.

The AFL is starting its drip feed of draw information again and the footy media is obediently whipping up a frenzy. According to them, the Lions/Pies game is a "blockbuster" because Beams has defected to the Lions. Sigh.

So pleased we play a team other than GWS in round 1.

According to Swans on twitter its at ANZ

"ICYMI last night - we'll take on Essendon on Easter Saturday @ANZStadium in Round 1, 2015. Put it in the calendar! #goswans"

Now deletes reference to the ANZ paddock

Ah. That explains a lot.
I saw a reference to a tweet on FB, and then when I went to look there was no reference to ANZ Stadium.

Really hope it's at SCG. I think bombers at the SCG is a great start. Much better than GWS. However if bomber players get suspended for doping the conspiracy theorists will be out in force saying the AFL purposefully arranged the game to hand the swans a win.

According to the telegraph we will play the Giants at the SCG in round 3.

This was changed after I checked when I posted, but then what do you expect from an organisation that makes rules up as they go.

Probably end playing Fremantle in Port Moresby

According to the telegraph we will play the Giants at the SCG in round 3.

Most concering part of that article is the suggestion that the NRL will play Canterbury vs Souths at ANZ on Friday Night, meaning a turn around of less than 24 hours before the Bombers match

[barry]

Suspended bombers means we should be on top after round 1.

But we said that this year!

AFL plans a fan-friendly 2015 fixture

Some good news in relation to the draw - Saturday night starts coming a bit forward to 7.20 instead of 7.40/7.50. Its only 20 or 30 minutes, but I'm certainly happy to see the change made.
