The clubs have issued their wish lists for next years draw. Taken from the AFL website.
Richmond
Richmond has asked the league to schedule the majority of its matches on Friday nights and Saturdays in 2004. Tigers director of football Greg Miller indicated that Sunday was the club’s ‘least preferred day’ to play football. Of the club’s 11 home matches in 2003, seven were at the MCG, with four at Telstra Dome.
Part of Richmond’s agreement with Telstra Dome is that those four matches must include games against Victorian teams. “We’re not to play just four interstate teams at Telstra Dome. They’ve got to be some reasonably good games. That’s part of the agreement,” Miller said. Miller also confirmed that the club is happy to play Carlton in a twilight game on Good Friday next year. If that should fall-through, the Tigers are seeking to continue with the Easter Monday match with St. Kilda.
Another tradition Richmond is seeking to preserve with is the season-opener with Collingwood. The club is also in discussions Essendon regarding a match on the Mother’s Day weekend to be played on Saturday afternoon. “We think we can do something special on Mother’s Day with Essendon but we prefer to do it on the Saturday when our mothers can come along and relax and then have their family day on the Sunday,” Miller said.
Miller acknowledges the difficulty of playing matches on Mother’s Day, recalling his time at the Kangaroos when only 12,400 fans turned up to see them play the Dockers.
Richmond’s five interstate trips in 2003 included two visits to both Perth and Adelaide. Miller thinks four games outside Victoria would be ideal in 2004, noting that Richmond has played Fremantle at Subiaco Oval every year since 1999.
