Check out how your club fared in the 2010 AFL home-and-away fixture released on Friday.
ADELAIDE:
The Good: Avoids a trip to Geelong but gets six away games in Melbourne as requested by the Crows as they seek to play more games in Victoria in a bid to improve their recent poor finals record.
The Bad: Faces a testing end to the season with matches against West Coast in Perth in Round 15 followed by a home game against reigning premier Geelong, the second showdown against Port and has Brisbane at the Gabba in Round 20, Collingwood at the MCG in Round 21 before finishing with a home game against this year's runner-up St Kilda.
The Ugly: Misses out on a Round 1 home game when it goes to Fremantle and has to play a twilight home game on Mothers' Day - the toughest day on the calendar to draw a crowd - against lowly Richmond at AAMI Stadium which won't make the Crows' bean counters too happy.
BRISBANE LIONS:
The Good: Starts the season with two home games at the Gabba including an Easter Thursday blockbuster against Carlton in Round 2 in what will be the first time boom recruit Brendan Fevola plays against his old side and finishes the season with a home game as well against Sydney.
The Bad: Goes to AAMI Stadium twice in the first nine rounds and has to play reigning premier Geelong twice, including at Skilled Stadium in Round 17.
The Ugly: Coach Michael Voss better hope he has all his new big gun recruits up and firing by Rounds 15-17 when his team faces a horror stretch starting with a home game against this year's runner-up St Kilda followed by trips to Tasmania and Skilled Stadium respectively to play the premiers of the last two seasons in Hawthorn and Geelong.
Club reaction: "The club's major drawcards are the two Thursday night blockbusters we have against Carlton and these games will see our high-profile trade-week recruit Brendan Fevola up against his former Blues team-mates, alongside our captain and fellow goal-kicking powerhouse Jonathan Brown," Brisbane Lions chief executive Michael Bowers said.
CARLTON:
The Good: Has been drawn to play in just about every prime date next season with two Thursday night blockbusters against Brisbane, a Monday night clash against St Kilda and a Monday Anzac Day public holiday clash against Geelong - all games certain to draw huge crowds.
The Bad: Faces three interstate trips in the opening eight rounds.
The Ugly: Has to go to Perth to face Fremantle in the last round when it could be either playing for a finals spot or will be desperate to avoid such a gruelling last round trip if already qualified for the September action.
Club reaction: "The home game against Geelong at the MCG on the Anzac Day Monday holiday is a stand alone game and should be a great game with a huge crowd and big television audience," Carlton chief executive Greg Swann said.
COLLINGWOOD:
The Good: Plays 18 games in Victoria and 14 at the MCG and doesn't travel until Round 8 while it is also the home team for the annual Anzac Day clash against Essendon.
The Bad: Faces each of its fellow top-four sides from last year in Geelong, St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs twice as well as 2008 premiers Hawthorn.
The Ugly: Cops a genuinely daunting Round 1 away assignment at Etihad Stadium against a Bulldogs team that will be pumped to the hilt for captain Brad Johnson's 350th game.
Club reaction: "2010 will be an exciting year with Collingwood hosting Victorian-based powerhouse clubs including Hawthorn, Essendon, Geelong, Western Bulldogs, St Kilda, Carlton, Richmond and Melbourne. All of these games are expected to generate huge crowds," Collingwood chief executive Gary Pert said.
ESSENDON:
The Good: Plays the most games of any team in its own state with a staggering 19 of its 22 games in Melbourne next year.
The Bad: Only plays likely strugglers Melbourne, Richmond and North Melbourne once.
The Ugly: Plays all top-four teams from last year in Geelong, St Kilda, Bulldogs and Collingwood twice as well as arch-rival Hawthorn.
Club reaction: "This is a blockbuster draw for Essendon and is great for our fans - it shows that the AFL and broadcasters view us as a club that is on the rise and plays an attacking, courageous brand of football that should be showcased," Essendon chief executive Ian Robson said.
FREMANTLE:
The Good: Misses out on a trip to Skilled Stadium for the first time in four seasons and begins and ends the season at Subiaco against Adelaide and Carlton respectively.
The Bad: Does not play a single game at the MCG, despite club requests for half of its matches in Victoria to be played there, and instead plays all six Victorian matches in 2010 at Etihad Stadium where it has won just one of its past 12 matches.
The Ugly: Will certainly want to win its opening round home game against Adelaide because after that the Dockers face Essendon at Etihad, reigning premier Geelong at Subiaco and this year's runner-up St Kilda back at Etihad.
Club reaction: "There are a range of issues that you examine each year when the fixtures are released but our members and supporters can look forward to quality encounters at home against some of the AFL's heavyweights in season 2010," Fremantle chief executive Steve Rosich said.
GEELONG:
The Good: Incredibly the reigning premier only plays its grand final rival from this season in St Kilda once in 2010 and the game is on neutral territory at the MCG in Round 13. And the Cats also face another leading contender in the Bulldogs only once next season.
The Bad: Only gets seven home games at Skilled Stadium next year compared to its usual number of eight.
The Ugly: Faces only a six-day break before travelling to Perth in Round 3 to take on Fremantle and will be coming off a potentially gruelling Easter Monday clash against 2008 premier Hawthorn.
HAWTHORN:
The Good: Has only three genuine away interstate matches after getting 12 matches at the MCG in addition to its four home games as usual in Launceston.
The Bad: Faces three of last year's top-four teams in Geelong, Bulldogs and Collingwood in successive weeks from Rounds 2-4.
The Ugly: Successive interstate visits to Port Adelaide and Sydney come up in Round 18 and 19 at what is likely to be a critical time in the Hawks season.
Club reaction: "We have been able to work closely with the AFL to establish strong features in our draw, particularly increasing MCG-based games against co-tenant clubs," Hawthorn acting chief executive Terry Dillon said.
MELBOURNE:
The Good: Plays its first eight matches in Victoria.
The Bad: It's once-only games against this year's grand finalists Geelong and St Kilda are both away at Skilled and Etihad Stadium respectively.
The Ugly: Melbourne's debut home game in Darwin comes up against Port Adelaide in Round 9 but then the club will face having to back up from playing in the gruelling heat of the Top End against of all teams - Geelong at Geelong - the following week.
NORTH MELBOURNE:
The Good: Only plays two of last year's top-eight teams twice in St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs and plays 10 of its last 12 games in Victoria.
The Bad: Despite pioneering Friday night football, the Roos get just one Friday night game next season against Carlton.
The Ugly: Only eight of the Kangaroos' games will be shown on free-to-air television in 2010 denying the battling club vital television exposure while of its five Saturday afternoon home games - three are against non-Victorian clubs and the other two are against low-drawing Victorian clubs in Melbourne and the Bulldogs.
Club reaction: "This is an excellent draw purely from a football perspective with a good spread of interstate matches and reasonable breaks between games but from a commercial point of view the draw will be challenging," North Melbourne chief executive Eugene Arocca said.
PORT ADELAIDE:
The Good: Has four of its first six games and four of its last six games at AAMI Stadium.
The Bad: Has to go to Perth twice and Darwin twice.
The Ugly: Meets St Kilda twice while its once-only clash against Geelong is at Skilled Stadium.
RICHMOND:
The Good: Gets 12 games at the MCG, one more than last year and its last nine games are all in Victoria.
The Bad: Plays St Kilda twice while its only clash against Geelong is at Skilled Stadium.
The Ugly: Five interstate trips plus a trip to Geelong in the first 13 rounds will make life tough for coach Damien Hardwick to get instant improvement in his first year in charge.
Club reaction: "From a commercial perspective the draw will be challenging and now more than ever we will be calling on our loyal members and fans to continue to support the club in record numbers," Richmond chief executive Brendon Gale said.
ST KILDA:
The Good: Plays its two toughest opponents from this season in Geelong and the Western Bulldogs just once each as well as 2008 premier and likely 2010 improver Hawthorn.
The Bad: Gets two interstate games in the first five rounds.
The Ugly: Cops two gruelling trips to Perth in the month before it takes on Geelong in the grand final re-match in Round 13.
SYDNEY:
The Good: Gets a blockbuster start to the season with a home game against this year's runner-up St Kilda at ANZ Stadium in Round 1.
The Bad: Has to play reigning premier Geelong twice and is one of just seven teams that has to take the Cats on at Skilled Stadium and only gets one pseudo home game in Canberra compared to two in past years.
The Ugly: Goes to Perth (Fremantle) and Brisbane within the last three rounds.
Club reaction: "We feel the 2010 fixture presents the right balance for Swans members as well as AFL fans in Sydney," Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland said.
WEST COAST EAGLES:
The Good: Unlike local rivals Fremantle, West Coast gets to play at the AFL's premier venue - the MCG - in 2010 where it has two matches and will have an extra day to prepare for both western derbies this season than their arch-rivals.
The Bad: Plays reigning premier Geelong twice as well likely big improvers Brisbane.
The Ugly: Starts and ends the season with testing interstate trips to Brisbane and Geelong (at Skilled Stadium) respectively.
Club reaction: "We had requested fewer night games and fewer six-day breaks, so we're happy with the outcome in that respect," West Coast football operations manager Neale Daniher said.
WESTERN BULLDOGS:
The Good: Is finally being acknowledged as one of the AFL's most exciting sides by being slated for five Friday night games in 2010 and gets a blockbuster opening to the season with a home game against Collingwood in what will be captain Brad Johnson's 350th game. And only travels interstate once in the first seven rounds and only goes to Perth once.
The Bad: Doesn't play its annual home game against Port Adelaide in Darwin during the split round - as has been the case in recent seasons - meaning it will only have the normal week to recover from playing in the oppressive Top End heat before facing Fremantle (in Melbourne in Round 17).
The Ugly: Tough end to the season with clashes against Adelaide (AAMI), Geelong (Etihad) and Sydney in Sydney from Round 19-21.
Club reaction: "Our season begins with a home fixture against Collingwood in captain Brad Johnson's 350th game and we see this as a fantastic opportunity for us to celebrate one of the greatest players to ever wear the red, white and blue," Bulldogs chief executive Campbell Rose.
