This year’s fixture closely aligns with AFL programs, given the involvement of AFL-listed players from 14 AFL clubs and the shared resources across these clubs.
The release of rounds one and two coincides with the current release of the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership Season fixture and is central to the fixturing of the season.
All clubs will have three allocated byes to provide an added level of flexibility.
The Demons will have to wait until round four before their first home game, which has been scheduled against the Sydney Swans.
