AFL DRAW FOR 2009 RELEASED; SEVEN GAMES AT GEELONG
Ben Jensen 30 October 2009

By Ben Jensen THE AFL has released the official draw for 2010, the last fixtures to feature sixteen teams. 2010 DRAW SPREADSHEET. Geelong opens their season by playing Essendon in a home fixture at the MCG, and play the first game at Skilled Stadium in round four against Port Adelaide. Overall the Cats play seven games at the MCG including three home games, but controversially only seven at Skilled Stadium. Cats CEO Brian Cook confirmed he was aware there would be only seven 'proper home' games, and would be offering cheaper membership packages for 2010.

"We've had two or three discussions (since the draft draw was released) and none have been fruitful in relation to the changes we wanted. Our success has also come with some negatives and this is one of them because we'd like to have the eight games at Skilled Stadium, but the AFL couldn't accommodate that," Cook said. President Frank Costa though wasn't worried. "It (the draw) is great for our supporters, but also for our players as well".
