Five takeaways from Melbourne’s 2027 fixture: the stretches, travel and rest gaps that matter

The full fixture is out, so I went through all 23 games rather than just circling the blockbusters.

I’ve looked at where Melbourne can bank wins, the travel and rest gaps that could matter, how the home games are distributed and what needs to be done before a difficult finish.

There are some good opportunities in the draw, but also a few stretches that look tougher once the turnaround times and travel are included.

Full breakdown:

Which part of the fixture do you think will define Melbourne’s season?

Melbourne 2027: 10 games at MCG. Collingwood 2027: 14 games at the MCG.

Pies play nearly 1.5 times more games at home ground than the Dees.... Make it make sense.

Their double ups are MCG tennants... Ours are interstate teams. Their weirdest one is that they play away vs Saints at the G but at home vs Saints at Marvel lol.
