2019 VFL Fixture Released
AFL Victoria have revealed a new naming rights partner for the Victorian Football League (VFL), with the competition to be called the Hard Yakka / Totally Workwear VFL in 2019.
Coinciding with the announcement, is the release of the much-anticipated 2019 VFL fixture.
To kick off the 2019 season, the Hawks will unfurl the premiership flag in a blockbuster Grand Final rematch against the Casey Demons in Round One, in what will be the first of nine home games for the year.
Damian Mascitti will face his old side in Round Three, when Box Hill and Port Melbourne return to the now upgraded Adcon Stadium, to relive a heart-stopping elimination final.
And the club will take on Sandringham, Casey, Richmond and Collingwood twice, with three byes scheduled for the 21 round season.
The VFL will also aim to increase its exposure to AFL fans in 2019, with the potential for more curtain-raiser games at the MCG, MARVEL Stadium and GMHBA Stadium; as well as an increase in double-headers with the Swisse Wellness Women’s VFL.
