The AFL Fixture for 2018 has been released.

Gary Ablett will return to the Gold Coast as a Cat in Round 11, while Collingwood takes on traditional rivals Richmond, Essendon, and Carlton twice.

North Melbourne and St Kilda will play on Good Friday.

With Anzac Day falling on a Wednesday, Melbourne and Richmond will play on Tuesday in Round 5 so Collingwood and Essendon are not overly disadvantaged the following Sunday.

The bye rounds are Round 12-14 (excluding Port and Gold Coast, who have a bye in Round 10 after their match in China).

There will be seven Thursday night games.

Some other key moments include: 

  • Jack Watts v Melbourne: Round 14
  • Jake Stringer v Western Bulldogs: Round 3
  • Steven Motlop v Geelong: Round 5
  • Adelaide v Richmond: Rounds 2 & 16
  • Anzac Day: Round 5
