RICHMOND will play 14 games at the MCG in 2015, including six monster blockbusters against Carlton (twice), Collingwood (twice) and Essendon (twice).

The Tigers will also have up to six Saturday afternoon games, according to The Age.

It has been confirmed by the AFL that Richmond and Carlton will kick-off the 2015 season with their traditional round one clash on Thursday, April 2. This will be an away game for Richmond.
 
Then the Tigers will most likely face the Western Bulldogs back at the MCG in round two, the report says.
 
A desire to play on Anzac Day eve - which will be a Friday night - is also set to be fulfilled, with the Tigers expected to host Melbourne in round four. Both clubs hope to make the Anzac Day eve clash a regular fixture.
 
Richmond is scheduled to play only one match at bogy ground Etihad Stadium, against North Melbourne, next year and is tipped to have just one trip to Perth - most likely to take on Fremantle.
 
The Tigers will play the Dreamtime at the 'G game against Essendon on a Saturday night in May.

All Saturday night games in Melbourne will start 20 minutes earlier in 2015 to make it more attractive to families. Saturday night starts have typically been at 7.40pm AEST.

Richmond is expected to match Collingwood's 14 appearances at the MCG next season – a jump of two games from 2014.

The full fixture will be revealed on Thursday, October 30.
