Adelaide is likely to kick off its 2014 campaign against Geelong at Simonds Stadium on a Thursday night in the second week of Round One according to AFL.com.au.

The Crows are hopeful Round One could be one of several Thursday/Friday night fixtures, including some at the revamped Adelaide Oval, for the Club this season. Chief Executive Steven Trigg said Adelaide was keen to be part of the Thursday night football landscape in 2014.

"Our indications are that we will have opportunities with Thursday night and Friday night football, on the back of being a traditionally high-ranking finals participant,” Trigg told The Advertiser.

"We're quietly confident of Thursday nights. There will be more Thursday night games than the one before Good Friday.''

If Adelaide faces Geelong in the opening round there is a chance former Cat James Podsiadly will be playing against his old club.

Round one will be spread across two weekends, starting on Friday March 14. It is believed there will be four games across the first weekend and five in the second, with the Cats-Crows clash to kick things off in week two on March 20.

The following night, North Melbourne is tipped to host Essendon at Etihad Stadium. Gold Coast is expected to kick off its season at home in the first week against Richmond.

Greater Western Sydney has requested to play the Sydney Swans in the first instalment of the 'Battle of the Bridge' for 2014. Swans recruit Lance Franklin could therefore start his career in the red and white at the Giants' home ground of Skoda Stadium. 

The fixture remains in draft form and is subject to change up until its official launch on October 31. The AFL won't comment before then.

2014 membership launches soon, with packages starting from just $50 or $25 for a junior member. Register your interest in joining the Club.
