THE 2017 AFL fixture will be released on Thursday morning.

Clubs have been submitting their fixture requests to get the best on-field and financial outcomes.

Friday night fixtures remain at the top of club wish lists, while six-day breaks and travel in consecutive weeks are on the nose.

Our reporters have checked in with every club to see what they want from the fixture, and picked out the round that fans will be first to circle on Thursday.

What they'll want: The Lions like to have a decent number of games in Victoria so former Fitzroy fans have the chance to watch them play. They had seven this year, including one in Geelong. After a tough start to 2016 (round one this year was an away assignment versus West Coast) the Lions would like a cushier run early on to commence Chris Fagan's reign as coach.

The game the fans will be looking for: The QClash in round one against Gold Coast will be at Metricon Stadium but a return clash at the Gabba would have the crowd involved every time former Lion Pearce Hanley touches the ball. - Dinny Navaratnam
