The AFL has released the fixtures for Round 7 and 8, with the Tigers taking centre stage on Friday night.

Richmond hosts the Bulldogs to open Round 7 before the Grand Final rematch the following week.

The leagues continues to release the fixture in small blocks given the border uncertainty around the country.

It will be a big fortnight of football, containing the Derby, the Showdown and a few other big rivalries.
