There are several marquee matches to be held through the 2017 Bendigo Bank season with the grand final replay between Navarre FNC and Carisbrook FNC to be held on Saturday 27th May 2017.
Other key features of the 2017 season include:

The season will commence the week after Easter with no games scheduled for the weekends of the 13th May 2017 for the WorkSafe AFL Victoria Community Championships and Queens Birthday on June 10th/11th.
After circulating a draft fixture to clubs at the 2016 AGM, feedback was received from clubs which assisted in the finalization of the 2017 fixture. Clubs had previously been requested to provide a wish list of games they would prefer, with most of these requests being catered for.
Themed rounds will be added at a later date once all AFL Goldfields Leagues have finalised their draws to ensure all themes can be rolled out across all competitions.
The 2017 Bendigo Bank MCDFNL junior fixture will be released in early 2017 after further consultation with clubs around their team’s affiliations for the season.
