Strong recommend for a pre-game lunch on the Saturday:

2KW Bar & Restaurant - 2KW Bar & Restaurant

Well this is awkward

I will be trying to organise a work meeting in Adelaide on the Friday .

Same here, and I don't even have an office there.

Seems we're at Norwood Oval again, not AO...

That's more like it. How dare the reigning premier even consider having delusions of grandeur.

Adelaide Kardinia park it is

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Was considering flying down if we were involved in a triple header. Hard pass now

Saturday Norwood is the worst of all worlds. Rules you out of the double header at AO.

Meh, if the first game is Carlton v West Coast as per Tom's tweet earlier it's no great loss. Will be able to get there in time for the evening game.

Carlton v West Coast and Dees v Essendon at AO. How do we get Norwood out of those two games??

 

[McIvor]

Why didn't we get our SA buddies, North again?

How is Norwood Oval even used for AFL; may as well have it at bloody Hindmarsh Oval. So not fit for purpose for AFL.

Better than getting sent out to Lyndoch.

I would have preferred an Adelaide Oval neutral game but at least we didn't cop whoop whoop like 2023 or the Gaz game like last year.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Planning a trip to gather round with a mate. How hard is it to get tickets. We want to head over Wednesday and fly back Monday. He is a Port fan so Sunday night blockbuster to finish will be good.

 

[Nathan Barley]

I think we’d be happy to compromise for an average gather round game if that means an extra blockbuster at the Gabba or MCG

Looks like they are not doing double header at Áo this year. Previous years one ticket/ seat for both games. Presumably they are clearing out ÁO while our game is on and doubling their revenue

They have the Bulldogs listed first there, so I would assume that means it will be their home game?
So if we do happen to play them again next year then it should be at the Gabba.
That’s a positive.

Provided you have enough member barcodes to get into the members pre-sale then it is simple enough. I didn't have a problem either of the last 2 years.

While BigFooty and Twitter melts down about the thought of the reigning premier being "shafted", it's also possible that there is another motivation at bay... This from a club survey I completed in October 2023:

For Gather Round, we should make a point of requesting to play at Norwood or the regional venue. This way we avoid a 12th "away" game against Adelaide or Port.

In addition we also breed venue familiarity relative to our opposition. Having played at Norwood this year will absolutely be to our advantage compared to the Bulldogs.

Outstanding detective work

Now watch us cop Ballarat anyway

 

[KissKiss]

Im kinda happy as it means playing the dogs at a neutral venue - less likely to play them at Ballarat.

Plus we might get a game against North in Melbourne that would likely be a Sunday arvo game - likely low crowd and easy game to take my 2 year old to a game

Surely not.

Herald Sun: Opening Round fixture

The most BS concept ever introduced in the game with next to no rational basis.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Why couldn’t we get the Hawks instead of the Cats!
