Preview 2023 Fixture - hopes, dreams, dreads

[TubbsFarquhar]

First time since 2015 we'll play the Giants there (the only away game we've played since was in Canberra). I guess it's one of those weird fixture quirks like Carlton and the Bulldogs who rarely play here.

We were meant to play them there in 2020.

I still have flight credit from that abandoned trip

Getting ready for multiple Sunday home games, hate Sunday games.

Especially late afternoon or twilight slots (4PM). No 2:40PM games as they will be on free to air TV, not an issue for Port though.

Last time we played the Giants Rd 1 it set up a minor premiership so you can basically get in the bin if you don't think the lid is off after hearing this omen.

Magic Round games at Mt Barker and The Parade. Crows v Carlton at Adelaide Oval to kick it off. (Channel 9 report).

No Barossa or are these the additional ones?

Why Norwood? Does it have a bigger capacity than other local grounds? Sturt is much more family friendly venue as we found out this season with AFLW

 

[George Kramer]

If we’ve got a home game, how does that work the number of home games we will have? Is it a bonus or included in the 12, can’t see us getting that much of an advantage

The strong whisper is that Magic Round will run from 13 – 17 April.

And Collingwood vs St Kilda is on Sunday 16 April at Adelaide Oval (most likely a 4pm start)

It’s a bonus (so 13/24 games in SA)

I guess it’s has the most grandstand seating, but I’m surprised the AFL saw the brick wall on the western side of the ground and said, ‘Yep, this ground is good for AFL’

Still trying to talk the ground down, you said we wouldn’t get one game and now it’s 2!!

The home of football will always win out over negativity

I'm happy Kane called out the AFL about how Vic centric round 1 is and how poor the interstate match up are and how all the marquee timeslot are exclusively Vic teams.

It is a national competition, yet they continue to shaft non Vic teams

I mean, festival of footy in the festival state makes sense...

Gather Round?

Probably should have hid the announcement during a socceroos game instead

Hurry up and release the fixture already I want to plan next year.... In particular a wedding so need to know some dates so it doesn't clash with the footy

Maybe a couple of stories from a few posters could change that

Why the **** are you scheduling a wedding between March and November.

You have a 3 month period from December through February where you're free from Football. This is wedding season.

High chance it'll be Adelaide Oval.... The ceremony would be just outside so technically anyone could come to that but the reception inside under a marquee on the Training pitches will be private guests only.
