As I type this it is now less than 14 weeks until the opening bounce of the season and still no fixture apart from round 1 and the "leaks" over the last few days and then when it does finally drop it is half baked and still not really officially ready.

 

[mikey127]

Scott Gullen saying fixture to drop sometime tomorrow so it can be in the Sunday papers

So Fremantle vs Gold Coast, at a Suburban oval, is going to be played at 3:10 Perth time? So the vast majority of Freo fans will be at work for the entire game and will miss it? Hell I'm in Queensland and I'll still miss the first quarter or so along with other Gold Coast fans. What the actual f***? How can one not be apoplectic at that horrendous afterthought of scheduling?!

The worst part is I'm certain the AFL spin machine will sell it as 'It's great, for your improved season last year we've rewarded you with this prime time Friday night game, don't say we don't give them to you".

F*** right off.

 

[mikey127]

Bulldogs v Lions round 3 will be a Friday night I believe

 

[Billy ray]

Dear Freo and Gold Coast fans

 

[Billy ray]

Freo host West coast in round 3 on sunday 320 local time.

 

[Spirit Level]

So a top 6 finish gets you shunted to a suburban ground on a Friday afternoon?

What a ****ing joke this league is

I wanted to go but I work in Melb until 6pm on a Friday so was planning to fly over after work but zero chance of that happening now!

You should be honoured that we allow you to play on that ground.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I’d be pretty pissed if I was a Freo fan, they finished top six last season and they get shunted out to a suburban oval in a timeslot when a large chunk of their fan base will still be at work.

Hey, I was right!

 

[Billy ray]

AFL getting into the advent calendar spirit!

Welcome to class year 4's
Gil - stop talking
Travis - take your finger out of your nose

Today we are talking timezones
let's start with this map

 

[Grasshopper17]

And don't forget that 45 minute limbo zone at the eastern end of WA

 

[Lach72]

This ****ing league man

 

[Sky]

2022 was 2007 all over again. We were far better than everyone but only Collingwood put up a fight.

If next year is 2008 then I’m expecting to go 21-1 and lose to a team like Carlton in the GF

 

[LB#16]

I was hoping that Essendon would be away from AO personally

AO is the entire attraction to make it worth the trip. Wouldn't be driving 7 hours for a game in the Barossa or whoop whoop and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Yeah they basically said "Brisbane and North Melbourne fans are not welcome". Evidently making us pay for Clarko and Fagan's "sins" one way or another...

Norwood is a 15 minute drive from AO. I wanted a suburban ground rather than a stadium.

Have you been to AO already though? I've got a suburban ground within walking distance here at home so I don't need to drive 7 hours to see one. Adelaide Oval is a bucket list item for me. Norwood would've locked out a lot of Essendon supporters from going. The AFL must not be expecting Brisbane fans to travel and North have a small fan base so it makes most sense to put them there if anyone was going to play there.

No, but I want to go to the cricket there rather than footy.

I just assumed Bris and North were at Norwood. Mount Barker? Geez.

 

[The Victorian]

Apparently Essendon are playing Gold Coast in Round 2 at Marvel Stadium
