Fixture 2023 Fixture

[Taylor]

That's great except there is absolutely no guarantee GC (or any other side) is an easy side and the AFL is dumb if they think they can predict that.

The "fairest" way is to just accept that the host teams get a 1 game leg-up each year (not necessarily the case when Vics host), 2 teams get shafted and the rest get a neutral.

It's absolutely a neutral venue for us, but I'm not expecting us to get to play Gold Coast at Optus too and we would be third behind Geelong and Brisbane for finals teams getting to choose out of WC/North/GC for the side they play.

So based on what we currently know:

R1: v St Kilda @ Marvel (Sun twilight)
R2: v Opponent TBC @ Optus (Time TBC)
R3: v WCE @ Optus (Sun twilight)
R4: v Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval (time TBC)
R5: v GCS @ Norwood (Fri arvo)
R6: v Opponent TBC @ Optus (Time TBC)

Note, round 6 is ANZAC Weekend so it is highly likely this would either be Saturday or Sunday night.

Round 4 and 5 are the other way around

 

[Wizard]

Round 4 and 5 are the other way around

My mistake. So that likely means we get an extended break leading into a Sunday night ANZAC Weekend clash.

Happy with this to be honest

Is the GC game in SA really scheduled for 3.10pm WA time on a weekday?

really?

Yeah we had a choice of then or midnight on Wednesday. Not sure why we didn't take the primetime when offered?

 

[88mph]

Happy with this to be honest

Agree.

We will have limited travel in the first 6 rounds. Great start to the season.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Also as we're listed first, does this count as a home game for us?

Each team gets 11 home + 11 away + plus this abomination. "Home" teams in Gather Round are the teams listed first alphabetically.

Port and Adelaide the only teams to get a true advantage.

cup v Melbourne round 2 at Optus, judging from what we know of other fixtures and the AFL love of drama

 

[Square Peg]

But just another little snub from the AFL to add to the memory banks that will make the first flag just that little bit sweeter.

I'm pretty much at the point where I would rather win the inaugural flag of the Gina-Twiggy breakaway league.

 

[Spirit Level]

So based on what we currently know:

R1: v St Kilda @ Marvel (Sun twilight)
R2: v Opponent TBC @ Optus (Time TBC)
R3: v WCE @ Optus (Sun twilight)
R4: v Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval (time TBC)
R5: v GCS @ Norwood (Fri arvo)
R6: v Opponent TBC @ Optus (Time TBC)

Note, round 6 is ANZAC Weekend so it is highly likely this would either be Saturday or Sunday night.

When you write it down it looks like a fairly cruisy start to the season (touch wood).

I'd say round 2 will be against the Bulldogs and Round 6 will be against either Carlton or Melbourne

 

[Joose]

Why is anybody surprised as to how the club is treated by the AFL? Will always be the case.

The only way to stick it up them is to win the flag.

 

[BStaff17]

I believe we are playing in Adelaide in round 4.

Hub in Adelaide for a week.

The lads are used too it by now.

 

[Diverbelow]

Round 2

So based on what we currently know:

R1: v St Kilda @ Marvel (Sun twilight)
R2: v Opponent TBC @ Optus (Time TBC)
R3: v WCE @ Optus (Sun twilight)
R4: v Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval (time TBC)
R5: v GCS @ Norwood (Fri arvo)
R6: v Opponent TBC @ Optus (Time TBC)

I'd say round 2 will be against the Bulldogs and Round 6 will be against either Carlton or Melbourne

I am thinking round 2 will be against the roos.

 

[Taylor]

I am thinking round 2 will be against the roos.

Well hopefully none of our players refer to it as a juicy or tasty start to the season because if so we might have expectations of 6-0 to start the year.

...and that's too good to dream

This drip feed of fixtures is an absolute farce but it’s just par for the course for those jumped up idiots at AFL house.
I wonder do they just go on massive random coke binges to figure out the next dumb idea to inflict on AFL fans?
Travis Auld today responding to the release of games with the Socceroos match last week:
“It is what it it”
I mean, WTF? That’s the kind of quip I’d expect from a love island contestant not a senior executive of a major sporting organisation.

It’s bull shit. I want to buy some flights and I can only do one weekend. Sort it out AFL!

 

[BettercallSaul]

Is the GC game in SA really scheduled for 3.10pm WA time on a weekday?

really?

If so it is a disgrace. Complete lack of respect for the club and it’s supporters. I’m retired so no issue for me but for the majority it would be difficult.

Yeah AFL executives have a jealousy complex with all other sports in Australia.

 

[FreoRicci]

After playing at Norwood, Fremantle would have played at 23 different venues in their history.

 

[FreoRicci]

They know their place. AFL, as great as it is, won’t captivate Australians or the world like FIFA World Cup has and does.

Bet the fixtures will be released coincide with the World Cup final or another release on Sunday due to quarter final.

 

[MadMundy]

Just release the full fixture now for **** sake. What are they waiting for? I've had quicker shits than this.

 

[Joao]

If they're normally longer than this, probs go see a doctor.
