Fixture 2024 Fixture

Tough draw? It’s a tough competition.

Tougher for some than for others and made even tougher when the PAFC cannot get it's house in order.

 

[Del165198]

As long as the fans get the highly anticipated Carlton vs Richmond blockbuster to kick off the season it's all good

 

[EskimoPAFC]

What the * is the point of making Round 1 a split round?

Because its provocative! It gets the people going!

Remember in 2014 against Brisbane when we wore our old home jumper to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of our 2004 flag?



I wonder if we’ll do the same thing next year to mark 20 years?

I hope so. It's a great way to remind people what was achieved by the club that year.

Helps load the pressure on Donuts.

If we play Brisbane at home, I'm sure it will happen.

 

[RangaInTeal]

25th anniversary… but we will trade out the black for Silver/Grey to celebrate the Silver anniversary.

 

[Ports1870]

Can’t wait for the 2028 season when we wear a donuts themed jumper to celebrate 15 years since the birth of the Ken Hinkley Football Club.

 

[NoddyHolder]

I hope so. It's a great way to remind people what was achieved by the club that year.

Helps load the pressure on Donuts.

we'll probably bring back the icecream vendor abomination for the lols, with bonus expectation minimisation. 'Don't you remember where we were in (checks notes) 2009?

Hope chokito has that correctly attributed in his book.

We genuinely could run with this one, it's still an 04 Guernsey.


Doesn't seem to be any nostalgia for it whatsoever so feels like it would be a perfect "they'll like what I tell them to like" Port Power throwback

Adelaide is pushing to avoid off-Broadway venues in 2024 as the Crows look for a better fixturing run from the AFL.
And they also want more marquee match-ups at Adelaide Oval next year. The Crows are hopeful about their fixture requests in the wake of the controversial way their 2023 season ended, but also because of their high-scoring game style. The Crows played games in Launceston, Ballarat, Geelong and Darwin over a seven week period in 2023. The game in Ballarat was the second year in a row that the Crows had taken on the Western Bulldogs in regional Victoria. The Crows are hoping that instead of these regional venues they can get fixtures at more “prime venues”, such as the MCG. Clubs have lodged their fixture requests with the league for the 2024 season and it is understood a reduction in trips to regional venues is a key part of what the Crows are pushing for.
Crows chairman John Olsen has flagged this as part of the “redress” he would push for after the goal line controversy that ended Adelaide’s hopes of finals in Round 23 against Sydney – when Ben Keays

’ shot was wrongly ruled as touching the post in the dying stages of the Swans’ one-point win. On the home front it is understood the Crows are hoping for more high-profile fixtures at Adelaide Oval with just the one stand-alone prime time clash in 2023, to open Gather Round against Carlton. The Crows scoring the most points in the home-and-away season has also been put forward as part of Adelaide’s bid for a better fixturing run in 2024.

Port Adelaide’s fixture requests are understood to centre around hosting a game in Anzac Round, which is a key priority for the Power, as well as getting a prime time slot in Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

I would unironically be all for this. I loved this as a kid, and would love to see it again. Knowing the club though they'd find a way to butcher it.

We get a shyt draw most years no matter what happened the year before.

 

[Andre]

We get a shyt draw most years no matter what happened the year before.

The fixturing goes:
1. Big Vic clubs

Daylight

2a. Small Vic Clubs
2b. Adelaide/Sydney/Brisbane/West Coast - the 'Big' club in each target market (depending on what the AFL wants to achieve, sometimes parts of group 2a and 2b can swap, but this is the default)

3. GC/GWS (to try to boost their support)

Daylight

4. Port and Fremantle

Along with Fremantle, we are literally the fillers, used to complete games each round. Short of the removal of the Vic monopoly, the best we can hope for is to reach level 2b above. With Tassie coming in soon, they will (at least for a couple of years), likely sit between the small Vic clubs and the 'big' non-Vic clubs, relegating us to even more of an afterthought. We had a virtual monopoly on Sunday games in our Premiership defense year, FFS.

 

[Capital Power]

It really makes no difference. We'll finish where our owners are happy for us to finish. We're good enough to beat anyone, anywhere, but we won't.

I think of that as the Brain Aneurysm jumper

 

[Marmozet]

And Rory will be firing off a barrage of twiXts if it's a minute late.

lol - pre-emptive outrage

 

[Alberton Proud]

I hope we get the toughest draw ever seen

The last thing we need is more excuses.

 

[Alberton Proud]

The last thing we need is more excuses.

The last thing we need is Kenny winning games

 

[240volt]

All hell will break loose if we are winning.
Anyway can just roll out the old bs and say Carr has taken over coaching again.
There’s an excuse for every occasion.

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

The last thing we need is more excuses.

Tough draw or easy draw - we are getting excuses regardless.

Here we come Ballarat.....

What's Koch pushing for? for us to stop upsetting Ken?
