Fixture 2025 draw any news or leaks? (Fixture Link in OP)

[Underarm]

The Essendon v Richmond Dreamtime Game is a designated "marquee" game has to be broadcast on Seven even if on Saturday.

7 Probably have to give up a game if they do broadcast a Saturday game, and they just decided to move it instead.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I lived in Sydney for 7 years. There is no good time to get to the SCG haha

Agree, but Saturday and Sunday are significantly easier. Having worked at Parra (I lived in Paddington for years until I moved a few months ago), it's a shocker of a drive. If it takes me less than 75 mins to get home I'm doing cartwheels.

 

[blueiris]

I prefer it in this timeslot, Friday night is a nightmare to get to, and thank the you know what they didn't put it on Thursday!

AS some who has children who plays sport on Saturday afternoons I feel duped it's probably the game I was looking for the most too

 

[FootyLad0]

Ours is leaked and you're not on our home game list.

Can't wait to play checks notes
Hawthron in Round 6

Trust me the feeling isn't mutual in looking forward to it, you flog us every time our coach is as bad as can be. Afternoon footy is good, I'd actually prefer it to be the Sunday afternoon slot.

It's been confirmed we have 3 x MCG games and the AFL has scheduled no Port game in Melbourne for the 3rd consecutive year. Still no JHF return.

Looking likely only 4 games in Melbourne next year for Us Victorian Lions members

with games in Geelong against Cats

and Tassie against North

Cats still count, and the bigger ground is easier to get tickets nowadays. We have decreased our MCG games at least you haven't!

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Every team should play 3 (exactly 3) away games at the MCG.

So long as the rort of a GF deal remains, a three game MCG minimum makes sense to me.

we would be lucky to get 2 games at the G the AFL often schedule as at Marvel it's also highly unlikely we get seats at the Cattery

I'd go further that out of state teams should get their last Melbourne game at the MCG regardless who it's against

Hey I'm not complaining about the G, we play horribly there

Welcome to the club as a Lions Member I can't remember the actual last time we played Hawks in Queensland

Watch them count the covid year or something but yeah when was the last time

 

[blueiris]

The Covid year was our round 1 Fixture at the G

 

[Grasshopper17]

2019. This is the immaturity of the AFL as an industry on full display, where the $ has a greater impact on the fixture than equity.

I shouldn't laugh mate

I do get it but I really wish they would try and not hide their bias and for goodness sakes out of Melbourne sides should get their last Melbourne game at the G regardless who that is against

 

[BStaff17]

Seriously when is it being released.

Drip feed 100 or so fixtures is a piss take.

Just release the whole thing.

Wheatley just said on SEN that he expects the fixture to drop at 1PM today

This right here. This is the problem. When did people start accepting the media line that the AFL is an industry first, and not a sporting competition first?
Doing the latter simply means monetising within a system as fair as practical. Treating it as industry first means a bit more revenue (which just leads to higher expenses, would the comp be any worse if it cost $35m to run a small club rather than $45m) and often alienating fans from actually attending. It sells a "product" while being detrimental to the competition.

Well said mate, 100 per cent spot on.

 

[Hawkk]

Barely any game sold out in Geelong last year. You'll be fine.
