Fixture 2025 draw any news or leaks? (Fixture released today)

[STPer18]

Haha good on you mate. You can admit you have get a leg up from the league with the fixturing and soft cap. If you don’t believe me ask any Richmond fan on this board.

Yeah let's ask those completely neutral arbiters. You've got to understand how funny it is to see a fan of the most kissed on the proverbial side when it comes to fixturing getting himself into a tizzy over another team's fixture - which isn't even out yet mind you.

 

[JPetro83]

Geelong to get their annual final round game against a bottom side at home?

League needs to guarantee they’ll get that final percentage boost can’t leave anything to chance

facts

 

[Cleavy]

Why would you move Dreamtime from Saturday night to prime time Friday? Esepcially when both teams project to be bad/terrible.

because if it's on Saturday, Ch7 can't show it live because Fox has Super Saturday.

Hawks v Richmond, Round 8 Sunday arvo at MCG announced .

Centenary match up, as Hawks v Richmond in their very first VFL game in 1925.

 

[blueiris]

So far Rd 1 confirmed

Rich v Carl mcg

Haw v Ess mcg

Gee v Freo kp
Syd v Lions scg
Coll v PA mcg
Dogs vs Nth marvel

Adl v Stk AO
Wce V GCS optus

Which only leaves GWS v Mel ??, you would think that would be in NSW to avoid having a game clash with the Grand Prix on Sunday

The SWANS vs LIONS game really should be the Friday night instead the game has been hidden away like the AFL'S little dark secret we don't even get the main event Saturday night fixture

We're playing North in Tassie. Our Vic fans getting robbed again

 

[StMiles1]

1pm

 

[Grasshopper17]

1pm

8:10pm surely. Right when the Socceroos game kicks off.

So play catch up to all the other finalists who've already had that percentage boost earlier

 

[parano1a]

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

 

[Billy ray]

North to have two home games v eagles

You also get a home game in Rd 1 against Freo coming off the preseason while you will be warmed up. Every drip fed Geelong game seems like an advantage in some way.

All Saturday day games are on Fox as per the new tv rights

North to have two home games v eagles

Are you sure because according to Mitch Clearly North would need to play each WA team only once next season

Sydney lose an MCG game. Down to 2. What a joke. For a team that has a huge Melbourne supporter base.

Probably means we have a game in Geelong

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

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!

Hey it's one less game we game play terribly at the MCG count it as a win mate lol

Plus us Monday-Fridayers can fly down for it without having to take annual leave haha

So Collingwood and Carlton managed to avoid the trip

I just looked it up and I call bullshit lol

Yep I get the reasons for Thursdays but it's a putrid timeslot to get to, and Fridays in Sydney people do realise just how banged up the roads get in Sydney right? You try finishing work lets say 40mins away from the stadium..it will take you and hour and a half to get to! It's as bad as that Brisbane highway (forget the name you would know it)

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I just looked it up and I call bullshit lol

You are HIGHLY optimistic on Essendon's chances this year. Bottom 4 side surely. That said Cats have a decent draw anyway. I hate comparing draws who cares the best side always wins regardless of how soft or hard a draw is. Pies fans whinging yesterday about playing finalists when half won't make it.

 

[hawkman]

I just looked it up and I call bullshit lol

Well you end up getting the worst team in history this time just not at home

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