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

[Red Black and Blue]

Carlton noshed right off here.

 

[Mat Mann]

haha can't make it up, travel to Adelaide 3 times in 5 weeks

Play Adelaide teams in Adelaide and none at home

Haven't hosted Adelaide in Melb since 2019 (COVID year on GC)
hosted Port @ Marvel twice since 2012

Doubles against the Cats, Dogs, Dees, Dockers, Tigers & Giants.

and somehow both giants games are at away venues

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Carlton getting gifted finals again I see

The Carlton and Geelong bias is out of control

Wouldn't have Geelong's as easy as they do get Brisbane, Port and GWS twice. They get lucky with Richmond though

Carlton's is incredible

Pies again exempt from the trip to Geelong

 

[Cam Payne]

Blues fans booking GF tickets as we speak.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Have the Scott Bros released the full 2025 Toyota AFL Fixture yet?

Wtaf.

Let's be honest, any team that plays us twice has a massive advantage over their relative rivals. We can only drop to 1 or 0 wins if we go down from 2024

 

[Elixuh]

Good to see we get a game down at the old Pork Barrel Park

When they were bad as well, they also avoided that. Strange that they keep avoiding it. We avoided it post premiership but as we slid we are now back down the road.

Yeah we need another guaranteed W to our schedule so appreciate you finally doing the trip again after years of avoiding it <3

 

[eth-dog]

Did everyone in this thread forget that Carlton were shit house for half a season each season of the past 3? Whether or not they have a perceived soft draw won't really matter if that gets dished up again.

 

[SplintWhisky]

Wait, I thought the Saturday twilight was the "New prime time" slot. How have we ended up with a heap of them in the first 15 rounds?

It is actually easy for opposition teams to get seats there now. Last year there would have been at least 6k of Hawthorn supporters there

There's no rhyme or reason to it
Every club bar Pies get an away game v Geelong

 

[Chronz]

Carlton and Geelong get a 'walk-to-finals' draw again. How do they get easier draws than some of the non-finals teams?

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Ports double ups are tough swans cats hawks blues dockers crows

 

[Elixuh]

AFL fixturing department doing all the heavy lifting for Carlton again, it has to eventually pay off, right? Right? Surely.

Corruptest human in Australia L Sayers probably asked the fixture dude what colour super yachts he likes best.

Hate Geelong as much as anyone but I am not seeing it with them. They play Sydney, GWS, Adelaide, Port, Brisbane and West Coast away and they have 3 double ups against top 6 teams. The only real soft part is they play Richmond twice

 

[JPetro83]

Anyone got a PDF of the full fixture?

 

[Elixuh]

Ports draw - and given the context their fans will probably love this - looks to be terribly difficult based on the double ups. If Kenny can get them to finals again with this draw it'll be coaching genius.

Would deserve another 4 year contract
