2025 Draw - hoping for MUCH softer

[Thrillthorpe7]

2 games in round 2. Got it.

If we aren't 3-0 at the end of Round 2 then Nicks MUST BE SACKED

Ok but read my post above. Surely we can’t start with 3 home games.

yep theres an error somewhere. clearly we wouldnt have 3 home games to start - and actually very unlikely to have 2.

One of the first 2 weeks - perhaps Tigers away - is in MLB - DIFFERENT to what H/Sun is reporting

Gives us Saints at home in week one and Tiges away in round two and home again round three is my best bet

We play St Kilda and Richmond, both at Adel Oval, in our first two games - according to Herald Sun

Perfect gotta start the season well

Theyve got us playing Essendon at the G in Round 2 as well, might be a tough ask to win both

Can't be right because they have Port playing Essendon in round 3 in Victoria.

more realistic than 2 (or 3) home games to start the season

and we are due for round one at home so round 2 away makes perfect sense, esp with power away on thu in round 3

Assume the clubs fixture request item number 1 was a soft start so we would all go easy on nice guy Nicks

Given our ladder position it probably didn't need to be a request

 

[Peter Doherty]

Might just come back to this tomorrow..

Our opening game is at AO. Happy days

My guess is Port get their traditional “early beat up of the worst team in the comp” against Richmond in R2 and we’re actually playing Essendon.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

No Friday night games (hardly a surprise given our performances last year)

That list isn’t completed. I’m hoping for at least a Friday night showdown, even if it’s not our home game.

Do they mean home games?

Because no SA or WA teams getting a gig on Friday night at home is pretty shit for a national comp

Yeah, only 22 out of 34 slots filled there, assuming North Melbourne's Good Friday game doesn't count (hopefully there's a non-Victorian Friday Night game as well).

 

[Scorpus]

Good news! We are playing on a Friday. Bad news, it's against Hawthorn in Tasmania

 

[El Doederino]

That would only cover 11 games

We're going to be playing at more regional venues than Lee Kernaghan aren't we?

We ****ed the AFL over by being shit after requesting prime slots.

Wouldn't be surprised to cop the regional punishment tour

Night game in Tassie in winter, what a dream experience

I assume Tigers will be at MCG which we play ok

And not only that Round 14 is in middle of June.

Why the **** are they playing night games in Tasmania during winter?

Really?

When was the last time we won at the G? April 2017. We have lost the last 10 games there.

Robbed against the Pies.... twice.

Id hope we can beat Richmond there, if we cant then Nicks gets the sack

 

[Jeffcrowe]

So what we thinking ?

Round 1 v saints at home
Round 2 v Richmond mcg
Round 3 v Essendon home
Away
Round 5 gather round v cats at home

?? Not the worst draw
