Fixture 2025 Fixture Discussion

Other than it seems a given that the Dogs are always fixtured to play in Geelong; to me it would make much more sense that if it is going to be built up as Bailey Smith against his old team then this game should be played at Marvel. There would be more Bulldog supporters in attendance and therefore more crowd involvement and atmosphere.

So silly isn’t it. The whole week will be built up as Sniff v. the Dogs but it’s at his home ground so a complete own goal by the AFL. We’ll belt them anyway.

At least for the first time in many years they're not playing the final round at Shithole Stadium.

Though they get to play us at home on a Thursday night and they'll lock most of us out

They rarely sell out at Alphabet Park though the prices are very stiff compared to Marvel.

Did the AFL miss an opportunity not scheduling NM, Hawthorn and WB to play each other twice?

Of those three, only one match is played twice (WB v NM).

100 year celebration for all three clubs, bizarre really.

Haw v WB especially should have been played twice given this year's EF.

On overall balance not a bad draw.

Great to get a Home game at the G, shame it is at the expense of a Marvel game further devaluing premium seat holders in particular with their Marvel seats.

Good idea to have both Ballarat games in the middle of the season. Last year showed the folly of playing games their in "better weather".

May have got 1 or 2 thousand more at the games there but meant the vast Majority of Members did not get a home game to round 3 and could not get to our last game playing for a place in the finals.

The fixture is not too easy or hard but we get to control our own destiny

Hawks belted us and no real venom or controversy coming out of the game, so can’t see the demand for a double up. Plus we would have played them in Tassie anyway.

I'm hoping as reserve seat holders we get equivalent allocated seat at the MCG. Other clubs do it.

Still get our standard 2 games at the MCG. Yet 1 less game at Marvel

North gets 3 at the MCG which is hilarious.

Not sure it’s as big a deal now that Whitten oval is redeveloped. We have space to mimic the dimensions of MCG now. I know it’s not the same but helps a lot with game plan etc.
