Fixture 2025 Fixture Discussion

Another 'home' game in Adelaide against a strong team for Gather-round.

I quite like the Gather-round concept, but they need to be more even handed with the matchups.

We have been treated to tough fixtures each year, and our close losses in the last two seasons both proved costly. Giving up home advantage against the reigning premier, is a significant price to pay, especially after giving up home advantage against Geelong last year.

If you aren't an Adelaide team the only thing that makes it a 'home' game is the guernsey and shorts you wear.

It is interesting that in the 3 years (including this year) of Gather Round the two Adelaide teams have only played Victorian teams.

All about the crowds.

But the Adelaide teams should be able to draw crowds whoever they play, surely, like they do during the regular season.

Crows/Power rarely push 40k against non Vic sides.
