Fixture 2025 fixture

[The Nostradamus]

That’s a decent result compared to previous years

 

[Hojuman]

Least the boys can have a nice Barossa Red before the game to fire up.

 

[Roobunny]

As a South Australian, I’m furious at this.

Three years in and we’ve played regional, at my least favourite SANFL ground and the game started during normal work day hours, and now regional again.

We didn’t get any games here last year outside of Gather Round. I’ve not been able to go to any of the Gather Round training sessions, not been able to watch the club at Adelaide Oval.

I know as a club we have definitely not earned a lot of “ooh I’d like to see them play” energy but the tiniest bit of respect would be nice.

Lyndoch should be a good ground, I’ve been watching them build it, and it’s a lovely town but I’m still annoyed that we have to travel again.

And as for the opponent well on one hand thank god it’s not Brisbane again, but on the other, I’ll kind of miss our pattern.

 

[marklovesbeer]

I love that we’ll be playing in the Barossa. Unique experience.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Yes, best we play them at the Gabba.

we should play them in Tassie, especially with the Fagan connection.

 

[Mr north man]

rd 1: Home Bunbury vs freo
rd 2: Home Perth vs Eagles
rd 3: Away Sydney vs Swans
rd 4: Home Hobart vs Port
rd 5: Home Marvel (Sunday 4pm) vs Gold Coast

The AFL announce the clubs been rewarded with 4 home games in the first 5 rounds. Melbourne based supporters are like WTF!

Well well well a Gold Coast Marvel game Round 5 considering we are playing them in the Gather Round in the Barossa valley

 

[Kanga Glory]

Heard on radio fixture will be announced this Thursday

 

[Kanga Glory]

Gather round

 

[Marstermind]

1. North Melbourne players will have to Google "MCG" for them to remember how to get there on the one occasion we get scheduled to play.
2. Our first home game at Docklands will be against Freo, the Suns, GWS or some other low drawing opposition
3. All North Melbourne players can confidently make social arrangements for Thursday and Friday nights safe in the knowledge they won't be required to play football.
4. Death, taxes and North playing at Pork Barrel Park against the Cats every year.
5. Jason Horne-Francis will never play against North Melbourne at Docklands. Lock in the Power at Adelaide Oval.
6. A potential 30k+ crowd against the Hawks will be wasted by playing them in Hobart in front of family and friends.
7. Gather Round at some poxy suburban ground or country paddock.
8. Free to air games will be Good Friday and...maybe one other.

Only one announcement so far and I've already ticked off one from this list. Confident I'll get all 8.

 

[King Corey]

Only one announcement so far and I've already ticked off one from this list. Confident I'll get all 8.

I'd like to suggest:

9. The final round will be revealed to be West Coast in Hobart. Curiously after playing them twice in WA already that season

[Gasometer]

Wat will be the capacity of the Barossa Ground?

 

[Gasometer]

And up goes the airfares and SA accomodation..

The accomodation on Expedia was just about booked out as of last week; the remaining options being big city ones you are looking at $1500 plus for 3 nights

 

[My Left Foote]

Wat will be the capacity of the Barossa Ground?

5,000 Litres

 

[Pravda Roo]

I am driving myself over with a bus, looking forwards to a good win.

Well I might have to reiterate my tip for Gather Round














Stay at home

 

[Arthur Cloke]

So you play us in Gather Round hey? I seriously can't wait. I'm adamant that The Suns tanked in Round 24, 2023 to cost us Harley Reid.
It is not lost on me that Adam Simpson & Stuart Jew dated each others cousins back in the day. What a favour The Suns did for WC.
I'll never forget it.
Anyway, I'm more pumped than a blow-up doll entering 2025 with the additions we've made to our list & with Hansen Jr finishing Top 10 in our 20km Time Trial, the world is his lobster.

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

5000

Got much room in that bus?

 

[The Dingrel]

That’s a decent result compared to previous years

not if you're a Brisbane based member hoping to get a game up here....Lions last 2 years in Gather round, no games here last year, 1 on the GC the year before...yet the club just auto invoices for membership without any value whatsoever.

Better off with a Lions flexi 10 membership,,,go to 10 games or 1 game and take 9 mates......so if we ever do play at the GABBA again (hopefully this year) can take the family and go along to some Lions games. That auto renew membership I think turns people away from staying on as members, as any value is fixture dependent. I am very disillusioned with NMFC membership department.

I just told the club I’m not renewing my membership until I see the fixture. I’m not buying an interstate membership for one S.A game like last year. I’d rather buy a guernsey and gift it to a young supporter.

I've done the same this year (45 mins on hold to cancel auto renew)....and they'll just auto renew again if I buy a 3 game Melbourne membership just to say Im a member and support the club, just too much time wasting ....so decided not to renew for the first time since the 80s. Would rather just buy some raffle tickets, and buy game day tickets if I can make it to a game.
