The 2025 Fixture

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

That’s what I came up with

It's a sign dude

 

[shintemaster]

Way too much travel and as expected our home games are disproportionately against non Vic teams. Better than this year though both financially and from a fairness perspective.

Our home games in Melbourne are 5-2 local vs interstate

 

[toepoker]

It's an impressive effort giving Richmond the easiest fixture given their lack of opportunity to play Richmond

 

[Dan]

3 MCG games

 

[King Corey]

Before thinking deeply or reading back.. looks ok?

Who can tell me where Ninja Arena is? I come to Melbourne for the Tiggers game with friends and NFI of this venue

 

[Grogg]

For the natives, this is the best draw we've had for years.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but is this the first time ever that there hasn't been a pre-fixture announcement media beat up story about whether we should keep Good Friday? I can't recall one article.

I had to look it up. It is in Hobart.

 

[Hopper10]

Thank GR. Marvel was packed for this game last year… oh well, hopefully 4 points

 

[The Dingrel]

What's really quite striking is we sell a couple of home games to WA on commercial grounds, yet playing Richmond at Ninja stadium. If the AFL was serious about supporting the smaller clubs, why not let them play a Friday night game at the MCG as a home game vs the bigger Melbourne clubs. Why not play the Good Friday game at the MCG as well!

 

[My Left Foote]

Does anyone know how you get in to Ninja Stadium? I assume you have to sneak in very quietly in the dead of night then appear out of nowhere startling your fellow supporters.

 

[CURVE]

We're heading back to Manuka.

as we get up off the canvas there will be other teams that take the whipping boy status.

 

[Moti]

Best fixture in so long.
I’m stoked.

From an SA point of view I get to see them twice in the first 7 rounds.
The WA bonding trip.
No geelong trip.
3 games at the G.

We are ON!

Don't you mean 3 times.

 

[My Left Foote]

finish second last but get 8th hardest draw lol

Every. Single. Year.

 

[Disco Dew]

finish second last but get 8th hardest draw lol

we’ve been so shit for so long we could play west coast and Richmond 23 times and I’d still think it’s at least the 8th hardest draw.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Every. Single. Year.

yep just look at tigers double ups: cats, dons, saints, suns, eagles and us

vs our double ups: swans, dogs, blues, dees, crows and them

i would take any one of their 5 double ups over ours besides maybe cats over syd but that one is fairly line ball either way

Great fixture all things considered.

Terrible graphic though, bloody hard to read.

 

[shintemaster]

Our home games in Melbourne are 5-2 local vs interstate

Home games is home games biggie. Not saying it's not an improvement from a low base but it highlights the concern post 2025 and why we are stuck in this cycle. We play so many more games against NSW, WA, QLD & SA teams compared to other larger Melbourne teams.

finish second last but get 8th hardest draw lol

That will continue to happen until one year when we finish top 4, all the shit teams are in the list above in bold and the AFL will need some serious mental hijinks to work out how they get out of us having double ups against all the big VIC teams. I don't think their fixture model could even accommodate those being the bottom 8 teams and us in the top 4 with say Coll, Ess, Rich.

 

[CURVE]

finish second last but get 8th hardest draw lol

The confused our men's team with our women's.
