Dons vs Blues already have one of the public holidays (Kings birthday) for their as they are saying in the media ‘traditional’ game that’s been going for a couple of years.So games will start at 410
You'd think it's likely to be played earlier in the season due to the weather and timezones. Not to mention probably around long weekends.

Richmond have 3, Roos two by the sounds of it so not sure that stands up.In 2024 we had zero Thursday night games and 1 Friday night game (vs Gold Coast in R22 which wasn’t a standalone match). All other matches were Saturday or Sunday
So it’s hardly a surprise that 2025 might be the same
Two reasons I can think of
1) We’re trash and don’t deserve marquee spots at the moment
2) Playing exclusively on Saturday/Sunday ensures we have no 5 day breaks which I suspect would be one of our requests
Yep G games and access should be a thing.Personally, I have no real issue not being involved in marquee Thus/ Friday games as we certainly don't deserve it. When we were a marquee team we played plenty of prime time games over the years...
Hawks hardly had a Friday night game in 4 years till next year when they're back to prime time.
It's basic broadcasting/ marketing dollars, not conspiracy theory in this case.
At least 2 games and further training allowances at MCG for all non Vic clubs at a minimum w GF contract.
And a fixture with a few less flights for WA teams, including back to back interstate games- either QLD, NSW or Vic once or twice a season is a massive win.

Haha, please.
So the new Sunday twilight is better? No one wants to go to footy in that timeslot and for the players no one wants to wait around all weekend to play

They all might be before the bye (sitting 2nd) before their customary slide to miss finals.Not sure how Essendon deserve all their prime time games then? Have been trash forever.

Best we might get is WA day weekend.
They will be the 3rd WA team , North Perth Kangaroo.Can someone help me out...It helps North make money but they are only doing once next year and then halving it for another 2 years after that all while offiically pulling out of Tasmania at the end of next year?
Wouldnt it make sense to ramp it up after the Tasmania exit?
Or they just doing a cash grab of 2 mil and hoping that will cure them long term?
The AFL see how much we like opening round, the sub rule and Sunday night games so they have decided to drip feed the ENTIRE fixturethe full fixture should be release some time this week
Playing outta Bunbury and the SW....logical nameThey will be the 3rd WA team , North Perth Kangaroo.
We'll never get a WA Day game - as far as I know it's reserved for WAFL games.
If thats the plan, as I say would it make more sense to ramp it up after they pull out of Tassie?They will be the 3rd WA team , North Perth Kangaroo.
I went to that game on a footy trip and was absolutely buzzing after. High fiving randoms, asking everyone "How about them Eagles?". Felt like we had the flag until we bizarrely forgot how to play football in the first half of the prelim against North. Got over the line but Hawthorn made us pay the next week.Random thoughts - Best WC Friday night game.
For mine, vs Richmond at the G, round 12 2015. Was the game where I started to believe the lads had something special going.
A Dusty masterclass with 3 goals wasn't enough with Gaffy BOG, Yeo brilliant and JK with 3 of his own.
Was close all night, but we always looked in control and ran away with a 20pt win
I’m fine with WA Day being reserved for the WAFL - it’s a big day for them
What could be done though is use the Sunday night - play the Derby then as a regular fixture. Make it a twilight game starting at 4.40 and have it televised in prime time over east
Build it up as a regular standalone game in the fixture
Doubles against Freo, GWS, Carlton, Melbourne, Adelaide and Richmond
Pretty funny post. Good from socials
