Fixture 2025 Fixture Released

[WalshistheGOAT]

What a fantastic fixture for us

Hawks x2 isn't great going off last seasons form but still a great draw for us

 

[kreuze_missile]

11 games at the G

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Only complaint is playing the Swans on the SCG again, a ground that is not suitable for AFL

Our record there of late isn't too bad, id much rather that than Lions at the Gabba again

 

[kreuze_missile]

Not happy with this many Thursday night games

We are primetime darlings.

All about the TV ratings.

Member preferences unfortunately not a consideration.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

No GCS up at their swamp either thank God.

 

[Sector 7G]

Our record there of late isn't too bad, id much rather that than Lions at the Gabba again

Lost our last 2 there. haven't won at the SCG since 2019. Will be 3 years in a row we play at the SCG.

Can't get everything though.

 

[Brezsa]

AFL need to put the ladder predictor up, so I can now make it so we win 24 & Essendon win 0

 

[RPCB]

Norf twice, WC twice. * twice. I can almost hear the explosion of opposition supporters heads.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

3 games in Mighty Adelaide.

You bloody ripper!!!

 

[YeoShuey]

Not enough Thursday and Friday night prime time games.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

So teams are once again having byes in rounds 2,3 & 4…

Can’t believe the AFL have gone down this path again, it’s lack of commonsense by the AFL, all teams should play through to the mid season byes, Open Round teams have first week of the staggered byes…

Personally i think our fixture is pretty good, blend of night and day games, Thursdays are hard with work Fridays are a little easier, bit old school so i really enjoy Saturday arvo or Sunday early afternoon games…

Pity we couldn’t get another MCG home game locked in for our fixture…

Rd 1: Richmond (a) MCG, Thu. Great way to start. Tigs will showcase their youngsters. Need to put them to the sword.
Rd 2: Hawthorn (h) MCG, Thu. Hope Hawks start same way as last year! They will be on a 6-day break.
Rd 3: Dogs (h) Marvel, Fri. Not ideal venue, but this is only home Marvel match we play v Marvel specialists.
Rd 4: Pies (a) MCG, Thu. 6-day break, Pies had a bye in rd 3. Not ideal.
Rd 5: Weagles ('h') Adelaide, Sat. Neutral venue, Weagles have 6-day break. Need to win big.
Rd 6. Norf (a) Marvel, Fri. Both sides on 6-day break. Don't let them get a sniff.
Rd 7. Cats (h) MCG, Sun. Big test.
Rd 8. Cows (a) Adelaide, Sat. 6-day break and travel. Danger game. Find this schedule annoying (Fri-Sun-Sat).
Rd 9. Saints (a) MCG, Fri. Back-to-back 6-day breaks less than ideal, but a Saints home match at the 'G is good.
Rd 10. Syd (a) SCG, Fri. SCG again! Will be tough. Sydney on 6-day break.
Rd 11. GWS (h) Marvel, Sat. Need to win this.
Rd 12. BYE
Rd 13. Ess (h) MCG, Sun. What's the deal with a Sunday match after a bye?
Rd 14. Weagles (a) Perth, Sun. Need to make most of second game for the year vs Weagles.
Rd 15. Norf (h) MCG, Sat. 6-day break after Perth trip isn't great, but an MCG match vs Norf is welcome.
Rd 16. Port (a) Adelaide, ?? Third trip to Adelaide for the year.
Rd 17. Pies (h) MCG, ??.
Rd 18. Brions (h) Marvel, ??
Rd 19. Dees (h) MCG,??
Rd 20. Horks (a) MCG, ??
Rd 21. Freo (a) Perth, ??. Second Perth trip for the year, and sixth interstate match.
Rd 22. GC (h) Marvel, ??
Rd 23. Port (h) Marvel, ??
Rd 24. Ess (a) MCG, ??

Overall. Not bad. 2 matches v Hawks, Port, Pies, Weagles, Norf, *. Six interstate trips. Don't like the yo-yo'ing between Thursday and Sunday matches - 5 x 6-day breaks (so far). Though no 5-day breaks at least (after this year). Want to get at least 2 wins out of the Hawks-Dogs-Pies run early in the season to set us up.

 

[Juice030103]

I mean that’s a straight up win for us

Can’t complain

 

[Aphrodite]

Full Fixture in my OP.

 

[Aphrodite]

In the article I read (HS I think), the Aints will be requesting to host a marquee game each year at the G.

Edit: Aph beat me to it.

Too slow

 

[manang magoos]

Norf twice, WC twice. * twice. I can almost hear the explosion of opposition supporters heads.

Especially fly and his nuffy mob

If they can’t finish top four with this fixture it’s time to nuke the joint
