They got a big fat zero for Friday night games.

I'm ecstatic about it.

Was just having a look thanks.

A big sucked in to anyone associated with the Richmond football club in any capacity. They've been on the end of favourable draws for years.

MUCH better draw than LY, both on the field and financially off it.

Carlton home game tick

No Geelong in Geelong tick

No Etihad home games tick

North and St Kilda at the G tick

A bye after one of our NT game tick

 

Really happy. If we are serious about finals, we should get to 12 wins.

So excited for next year

Go Dees!!!

I am predicting we have the following:

Definite wins: 12

Definite losses: 6

50/50: 4

Outcome: 13-14 wins and our first finals series since 06.

Out of interest what are your losses and 50/50,s ?

 

cheers

I don't think there are any 'definite losses' for us next season.

If Melbourne and Collingwood are both in contention (or by that stage confirmed) finalists, the Round 23 clash could be a corker.

Agreed, a good draw.  I don't like attending night games but if we are thinking finals, I am concerned about our lack of night games.

Doggies away off after a 6 day break followed by West Coast  away after a six day break, followed by Sydney @ home Friday night after a six day break will be the toughest run of the year

Losses:

Round 1 v Saints 

Round 3 v Geelong,

Round 8 v Adelaide,

Round 13 v Bulldogs,

Round 14 v West Coast, 

Round 20 v GWS

50/50: 

Round 6 v Essendon

Round 15 v Sydney

Round 17 v Adelaide

Round 23 v Collingwood

While I'm sure we will win probably one or two of the losses I find it works well when you assume you will lose certain games and win others as it generally evens out. Also, I'd be bitterly disappointed if we lose to Essendon & Collingwood but I just feel they are 50/50 games at the moment.

It looks a good football fixture overall - the tough part is 3 x 6-day breaks in a row after QBW:

  • R13 v Dogs (off 9 days) at Etihad
  • R14 v WCE (off 8 days) at Domain
  • R15 v Sydney (off 7 days) our Friday night at the MCG

That's a very tough run, especially with the trip to Perth in the middle and our marquee Friday night exposure at the end which is a pity - we'll need to manage our rotations through that period and play a squad.

Appreciated, always interesting to get another persons thoughts.

I think we're better than what we showed rd 23 against the cats. For some reason I just can't bring myself to rate them.

Deserved, they entertain.

How did Richmond fare?

I agree they entertained and deserve the lion's share. But other than Adelaide's 5 Friday nights, these two are a looooong way ahead of everybody else.

As long as this trend continues, that's the main thing.

Was worried about our short break from Round 5 to Round 6, then realised that Essendon have a 115hr break themselves. Might need some state-of-the-art recovery juice?

Highlights:

- Play the annual Queen’s Birthday home match against Collingwood
- Play an ANZAC Day Eve match at the MCG for the third consecutive season (note: it will be Richmond’s turn to host next year’s game)
- Play a home Friday night match against the Sydney Swans in round 15
- Play a home game against a big Victorian club (Carlton) early in the season in round two
- Play new opponents in the Northern Territory (Gold Coast Suns at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs and the Adelaide Crows at TIO Stadium, Darwin)
- Play no home matches at Etihad Stadium

I think the most important thing is that I'll be able to attend my wedding as our fixture doesn't clash with it. ;)

You made wedding plans before the fixture came out?!

I agree. I just use that as an exercise to try and predict how many games we win & lose and it usually ends up pretty accurate.

I thought all guys knew that weddings should only take place in February.  Pretty much the only month that doesn't have a major sporting event or have a long weekend in it, and the weather is generally pretty reliable.

Bold AF, you organised a wedding before seeing the fixture. Not me.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
