By December, the AFL has committed to releasing a fixture that will be scheduled fully up until round six, which includes Anzac Day.

It was December 10 days ago. 

The rest of the season's match-ups will also be set, however rounds seven to 23 won't include the date, timeslots and choice of TV broadcaster. Clubs have been informed the release of the rest of the season will be on a flexible basis in line with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with hope to give clubs at least four weeks' notice before each fixture 'drop'.

What do dates, timeslots and the choice of tv broadcasters have to do with the covid-19 pandemic ? If we're drawn to play West Coast in Perth in round 7 will an outbreak in WA dictate whether we play at 7.50 pm on a Friday shown on CH 7 or 2 pm on Sunday shown on Fox ? 

 

A great by-product of this is that AFLW will no longer have the farcical conference system and will go back to a single ladder.


Good. Will give our millstone midfield a proper chance to grind others into dust, and the necessary rotations will mean that our glut of midfielders will get proper minutes in their best positions.

After last night’s hit telecast of the draft they should also televise the announcement of the fixture. Round by round, 10 minute intervals in between. Ask the captain how they feel about travelling to Perth round 1. 

Almost Christmas and not a single fixture stuck on the fridge, feels so wrong. 

Great,  back to normal and hopefully not to see shorten quarters again. 16  extra  minutes of entertainment is bang for your buck!

And with normal length quarters back, Petracca can now spend the last 5 minutes of quarters resting inside forward 50.....  rest of the competition will be helpless as he averages 28 possessions and kicks 40 goals next season.

God help the teams that don"t do so well in the first six rounds they have got no hope of getting good time slots.

Once again the media have got their way. I fixture picked before the season starts does not suit them. We had better start the a season well or our sponsors will get very little air time.


Poor danger won’t be happy, think he knows him and his older teammates can’t run out longer quarters, 16 minutes suited them perfectly

We definitely need to be 4-2 at the end of 6.

A 2-4 start which is so often the case will do nothing.

Now for the debate over receipts sharing for Anzac Eve. (It may not be pretty)

Surely there will be some sense of fairness brought into this. We need the AFL to step in I think. 

This is silly. Don't the magical vaccines get rolled out in march. If this is the case and we have been told it is then they can release a full fixture with times venues and even t.v. slots.

Just remember it was the pollies telling us about the vaccines. ?????

Is  20 minute normal time?  Thought it was 25 plus time on

Welcome to Australian rules football did you just come out of a time wrap, has been 20 minutee for 3 decades

I think there will be a floating fixture from now on, remember when Carlton got heaps of Friday nights and stunk it up.

You maybe right but it sucks.

Cameron was the best thing every to happen to Geelong, it will mean when they fall they will stay down for longer, they would have gotten 3 Frist rounds last night they only got 1 but gave up next year's first round, to get it.

The whole AFL media will look stupid, they all think Geelong is going to be top 4 for another 3 years, they say Hawkins has another 3 years, his already 34 has 1 year left at most, how the media thinks  that Higgins has 3 good seasons left in him, at 33 I don't know.

Conversely perhaps they will actually reward performance with exposure instead of just giving primetime games to Collingwood/Carlton/Essendon

Has this been published anywhere??

Rumour going around that it will be released 23 December.

I hope that post round 6 we will at the very least know when we have home and when we have away games, even if the timeslot and venue are not 100% decided. Not just from a planning perspective for the club, but for supporters too.

I plan holidays (which lets be honest, where the hell am I going in 2021 other than my backyard?) around the fixture to make sure I miss the least amount of home games possible. I am sure lots of people are in the same boat, not to mention those that want to travel interstate for matches.

The AFL.com article suggests that all matchups and venues will be revealed after round 6 but not the dates.

So we'll inevitably know that we'll have North Melbourne at Hobart in round 23 but we won't know the exact day of the game.

Not ideal but you can plan you holidays with a bit of (COVID free) confidence.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
