The 2023 AFL Fixture

If I'm getting one interstate footy trip next year I'd rather put my resources into doing a red centre trip. Maybe even stay 3 or 4 days and see everything that this place has to offer that most people don't get a chance to see.

Give me this over winging on to Adelaide for a pee wee interschool sports carnival atmosphere.

    Just assumed that clubs that play each other in Gather Round will play each other again, as there is actually no genuine home team in the fixture i.e. - the home team doesn't collect the gate proceeds.

    I could be wrong and we once again play Essendon just once. 

    Yeah I didn’t take into account that this is essentially an extra round but then again we’re talking about the AFL so logic goes out the window.

    Good chance we will play them in the match where they unveil their new stadium and only let Geelong members into the game.

    I believe we are playing Geelong at Kardinia during the Adelaide Gather Round..........

    I would have thought this too but in a much more derogatory way in that it's such a low rent event that barely qualifies as AFL round standard. They would need to play each other again to make up for it 😛

    Im surprised the AFL is not playing the Magic round at Kardinia Park with all proceeds going to the Cats. Of course Geelong would have the choice of which team they would like to play.

    Degree of interest is rather low but wondering how double headers work ticket wise

    If it's one ticket for both games then the crowd for one of the games will be low I suspect.

    Interesting that we got a graveyard slot TV wise

    Still trying to work out the whole point of this “Round 5” Circus.
    Yes it is an extra Round of Footy, but why would South Australian’s go to games with Victorian Clubs. SA hates The Big V

    It just don’t add up….

    I was wondering that too. We are the double header to the Port game. Does that mean the premium seats will be unavailable/empty.

    As long as the $500,000 cheque clears I don’t really care.

    I'm interested in that question too.

    The media release says each game is free for members or $30 for the public so if you take it on its word, the ticket for the double header does not include both games and that the crowd for the Dons V Dees game would need to vacate the stadium, before allowing the Port V Dogs crowd in.

    Who knows?

    Extract from AFL official statement:

    https://www.afl.com.au/news/871060

    Tickets are not tiered or classified, so prices are capped for all matches in any seat in the venue and for all matches at the Adelaide Oval multi-day discounted passes will be available.

    It's an "Event" purchased by the local State Government just like they purchase conferences, theatre, festivals etc. The economic benefits to the local city are hard to prove but it has been the way of things for around 20 years now.

    Will it work as an "Event" and pack out the hotels and restaurants... probably. You only need just over 5000 travelling fans for each team and you have almost 100,000 visitors

    Truly the AFL are becoming more and more stupid as the days roll by. 
    If it has a $$$ to it they will implement it.

    Process of elimination for those wanting to book to go to Alice Springs for the Dees vs Giants game. 

    Gold Coast are playing Adelaide on Saturday June 3rd in Round 12. 

    Currently we are only listed as playing the Giants in Round 16 with no set date. Round 16 should be on the weekend on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd of July.

    Flights to Adelaide ONE WAY From Melbourne Round 5 Weekend 

    $600 as of now 

    I daresay Hotels will also jump on board. 
     

    Will fans pay these prices or just watch it on TV?

    Well, again, that’s one less game in Melbourne I’ll go to next season. 

    So between our Red Centre announcement and this I’m down 2 games of footy in 2023 I was hoping to see live.

    What a gift this drip feed of the fixture is.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
