The 2023 AFL Fixture


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

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 😛

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….

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

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

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.

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.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
