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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
