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.

It's the modern day Timezone arcade and as long as the kids keep pumping in the $2 coins it's all good!

Thankyou afl for putting us up against Essendon for the gather round. Hopefully that's the only time we play them & I don't have to sit amongst there arrogant annoying supporters because I have no intention going to Adelaide

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 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
