The AFL 2025 Fixture

in Melbourne Demons

The AFL know dees have poor crowds at many night games. 

It would help if they didn't schedule them in midwinter vs Port, GWS, Freo etc whose fans don't travel. 

Schedule the night games vs Carlton, Coll, Rich etc and it is a different story.  Dees fans will probably be outnumbered but there will be a decent crowd and many watching on TV.

 

I prefer day games but am ok with night games but not in midwinter at the G.  If the AFL want midwinter night games they should be in the warmer states or undercover at Marvel.

    I read somewhere that there will be lots of Sunday night games, often on the eve of a public holiday in Vic or Qld.  Most others will be in WA which will be an early evening start in WA so broadcast at night in eastern states.

    My mfcss has kicked in and we cop a double whammy:  Sunday night and travel to Perth 😢

    Not expecting much good in this fixture for the club/players re travel, breaks, revenue.

    At what point today is it all being released?

    Rumour of 1pm. Interesting that they haven’t released round 1 first though.

    Fixture is a debacle.

    Sunday 3:20 galore, home game at Marvel. Off to Perth for West Coast again, back to Geelong, twice at Adelaide Oval.

    But, last 7 are in Victoria.

    Means only 12 games at the G, down from 14

    We have Pies, Hawks and Blues as away games at the G so I think it’s 13 games at the G.

    Edit - 1 mcg home game has been moved to Marvel. Thought we had an agreement to play 10 at the G because of Alice.

    Double up teams

    Hawks, Pies, STK, GCS, WCE, NTH

    That is the easiest we could have had.

    Based on 2024

    • 5th - Hawks (7th pre finals)
    • 9th - Pies
    • 12th - Saints
    • 13th - GCS
    • 16th - WCE
    • 17th - North

    I don't see any of them being top 4 and only a couple top 8 candidates.

    In terms of groupings:

    • 1 from top 6
    • 2 from middle 6
    • 3 from bottom 6

    No complaints there. 

    Its now up to the team to capitalise on that fixture and romp into the 8 and maybe top 4.

    Check out Rounds 8 to 17, its a bloody horrible run of travel away, home, travel away.

    I know we have the last 7 in Melbourne but we will be well cooked with all the travel

    From a club progression viewpoint that fixture is damning.

    Sponsor contracts have multiple kicker clauses and I bet we hardly kick one.

    You were right. After our first year out of the finals, we are North Melbourne. All late games on Sunday (pox) against interstate sides (double pox). Back to Gee-hole and Marvel

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
