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

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • 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.
