The AFL 2025 Fixture

Whispering_Jack
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
