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

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
