I will find extra lower finals tedious but then, Go Storm.

can we have 2 games in geelong next year?

We should get a favourable draw given we finished in the bottom 6.

Richmond to play a home game next year in Hobart with the promise that they retain 10 home games at the MCG and no home games at Marvel.

Why then did we play 1 home game at Marvel last year, instead of our usual 10 at the MCG (and the other in Alice)?

I actually didn't mind a home game at Marvel against West Coast, but it's interesting that after a 9 year hiatus, we were back to playing home games at Marvel.

Weird that they'd rather send their supporters to Tasmania instead of Docklands for a 'home' game. It's not as if they need the money, assuming there's any on offer. If there isn't then it's extremely weird.

Yeah but when their fans hate Marvel, they may as well cash in while they're [censored] and get the money.

When they get good again, they'll wipe this deal and push for 11 MCG home games, and if they get a Marvel home game they'll pull 20,000 extra than they will in the next two years of being bottom 4.

Ummmm. Away game v Lions in Brisbane in 85% humidity. No thank you!!! Let’s wait until May or June for any trip to the sunshine state

I’m the opposite. I’d prefer a soft opponent at the MCG with a greater chance of getting this new regime a win ASAP.

Last thing the club needs is a punishing first month with membership at mini crisis levels (to end 2025) given we’ve fallen behind St Kilda and Bulldogs and now pretty close to North at the bottom of the VIC pack.

Freo at Optus in round 2 according to Ryan Daniels

Hopefully that should and will mean a home MCG game in round 1 given we're in Perth in round 2.

Playing the Bombers again in Gather Round. Likely a double-header with Haw vs Bulldogs so tickets will be difficult to get.

Essendon in Gather Round again? Why is this a thing?

I also think that the year in between us playing them we were the two teams that faced the locals. 

Maybe not a double header given the times:

know a few fellas who go for Essendon, we like to make a day out of going to the footy, but going to adelaide probably too big of a day

Why the [censored] are we playing Essendon in Gather Round AGAIN?

At least we’ll likely get an MCG matchup against them in the return matchup later next year

Essendon again?! AFL could at least change it up a little bit …..

Don't know what's more surprising:

1) The AFL keep cutting and pasting the same Gather Rd fixtures (it's not just Dees V Dons)

or

2) We keep getting invited back to Adelaide Oval. Was 100% certain we'd be catching the bus to the Barossa for this one.

That's because our time slot is 12:45, so not exactly prime time
