Preview 2015 AFL Fixture (Early Look)

[mrpresident1000]

North play five home games in a row on in that fixture, and the reigning premiers have a lot of Sunday matches early on.

Every fixture will have anomalies.....

 

[pjcrows]

Probably been asked but when are we expecting the official draw?

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Probably been asked but when are we expecting the official draw?

Two Thursday's away.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Also people who quote the whole fixture just to point out one or two little things should be permabanned.

 

[stmookeyj]

Adelaide doesn't have a drop in does it?

As of last year they do. Gabba and SCG only regular grounds without.

Port won't play Freo in last round again. If that happened I'd kill someone from the AFL

 

[Pessimistic]

I think the biggest question from the previous finals should be the marquee game of round one.

In 2015 it should be sydney v port who was the second best team ?

In 2014 geelong v freo or haw v geelong

 

[philreich]

Port won't play Freo in last round again. If that happened I'd kill someone from the AFL

I read somewhere that NEITHER Adelaide team will play in Perth in round 23: guess we'll find out in 11 days how true that is.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Should be just derbies in the last week, no team steps on a plane... never understood that argument that its too energy sapping to have a derby before finals... any game can be energy sapping

 

[pjcrows]

What have the AFL said about byes and split rounds next year?

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Still no leaks? There's only ten days until release. This is the least I think we have ever heard about the fixture so close to release.

 

[sverik25]

There will probably be more on it over the next week I'd imagine. Until this week, the footy media have been preoccupied with trade and FA news etc.

 

[Dirty Bird]

hmmmmmmmm, I wonder.
The AFL like to switch which team opens the season at home for the SA and WA teams. But I half suspect being our 25th year, we might request to open our home schedule against Hawthorn.

Makes me wonder if we'll play away 1st week (so Hawks and Cats can play) then getting Hawthorn in week 2.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Only 1 bye

Can see us playing you Round 2 in Adelaide as I think we will open Easter Monday vs Geelong

 

[mrpresident1000]

HEY GUYS I FOUND A LEAK!!!!!!!

ENJOY!!!!!!

Hopefully that answers some questions....

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Answers questions about port.

 

[shintemaster]

Should be just derbies in the last week, no team steps on a plane... never understood that argument that its too energy sapping to have a derby before finals... any game can be energy sapping

Only really an issue if the teams are both jockeying for position - in which case it would be a battle anyway.

 

[mrpresident1000]

Answers questions about port.

Yeah well it's all i could find at this stage.... do you have anything?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Grrrrrrrr.
If Port get ANZAC Day. I'll be annoyed about 1 of 2 things.

1) We have a home game in week 1, so we don't open the season vs Hawthorn. (Which I want this year, next time I'll want it is in another 25 years)

or

2) We wont alternate each week and it'll go Port, Adel, Adel, PA or PA, Adel, PA, PA. Should always alternate home games outside of Vic. Don't want to go 3 weeks without a game. THe bye makes it tough enough.

 

[mikey127]

Hurry up leaks. Even better just release it end of this week now that trade talk has died off

 

[mrpresident1000]

Does anyone have any leaks..... this is getting really annoying.... leaks are usually released by this time!!!

 

[mikey127]

Closest thing to a leak I have Is Greg Swann saying that the Lions will play an early season game in Melbourne.

 

[mrpresident1000]

Ok well let's have a look @ round 1 matchups then.

Confirmed
Geelong vs Hawthorn (Easter Monday)
Brisbane vs Collingwood (Saturday Night, April 4)
Carlton vs Richmond (Thursday Night, April 2)
Sydney vs GWS (Saturday Twilight, April 4)

Leaving these teams to play Round 1, let's try and put it together...
Port Adelaide (Playing away)
Adelaide (Hosting)
Gold Coast (Playing Away)
Fremantle (NOONE KNOWS) (Presumably hosting, on the road Round 1 last year)
West Coast (NOONE KNOWS) (Presumably playing away, hosted Bulldogs round 1 last year)
Essendon (NOONE KNOWS)
Melbourne (NOONE KNOWS)
N.Melbourne (NOONE KNOWS)
Western Bulldogs (NOONE KNOWS)
Saint Kilda (NOONE KNOWS)

There can not be derbies or showdowns round 1 (Clubs request to wait until after Round 5 for these events)
