2026 AFL Fixture

[Millsie69]

We've got Dogs in gather round.

Confirmed?

 

[TylerDurden]

Confirmed?

Media believe so.

 

[Millsie69]

Media believe so.

Hope it's correct. Glad it's not one of the SA teams.

Meh - doesn't really matter. Finish 10th and we are in baby !

Lol. More that, as a Hawks fan living in Adelaide, I love that Gather Round has 2/3 times given us an extra fixture here.

And the big thing too is that it allows us to watch other teams/something different as well. Everything else here we’re a minority surrounded by Crows or Port fans. Gather Round gives us something different

Needs to be Adelaide Oval or we've been massively screwed over.

 

[Crankyhawk]

The only two teams who should cop the 4 double ups should be the grand finalists. Of course that won’t be the case.

looks like the afl read your earlier post and went "lets show him"

GWS- opening round
*- Round 1

Bye- Round 3
Geelong Easter Monday- Round 4

Bye Round 5 would make more sense after a Monday game perhaps?

Is it Gather Round that week?
Or before Easter?

Gather Round is Round 5 / After Easter I believe

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Easter Monday in 2026 will be on Monday, April 6, 2026

Gather round will take place from Thursday, 9 April through to Sunday, 12 April

So with Port playing the Adelaide oval game the Sunday night, I assume we will be the Norwood slot again… unless we get sat night?

Would cry if we get shafted to the Barossa

Excellent result. Shouldn't be too hard to get a ticket.

The major disappointment being that Geelong and West Coast are playing at Norwood (where we stay at a mates place) on the Sunday. Wouldn't even go to that game if I got free tickets.

Gather round

Gather round.
Geelong V WCE

The AFL are about as see through as Piastri’s team.

I will be eager to see if the AFL have the gall to give them a double up game later in the year at alphabet stadium.

 

[palmomagpie]

Bit of a weird Sunday. What's the big draw to stick around for an extra day? At least Port vs Haw was a heated grudge match. They've just put all the dead rubber games on Sunday

 

[1972championsofaust]

Hearing its Carlton as Crows opponent in Gather Round 2026.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Like we play dogs at AO, rest of the round is a bit lame.

I'd be interested in Port and St.Kilda. I expect the Saints to be decent and Port to be horrible, but by the time Gather Round comes that won't fully be realised yet, so it could end up being a big result in the context of both sides seasons.

Gather round is Geelongs home game
Any double up v Eagles will be in Perth

5 day break into the doggies is dissapointing. But i guess they have a 6 day break so it's not too bad.
