Fixture 2023 fixture

[Nathan Barley]

Do the Crows and port get paid extra for the round or is it just the other 16 clubs

 

[Section 5]

It will essentially be a 12th home game for them. Much as it's a 12th home game for us, looking at the fixture.

That will put our home game attendance averages down a bit

 

[Grasshopper17]

Might be time for afltables etc to add an "N" for neutral venue to go with "H", "A" and "F".

 

[Section 5]

From what i have read all players playing get the bonus along with the clubs
So, i imagine you don't want to be injured for that week and miss out on extra cash
It could be averaged over the whole group but that would be a bit odd

 

[Section 5]

Hearing round v Bulldogs at Marvel will be a Friday night

Saw this and my first thought was they have renamed round 5 again

 

[Dalions]

Deary me!

With the Magic Round in League, you can go to Suncorp and watch 4 games in a row which is part of the fun I imagine. I think it’s actually impossible for somebody to attend every game in the “Gather Round”. What is the point of it?

Why is Fremantle playing a game at 3pm Perth time on a Friday?

I imagine this doesn’t count towards fixture weightings so we will get a double up against north for free which is good.

 

[briztoon]

WOW I’m going to be that “guy” this time.

I can’t believe the amount of whining here about the “Gather Round”.

For a start, it’s an EXTRA round in the fixture now.

It hasn’t been taken away from anywhere or any team.


Secondly, unlike the NRL’s Magic Round, it’s going to be shared around on a yearly basis.

Expect NSW to get it next year.

I imagine QLD should get it before the Gabba is pulled down, and we’ll get it again, when the Gabba is rebuilt. (If the AFL has any common sense)


Ok, we got shafted to some country ground.

How many here would have genuinely gone if the game was in Adelaide?

There’s going to be tens of thousands of muppets from every team flying in to Adelaide, booking every hotel, filling every pub and cafe, etc.

Wouldn’t you prefer to stay out in a nice bnb or winery, where at least a quarter of the visitors are also Lions fans.

I would be far more likely to go if it was at a decent ground in adelaide

Nothing wrong with your post. It is just the way my mind was working at the time

Not that it matters too much, but it is 3 consecutive games at Suncorp over the Sat and the Sun with the weaker teams playing in the arvo

Yeah my bad it’s 3 instead of 4. Thanks for pointing that out.

Oh good, so all of the Brisbane and North members get the privilege to fight over the 12 seats at Mt Barker International Stadium

 

[dlanod]

I feel like they missed a trick not having us play Hawthorn there, playing for the Barker Rivalry Cup in Mount Barker.

this looks like a leaked fixture, with actual match times fixed up to the byes - i think its fairly likely to be accurate

ours looks fairly difficult tbh - double ups against melbourne, fremantle and collingwood from last years top 6


BUT

no match at gmhba

5 matches in melbourne proper - 4 listed at marvel and only 1 (!!!) at MCG

EDIT: 2 at MCG

For one minute I was happy the fixture came out (apparently)

But then got disappointed when I read that we might only have one MCG game

I think there are two at the 'G. According to the link, we play both Hawthorn and Melbourne there, rounds 13 and 18 respectively.

If this is accurate, then it looks like a solid fixture.
