You know, since 1870, Port have never opened gather round. Doesn't get more traditional than that.
Nice

We did have two back to back home games in 2023, mind you one of those was Gather Round, the other was the Showdown later in the year.

Can't see the AFL doing this round Zero in Sydney then not having a Friday night game in Melbourne in round 2.
We may get a round 2 Friday game, still won't be a standalone game.

Well we are likely away round 1 (which is technically round 2), and then home in round 2

So Wilson is actually referring to week 3?
Yes, but the AFL are calling this extra round Round 0, so I assume they can still call Richmond vs Carlton as the ‘Round 1’ opener

Still doesn't really change my view. Can't see Melbourne having 1 Friday night game in the first 3 weeks.
Our game will likely be 1 of 2 Friday games that day.
Unless it’s Easter, the AFL very very rarely have two Friday games.
"How do we have this bizarre round in the northern states, but still have Richmond/Carlton as the round 1 opener?"
"Call it round 0?"

I am extremely sceptical about how next year's fixture is being marketed to us.
Caro has been on 5aa the last few weeks trumpeting how great it is going to be for us, and that Olsen has done a great job getting this as compensation for the Sydney debacle.
2023 should not be the benchmark. I think 2016 and 2019 are reasonable benchmarks as both seasons were coming off having just missed the finals.
2016 we had:
2019 we had:
Benchmark should be:
If this is what is delivered, it is not a success. It is not great work by Olsen. It is not the AFL coming to the party. It is the default.

2016 we had:
- 3 games at the MCG
- 1 home Friday game
- 1 away Friday game
- final round at home
- no regional games
2019 we had:
- 1 game at the MCG
- 1 home Friday game
- 2 away Friday games
- first round at home
- 2 regional games
Benchmark should be:
- 2 games at the MCG
- 1 home Friday game (not including Gather Round)
- 1 away Friday game
- either first or last round at home
- no more than 1 regional game
If this is what is delivered, it is not a success. It is not great work by Olsen. It is not the AFL coming to the party. It is the default.

You were right about them leaking gather round, just wrong about the day.
Thursday night vs Melbourne. Port on the Friday vs Essendon.

Week after next is the draft
AFL carefully manage the news cycle in the off season
They’ll keep the fixture in the news all this week

Was always going to start - AFL need everyone to be aware during the men’s off season, AFLW doesn’t seem to have the same punch unfortunately.

A good test for us - Melbourne is a side that seems to play well against us at Adelaide Oval. Even the year we made the GF they beat us here. Our win loss record is 2-5
Wonder if we double up against them in 2024.
Now thinking about Caroline Wilson playing a big Vic club in Round 2, our fixture isn’t going to be easy the first month
Away - ?
Home - big Vic club (assume Collingwood or Carlton possibly Essendon or Richmond)
Away - ? or possibly Showdown
Home - Gather Round (Melbourne)

Ridiculous headline on Fox Sports: "Crows handed huge reward". No mention of Port.
What reward? How does that help us with premiership points? It looks like the beginning of a media campaign to convince us that
we are getting benefits from goal-gate. I think we should be the judges of that.
