2024 Fixture

[TubbsFarquhar]

So Port get round 1 at home again?

Sounds like it, but we had Round 1 at home for four straight years from 2019-2022 so I don't see this is an issue.

 

[Velvet George]

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.

Yep the whole narrative is bullshit.

If we are getting better draw it’s because we’ve copped our punishment whilst we were shit, but now playing a decent exciting brand of football and on the up, we deserve a better draw.

But even that’s crap, clubs like Carlton have been shit for years and haven’t suffered.

I bet we still don't play Essendon at home I would prefer to play Essendon in gather round on Friday and Port play Melbourne.

We are being set up here, I just know it. They hated we embarrassed Carlton last year

There's nothing scary about Melbourne.

Exactly as expected again

The AFL trying to schedule (for the matches not including the SA teams) as much garbage as possible in Gather Round

Five of the matches are good teams vs shitty teams (Brisbane/North, Collingwood/Hawthorn, Sydney/West Coast, Carlton/Fremantle and Richmond/St Kilda) assuming St Kilda/Carlton remain finalists and Fremantle/Richmond aren't

They've managed to get the non-Victorian game no one attends in there too (Gold Coast vs GWS)

 

[Velvet George]

Good to see the home of football acknowledged again

But even that’s crap, clubs like Carlton have been s**t for years and haven’t suffered.

We'll know it's all bullsh!t when we get the Ballarat/Darwin/Tassie/Geelong quartet of fixtures.

 

[Scorpus]

They should have sent Geelong and the Bulldogs off to play in Coober Pedy as punishment for years of crap regional fixtures and whinging

Morphettville park so they can play on a different pasty oval.

 

[Jibroni]

Apart from our game the remaining fixture is pretty putrid. Would have liked to see a game head to another SANFL ground or regional like Port Lincoln

In fairness to the VFL it makes it easier then for them to rip it away from us in a few years time and claim poor attendances.

That’s because the Vic’s all sulked about having Collingwood v St Kilda here

And right on cue. More sulking.

It is a shit game to finish gather round

Perfectly set up so the AFL can whinge SA didn't get enough supporters to the grounds so they can ship gather round to Melbourne where the AFL really wants it to be.

 

[Drummond]

Yep but the fixture is a hard one to get right. They’re really going to get ripped on no matter what they schedule because of the “this game could’ve drawn 70k at the G” sook. And not wanting to ”steal” a good match-up away from the season. Essentially Vics complain about everything

 

[El Doederino]

Hopefully Hawthorn start the season well, then they’ll all cry that it’s being held here

 

[footy4ever]

LOL on reading Crows to open Gather Round on Thurs night followed by the blockbuster Port and Essendon on Frid night... farking LOL.

BLOCKBUSTER I TELLS YA!

Their last 2 games have been big games, hopefully with Bombers recruits they can win this one

 

[cm_perfect]

Fluck it!
I was lazy last year and didn’t go to any games.
This year I will be OS.
Hopefully I can find a bar somewhere!!

 

[Redline]

I think the Lions v Kangaroo's should be half an hour earlier. Allow a bit more time for interstaters to do both games. The early Friday game will be huge this year.

I get why games are at Mount Barker, but no one wants to come from Melbourne and go there for the day. I would of kept the Sunday double header at Adelaide Oval.

I don’t think they want it in Melbourne. Sydney or Brisbane yes but not Melbourne

Cwd v Hawks should've been Sat night instead of Cats Dogs.

Rich v Saints at Norwood is weird. That'll sell out immediately, and would have gotten 25k-30k as a standalone game at Adelaide Oval
