Only looked quickly at the first 10 games and we have been absolutely shafted with short turnarounds interstate against decent opersition.
The fixture it's self gets a thumbs up.
Geez only one double up against top 6 from last year.
Fixture doesn't matter much for true premiership contenders. We may a bit off that and I think with this fixture a top 6 finish is really a must. Whether we will be seasoned against good opposition by September will be another matter.

Start RANT.
So the AFL has shafted us yet again.
A 40,000 capacity stadium is not good enough for 11 AFL home games??
But it's ok for the GWS Sydney Brisbane & the Suns in their smaller stadiums.
Oh Oh.. I wont mention the substandard stadiums in Hobart, Launceston, Darwin and Alice Springs.
As they will generate enough in viewers on the TV??
If that is the case so will 11 games at GMHBA.

End RANT.
*Great to see the Dawks venture down the highway. Along with those sooks in stripes.

It's a gentler start than season 2023, which combined with a much better/longer pre-season hopefully means we can bank some early wins. Two genuine home games and the Bulldogs on neutral ground from the first five is a big improvement.
The block of six games that follows will be tough and it'll be important to deliver at home to GWS (finally) and Port.
A mixed bag after that but no real horror run (on paper).
No double up against Collingwood is good. Likewise avoiding Port on the road.
Playing Richmond at GMHBA instead of the G makes a victory much more likely, and having a home/away game each vs Hawthorn adds balance too.
It would be very disappointing not to bank at least 13 wins from this fixture list.
After the worst season we've had in what seems like forever, this is also clearly the best fixture we've had in what seems like forever.
Makes sense, I guess.

April Fool's Day v Hawks at the G. That'll be my first game of the year. 
We play 6 games at the G. That’s pretty good.
Also didn’t we play north in Tassie in 22?

Lol was going to go with a friend (Tiger's fan) from work to v Richmond. Guess that's not happening now. Will have to wait until 2025 haha.
Still. Love the fact we're playing those pricks down there, suffer.

Without delving into who we play at home and who we play away that summary makes it look like a very favourable draw

I....... don't mind this fixture....
I think we've done very well all things considered, and if we are still in contention, this fixture will help us immensely.

Another thing I.m very grateful for is we don't have to play one of the Round 0 teams coming off their extra bye.
In round 6 Port have to travel to the MCG to play Collingwood coming off their bye (Port do get an extra home game to balance it out though)
North also get to play Carlton on a 6 day break after Carltons bye but that is their Good Friday game so they will be less upset about that

I think it's as good as we could have hoped for.
Loving Hawthorns' fixture.

I think it's a horrible fixture.
There's only 3 games in Geelong in the first 9 weeks. That 9 weeks is filled with short turnarounds and interstate trips.
There's a good chance we will have a poor record by the time the third game comes around. If there's one thing I know about our fans they stop turning up when the going gets tough. Could be a half empty K Park for final 7 games of the season there.

Hawks have no Friday night games 
If they're all as doom and gloom as you, sure!
My thoughts are simply if we don't cement ourselves easily in to finals with this fixture, then the club will finally need to make the decision to go in to 'rebuild' mode, however that is embraced etc.
