The 2025 Fixture

 

[zoomba23]

We have played Geelong at Kardinia Park every year this century except 2000, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017 and 2020. 19 times in 25 seasons.

11 years in a row is absolutely batshit. Jesus Christ

The Roos v Hawks games in Hobart are non sensical

We should have forfeited Round 24 this year in protest

That one was in Launceston. It was their home game. Think the players did forfeit tho...

 

[ansonholt]

As much as I expect us to be screwed over by the AFL again, what at least I'd like to see is the following:

• No goddamn 9 games in a row at Marvel for * or the Dogs
• Someone else play Geelong in Geelong, instead of us
• No games in ****ing Launceston. Please.

Then I will cop whatever happens to our fixture.

EDIT: And I forgot:

* How about sending that Black and White team to Geelong and interstate a few times this year. Is that too much to ask?

We kind of did.

I’d like to see at least one game in Queensland. Last year Brisbane played their home game against us in Adelaide and the Suns in Darwin.

We will likely play Brisbane in Adelaide again.

Timing of gather round coupled with the need for relative equal breaks to Good Friday/ Good Friday eve limits who they will put us against.

Meaning that we will be odds on to play Brisbane in Adelaide

 

[Gasometer]

Here’s my tip for Gather Round

Unless we play at Adelaide Oval, stay home

 

[Wild Bill]

Interesting who our double up games will be.

Should get 3 of these 5 - Tigers, WCE, Crows, Dee’s & Suns.

Hoping for Tigers and WCE as we should be much better than both. Dees the other to reduce travel. But I think we get the Suns twice.

Will be fuming if we don’t get a game in QLD this year.

 

[Reagan Smash]

Are they still doing round zero ?

Or something new again like round -1 ?

I'd rather we play several. Its only half an hour away.

A single game in Launceston represents a 5th game in Tassie.

An away game is an away game. It doesn't matter where it is in terms of what we pay for membership.


I live in Tassie anyway so I get to see more games if we play Hawthorn in Launceston.

I would argue that an away game isn't an away game, that they are not all equal.

Playing Hawthorn in Launceston or Geelong in Geelong gives more advantage to them (not that they have needed it recently) but it also means that the majority of members who have already lost reasonable access to 4 games lose access to more.

I would much rather play Hawthorn at the MCG as a replacement home game than I would play them in Launceston. I would much rather never have to play in Geelong ever.

While I live in Northern Tassie I'd rather we play Hawthorn in Launceston.

I get it.

While I live in Melbourne I would be happy to never have to play in Tasmania again.

Fair enough. I'm gonna make the most of it for the next few years tho.

We played five games in Tassie this year. That's as many games as I'd seen in the previous 10 years, with covid and living in the middle of nowhere up north.

The game in Launceston this year was a nightmare too. You were probably lucky you didn't have to watch it.

My prediction for 2025 Fixture First 12 Rounds - We will get screwed over hard.
3 home games at Marvel in the first 12.

Round 1 - Port Adelaide - Away
Round 2 - West Coast - Home Marvel
Round 3 - Geelong in Geelong
Round 4 - Sydney at SCG
Round 5 - Gather Round - Brisbane - Mount Gambier
Round 6 - Carlton - Home ( Good Friday)
Round 7 - Adelaide - Home ( Hobart)
Round 8 - Western Bullflogs- Away Marvel ( 4.45 on a Sunday)
Round 9 - Whorefawn- Away( Launceston)
Round 10 - Collingwood - Home Marvel
Round 11 - GC - Away - NT (again)
Round 12 - Fremantle - Home - (Hobart)

Round 2 wont be happening at Marvel

 

[Billy Not Really]

North Melbourne FC: Our home is wherever you pay us the most to be.

We have no real home-field advantage, and no Marvel or Blundstone don't count anymore.

Well we need supporters to roll up for games and not be out numbered by opposition supporters.
Attm
We have 2 WA mid year back to back games
2 Tas games which be hoping for back to back early in the season
An NT game
A NSW game
A SA game
Then the rest at Marvel.
But going forward would love to see us get more inventive
If we Drawn to play the SA teams or QLD teams or a Suns in QLD or NT in a season try and get them back to back as well
Example

No one other than the 15k or so lifelong supporters will attend to watch the absolute dogshit we’ve dished up over the last five years.

The club needs to win. And it’ll solve most of the issues.

Change the Geelong game to play a team in Darwin or Cairns and have the Cats play us at Marvel..
