Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Well we can be pretty certain on Rich v Carlton Thursday and uts been leaked Essendon v Hawks on Friday. We also know there are no games in Oerth round 1
And you can just about be sure that Port will get a North or a West Coast at home lol
Thats why they are locks for the top 4 year in year out

You really think the 4 double-ups in your own group is about sabotaging the Lions and not about attempting to help Essendon and Carlton get into Finals?I love how even non-Brisbane fans have realised this. Also known as the "oh sh!t that's right, Gold Coast were top 6 this year" clause.
Will be fascinating to see how many teams actually get assigned 4 double-up opponents from their own grouping of 6. "1" would be the early favourite I'd have thought.
At least the AFL are being obvious and transparent about it now I guess
I haven't read up on the groups. what are the changes? Crows finished 5th, yeah? so who would be in our group? Bris, Gee, Hawks, GC?
Top six (in terms of the fixture) is the teams that finished 1-4 at end of h/a season, plus the winners of the elimination finals (even if they finished 7th and 8th at end of h/a season).
Did a deep dive into this on ChatGPT. There would be no other club in the league this looked after. They played Melbourne in 2021 but the AFL made sure that situation never happened again.

2007* was the last time they finished the H&A season outside of Victoria. *full seasons without Covid. For what it’s worth in the original 2020 fixture they were scheduled to play Adelaide in Geelong in the Round 23, the eventual wooden spoon team.
They'll get that crowd no matter when they play.
You have got us off a 5 day break from Easter Monday while you get to cruise against Essendon. It should almost be a gimme for the Dogs
Not really. If one team starts to drop later in the season it would be more low to mid 60's
Sounds like you're proposing that Collingwood should play at Kardinia Park? Hard for Geelong to play the top Vic sides in Geelong when the AFL won't let us.

You know what's worse? We haven't played Melbourne twice in a year since 05. This is the third time we've played them in GR so people who can't afford to go to GR haven't been able to see two Melbourne based clubs in their state 2 out of 3 years.
The average for the three games since they made this matchup a thing (23, 24, 25) is 74,410. The average for the 10 previous matchups (excluding 2016, 2020 and 2021), is 53,899.
Essendon hasn’t played Melbourne in a home game (outside of Covid times) since 2018.
Hawks own the Dogs, hopefully a better fight put up after the last few spankings.
Yes, because late round fixtures are worth more than 4 premiership points.

Care less about that compared to actually being in Melbourne.
And the ridiculous nature of the fixture is that you had 8 home games in a row against us from 2011-2018 and now we can’t even get a game in Melbourne between the two.
Its a double header
If they were trying to help Carlton they wouldn’t schedule an extra away game for them would they?
