THIS
Collingwood get an extra game at home by standing up to the AFL, now we get jibbed with this crap.. The AFL know we turn up and make the league a fortune and will walk all over us provided we let them.

Its about TV ratings, C7 will be frothing at that thought.
how does anyone know what we are getting if we havent seen the full fixture yet?THIS
We travelled three times to adelaide last year, the most we will do in 2026 is twice
We also travelled to sydney last year and obviously will again in 2026
But other than that what other information do we have? I expect we will at least play once in Perth and Brisbane, but why are we assuming we somehow will be playing a lot of games away from Vic?
It really is pathetic.
And if people in Adelaide whinge about travelling, I'll spew up. Other than the 12 genuine home games they get (and they have a genuine home ground advantage unlike most Melbourne sides) they also get another home game gifted to them.

We will get our normal quota of interstate games, however they have strategically given us a tough start to the year with away games v Sydney & Adelaide in the first 4 weeks, assume our normal Thursday against Tigers will be thrown in there as well.
I think you may have missed the point.Gather round for away sides IMO should be shared between the other clubs.
Example
ies would’ve been the obvious choice this year.It’s not fair that we play them twice and other sides don’t play them at all.
Very unbalanced.

AFL fixture news: Back to the beginning in Gather Round
Carlton will launch Gather Round against Adelaide for the second time in four years.
Honestly don't care nor put any weight into the fixture.
Every year we have either a hard or easy fixture and in the end it means nothing.
If we are good enough the results will show regardless of who we play and when and where.
Bring it on!

Because foamers need to foam..
Seriously though, agree totally. And who gives a flying **** where we play?
If we are to become a serious footy side, we need to play and beat anyone, anywhere, anytime..

Totally agree, but this is no time to bring common sense and logic into my whinging.

They love playing us and are licking their lips already.
Our boys are like rabbits in headlights against this mob and our coaches are their b1@#$3s.
This will be embarrassing…..again.
Sorry but you need to be honest with yourselves.

And they'll pick our best 22 players for the state of origin in Perth prior to the season.... and then penalise us for being over the cap for paying them to play in the AFL sanctioned exhibition game.Freo in Perth round 4 followed by GC in GC round 6
Man we are going to have an easy run into the wilkd card round
True...but there's a bigger picture. The draw is inequitable enough...so surely it makes sense to share around who plays an Adelaide side in gather round. In what world does it make sense that we'll do it twice before some clubs have done it once?
The AFL proving yet again they have no clue.

We are a big club that people want to see
We should relish these opportunities, not shy away from them
I think this is what "culturally defeating ourselves" looks like
A little confused on us playing the Crows for a second time, plenty of other teams to take a turn against them…
One thing that should be taken more into consideration, is the balance between clubs matched up, seems like Brisbane Geelong & GWS have all been gifted teams way outside their weight divisions…
Anyway **** the Crows hope we can knock’em over and shut them all up…

Every year 2 teams get screwed over in Gather Round.. the two that have genuine away games vs Crows and Port. Of course we are one of them. As sure as the sun rising.
The Crows would pull a capacity crowd against even a low supporter base team. It's clearly all about TV numbers and I'm sick of the AFL always going for that over fairness.
Looking like a tough fixture to start the year and we will be under the pump early and have pressure mounting. Could be a circus all year about the coach etc.. but time will tell.

So after 4 seasons we play a SA team in a ‘non neutral away’ gather round game for the 2nd time while 9 other clubs have not had their turn including Brisbane who have made 7 consecutive finals and won the last 2 flags.
Rest assured we will have a lot of Saturday and Sunday games.
