"We are really pleased to be able to deliver a fixture that balances great broadcast slots and great access for fans," AFL EGM clubs, broadcast and fixturing Travis Auld said.

"Momentum early is key, and the fixture has been designed in a way to spread the marquee showpiece Thursday and Friday nights timeslots across all of the key states including games at the MCG, Marvel Stadium, SCG, The Gabba, Adelaide Oval and Optus Stadium.

"Thursday night blockbusters remain a priority for us, both from a broadcast and crowd-build perspective. We feel we have the right balance, having five in the first five rounds, a break then Thursdays come back into play across rounds 13 through 15.

"The Sunday afternoon 3:20pm timeslot worked really well last season – big match-ups, big crowds and some of the best games of the season –we are hoping that continues in 2023."

The draw throws up a number of changes to previous years, headlined by Gather Round in round five that will see all 18 clubs play matches in South Australia at three venues across four days.

2023 FIXTURE: Primetime Lion kings, blockbusters galore, bye tweak

Two of last season's big drawcards will feature heavily on Thursday and Friday nights in 2023 after the AFL released the full fixture

[Nelso]

At least Hinkley will be gone by the middle of the season with that draw.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Carlton have the most prime time games next season, as is our divine right

 

[Billy ray]

All the stuff they always talk about never happen. Like free to air national coverage of a showdown for example.
It’s the same old same old.
And quirks not fixed like brisbane never having played at optus in perth

Melbourne haven't played West Coast at the MCG since 2014 is another one.
Lucky we play well in Perth but it's still very bizzare

 

[Billy ray]

Presume no advantage has been taken of public holidays outside of victoria. Yet again

We've played Freo in Perth several times, but never West Coast. I agree, very odd.

 

[Fadge]

So, who's got the 'hardest' draw?!?

 

[hawkinoz]

So, who's got the 'hardest' draw?!?

without a doubt Hawthorn. Worst we have been handed ever. Our earlier worst one was 2013.

This must be AFL's informal punish the pricks strategy.

 

[1972championsofaust]

So, who's got the 'hardest' draw?!?

Crows… Double Up Pies,Power,Lions,Suns and travel weary,air miles collectiing,Adelaide goes to every state and territory except the ACT plus throw in Ballarat again ffs!

 

[The Victorian]

Crows… Double Up Pies,Power,Lions,Suns and travel weary,air miles collectiing,Adelaide goes to every state and territory except the ACT plus throw in Ballarat again ffs!

Suns travel to every state and territory. Every one of them plus only 9 games at Carrara. You have 13 at Adelaide Oval

 

[docks]

Carlton have the most prime time games next season, as is our divine right

But will they make the finals?

 

[carlton_99]

 

[Quivorir]

Thursday nights not being a permanent fixture sucks.

 

[Fadge]

But will they make the finals?

Carlton getting belted on Friday nights.

Great way to start a weekend.

 

[Fadge]

Phew. I'm glad someone worked it out.

Pity it means nothing.

 

[carlton_99]

Phew. I'm glad someone worked it out.

Pity it means nothing.

Agree - fixture difficulty rankings are meaningless considering there is so much movement up/down the ladder with teams each year. But thought it was interesting nonetheless

Countless variables each year, each week, and within games.

 

[eth-dog]

How TF do a bottom 4 side play 2 top 4 sides twice the following year? Including the premiers.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

But will they make the finals?

The 66 game rebuild is nearly finished

 

[Jibroni]

Id dont mind mind our fixture but why the hell we have to play Geelong at Geelong again?

Also we have not had a home game against West Coast since 2014.

And the AFL seems to love Carlton.

 

[Blackhawk42]

The AFL taking the piss putting North vs Port Adelaide in Hobart on a Saturday afternoon game at 2:10.

This would be essential viewing for most footy fans if they put it on at Marvel on a Saturday night.

Is there some player welfare going on for JHF?
