2024 Fixture

The AFL quickly forgets the money we generate for them.
2 x 5 day breaks
Playing at the bush oval in Geelong
No Friday nights
Marvel home game against a team that plays home games there
Port Adelaide in Adelaide …again !!!
Richmond v carlton no longer the season opener
I don’t believe in theories about vendettas or punishments ….or do I ?

The first team is simply listed in alphabetical order for all the clubs for the gather round fixture.
Home teams for each game in Gather Round will be confirmed when the full 2024 Toyota AFL Premiership Season fixture is released later this week.
But either way - we are playing Aints twice but no HG at the G. Ripped off! Advantage Aints; screwed by AFL under the new Dill.

The AFL obviously feel we are going to fall away and be ordinary to watch next year. Lots of off Broadway games and Sunday night graveyard games scheduled.

I've got a feeling they will get us to go to Geelong too.
The hate squad is alive and it's ready for payback
You can read the AFL like a book.
I knew we end up at The telstra dome to play stkilda, automatic loss
Then a visit down to Geelong where we never ever win.
The usual Port game on Adelaide, let's just make it our home game.
Now that Brisbane have over come the slapping we seem to visit the gabba every year.
No double up games either against WC & North proves the AFL hate us.

Back to 1992??
*Don't have to book tickets
*Don't have to wait in lines'
*You can turn up 10 minutes before the bounce.
Sounds good to me.
Let's see if the bandwagoners stay strong.

We finished bottom 6, the Blues top 6 and they only topped us by 27K in home and away attendances, link below shows home and away only (finals don't count) plus blues played pies twice and got 80K+ on the 2nd meeting.

The AFL just gotta do the maths, had we played pies twice we finish second, or if we had made the 8 we would easily have finished second. We topped attendances in 2015, 2017, 2018 & 2021 and came 2nd in 2016 and 2019. Shouldve topped it again in 2019 but the Pies played the Bombers twice and we played GWS twice, reverse that fixture and we come out on top again. Pies get looked after like no other.

Exactly, AT. It's also a factor with teams like Cartoon/Bummers et al playing their HGs at Marvel under a roof, weather-protected. The MCG attendance often drops off when winter cold and/or rain forecast for a proper outdoor stadium which lowers attendance by 5/10K or more IMO. Especially young families and older fans, and especially night games with several degrees colder.

The AFL is a completely contrived and corrupted competition and will remain so until there are home and away games against every opposition every season.

How they get to that remains the question.

The stadium’s official capacity is listed at 15,000, but numbers have been capped at 10,500 for AFL games to help ensure fans have an enjoyable match day experience.

At 165m long, it’s similar to most AFL venues, but is significantly skinnier than most at 110m wide, compared with Adelaide Oval (125m), the MCG (141), Marvel Stadium (128.8), Optus Stadium (130) and Giants Stadium (127.5).

Norwood Oval is a five-minute drive from Adelaide’s CBD, but fans are advised to use public transport as there is no on-site parking available and on-street parking near the stadium is limited.
This is Dillon's sick joke and his opening attack on our great club.

If we finished bottom 6 how TF dont we play twice against the other bottom 6 sides??

Corrupt.

The trip round 1 to the GC isn't half cashing in on the Hardwick walk out ......................Contrived as F!@#.

I'm just about out to be honest, I think theyve just about broke me.

This is taking the pisss stuff really.

Opening round with half the comp not playing!!

What kind of moronic BS is that??

Its pure Money grabbing at the behest of the broadcasters pushing an extra week of games within the same fixtured season..........................same for all the byes.

This AFL can seriously GAGF,.

Tigers will be raped like never before at Metricon in the heat by the umps to ensure a win for the Suns at our expense perfect for the narrative.

Then the Blues will be right up for it and likely smack us off a short break to effectively have us behind the 8 ball ASAP for the rest of the season.

Its a complete farce and so laughable its actually sad what they have done to the game and the competition.
