Just curious is anyone else waiting on the draw before they decide what membership they will decide on? I live in Geelong(the greatest team of all...........blah blah) so I hope Sat arvo 2.30,even Sunday 1.10 is good for me.Marvel stadium is out because ,because.K Park is out also as I still am recovering from our 20 goal plus defeat one Sunday many moons ago.
 
Nope I really couldn't give a stuff about the draw in this contrived competition cos I already know 4 things.

Tigers will get a harder draw than teams that finished well above us - ie Collingwood.

2 Collingwood, 3 Coke Cats and 4 Suns will all get dream fixtures that will help shoehorn them into the finals.

I only have Insider membership the last 12 odd years cos I dont go to games anymore but still sign up to support the club.

London to a brick we'll get sent to the litter box while none of the other "Big 4" clubs do and once again be the only Big 4 club that doesn't get to play the other 3 twice.

we will have the hardest draw of anyone. We will be the only team that only plays teams that finished above us and the only team that doesn’t play anyone that finished below

I think the AFL are bringing out a new indicator for the difficulty of a clubs draw, draft hand strength. They’re looking to drop it around 2027.
 
When is the Draw announced (as opposed to the inevitable HUN/media leaks)?

ChatGPT is wise:

"The 2025 AFL fixture is expected to be officially announced in early December 2024. This aligns with the league's typical pattern of revealing the upcoming season's schedule during the early weeks of December"

Wouldn't make sense to announce the DRAW then (Nov) when the DRAFT and AFLW finals are concurrent.....

Early December better aligns with the media propaganda cycle :)
