the 2025 draw.

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.
Agree fully,same as myself, live in Geelong and absolutely hate mid week and late Sunday games.
 
*** I hate this round zero crap. Just get every team playing to kick off the season with.

Thursday through to Sunday, every team plays.

We continue to try and follow the American sports way of doing things …. TV TV TV
Yeah. I hate it. The game developed and grew into, IMO, the greatest team sport spectacle in the world without TV.
The fans always turned up and supported in droves.
Go too far away from what the fans want and the hardcore will drop off, and the sport will become only for “theatre goers” who are not loyal. Look at basketball.

Worst thing is our “ bar” gets opened closer and closer to game time 😭

2 years ago, I went to Allianz stadium in Sydney for the opening game of the A-League season. The rebuilt stadium had been opened a few weeks.

Anyway, one of the bars had happy hour before the game that ended half an hour before kickoff.

That’s the type of thing we need to get people through the door early… except the fun police will never allow it.
