2025 Fixture

[WilliamPowell]

I give Yze until round 10.....

For a contract extension 

Surely no chance for either ?

Way more chance of my scenario than WP's...especially if we're 1-9 or 0-10 after going 2-21....

He won't be sacked any time soon if at all

Suppose I should add one of these  for good measure right

Personally I can see 3 even 4 wins in the first 10 rounds 

I just saw this  ^^^^ when I posting the update to the fixture

Happy to say I was spot on with the number of wins

It was always on the cards wasn’t it? Just needed a good start and some luck in the close ones

Slot GWS v St Kilda in for the early Sunday game and this makes some sense for the round 24 slot.
AFL says the actual fixture still a few days away @FOXFOOTY

[WilliamPowell]

What a crook "a few days away".

Absolutely no reason why it hasn't been announced

There's a bye the next week for the top 8

This is just a case of the broadcasters procrastinating

What kind of crap scheduling is that? Surely 1 of WB vs Freo or Brisbane vs Hawks have to open the round.

Essendon were going to play Thursday or Friday night due to the Wednesday game
They gave them the lesser slot on Thursday

I guess that makes sense. 4 day break would be rough.

Still can’t for the life of me understand why they couldn’t have fit in the bombers vs suns catch-up game in any 1 of the 100 bye rounds we had though.

Other than Bulldogs V Freo its a round full of dead rubbers!  Yawn!  I thought the last round was supposed to be an edge of the seat thriller where exciting things can happen?     
Nobody can significantly change their position or achieve much & its really just the Do's Vs the Dont's with nothing at stake.  Top sides will go into self preservation mode playing vanilla, bruise free football & bottom sides wont be gunning for 4 points at the expense of draft position ... 
Finale or just plain finished?     

[Tiger Khosh]

Lions vs Hawks is very much a big game. Hawks most likely will need to win to get into the 8, lions may need to win to get a home final or even stay in the top 4.

They offered that to the teams and Essendon refused to lose their in season bye

Well it certainly helped them keep their players fit and injury free…..
