How?

Bullshit leaks and drip feeding it to stay in the news cycle.

Then half the rostered not locked in to assist with tv , makes it hard to plan trips etc.

It's not for the fans, plus there's other shit to do than sit around waiting for the AFL to release a fixture.
It's not even Xmas

That's a yucky fixture to me, though you can never really know til the following year how hard a team's fixture has actually been, teams change a lot.

How out of all the sides in the top 4 last year we probably got the best double ups. How’s it a bad draw? Less trash time slots too
 
Jokes aside, not playing WCE until the last round when all other double ups have happened is the stupidest ****ing thing I have seen so far

Never know Horse may rest players this time from a long trip I know shooting for the stars here

Worst game to rest anyone.

Pity North isn't a few weeks later.

Ideally you want a couple of games 3-4 weeks out to manage a few, so you're not giving people 2 weekends off before a final.

Hopefully the Bombers are trash late again.
 
Carlton and Melbourne gifted with the fixture.

Our draw ok by me. But only one home game between 15 March and 4 May (v Port 20 April) is a bit weird. Only 2 afternoon home games to R16.
 
Annoyed af we're not playing Pies at the SCG or MCG. Imo that game has the best regular season atmosphere.

I'm also in the minority who thinks gather round is shit, the way the AFL has done it.
 
floating fixtures suck. Just release it in one go. Fine to have the final round as floating or even the last 2 rounds but everything else should be released now.

Melbourne came 12th or whatever and Carlton 8th. Hardly have been gifted off last years performance
 
Putting some swans games on FTA in 2025 with a delay is so dumb.

The fact that every swans (and GWS) game was live into NSW was a great move.

Feel like the league is going backwards.
It's because FOX/KAYO have the live rights to all games on a Saturday .
Personally im happy as i hate the 7 commentators apart from Jude and Hodge

The majority of swans/gws games shown on FTA in NSW are Foxtel commentators.
Channel 7 just picks up the feed and shows them live on 7Mate.

Showing them on delay on 7mate is just dumb.
Delayed sports. In the internet age. Dumb.

Doesn’t everyone have Kayo these days though and Saturdays most are at pubs.
 
Hardly mate my Saturdays are fine. AFL is on Fox/Kayo. They are better commentators less Kelli

His point is not everyone spends their weekend at the pub.

Also Kelli is a Kayo commentator who will have more games now that Fox is doing all 9 games.
 
Nup and I don't go to pubs.
Having said that, Swans games on delay might be better for my heart AND my temper!

Hahaha we need to have a pub day together lol
 
It's an abolute luxury to watch the Swans each week these days with Kayo. And also discuss it with fellow supporters.

Remember only getting the occasional game on TV as a kid, sitting by the radio, in regional SA, being thankful to the ABC for broadcasting different games sometimes on SA or Vic stations, so you had more chance. And I'm only 38.

Met my first fellow Swans fan at uni in Adelaide. Couple of others at work in my 20s.

I had a space on the fridge set aside for the fixture and now it is only half full! :mad:
