2025 Fixture - Enjoy the offseason while it lasts

I take that as a compliment. We’ve been right for 20 straight years so I dont think we will look foolish if they turn it around.

Im hopeful that we have a tough early draw.

I dont want to see the club fall from grace again after what July?

Could be worse.

Putting Carlton Hawks on a Thursday night sure is a choice.
And Carlton Pies? JFC, really trying to get people to attend huh

Thursday night footy is great for neutrals.

I enjoy watching other clubs play on Thursdays.

But people from the country simply cannot attend these games.

The live attendance is here nor there for the AFL with Thursday nights.

It’s 100% on broadcast audience.

That fixture should be reserved for 4:40 Sunday. It’s a bottom 4 clash

The block buster games on Thursday night seems to be pretty decent.

Filth, Scum, Richmond, Geelong, etc.

Ess v Port, Ess v North infront of 20k people at Marvel on a Thursday.

Brilliant.

What have we done to be deserving of this timeslot

Didn’t challenge any suspensions this year it’s a pat on the head from the afl for being good boys

Have the 3rd largest attendance at games last year and I suspect we bring big TV numbers

Onfield performance?

Big Melb clubs - Hawthorn - 14 wins, Carlton 13 wins, Pies 12 wins, Dons 11 wins.

People make it out like we got belted each week last year and finished with 2 wins
