Fixture drop ⚠️ ‘Absolute win-win’ Swans CEO backs in AFL’s ‘Opening Round’ for 2025 | Fox Footy

[@LDSports933]

If they really want to give NSW & QLD some fresh air they should do a split round instead of this round zero/opening round BS. Teams having random byes in the first few rounds is a terrible way to start the season.

Good idea

[@jessehaberle9094]

Opening round was not a success lmao those games would’ve been sold out anyway

[@brettbrett9973]

Killing the game. Have said it for 20 years,

[@carletonclements4931]

I speak for nearly everyone here: that is demented.

[@benjaminstephens5489]

So glad Carlton pulled out of opening round

[@steve8510]

Collingwood propping up the interstaters as per usual

[@malcolmbish9756]

We don't want an opening round

[@shadzyalex]

the opening round is pretty bs in my opinion they choose 5 finalist teams and 3 teams outside the top 8, if they're going to make an opening round add other teams into it instead of having 4 matches played between 8 teams

[@DesyncGaming.]

Round 0 sucks!!! It’s such an anticlimactic way to start the season. Not to mention it makes our alrdy shirt uneven competition even more uneven.

He sounds like a politician

[@mark8860]

Afl try not to incorporate collingwood into everything to prop up the league challenge: impossible

[@GusE1389]

Didn’t work last year and won’t work this year stupid idea you taking away the buzz 🤦‍♂️

[@zigzag8949]

Opening round sucks. Nobody wants it, yet another dreadful example of self important interference from some disconnected executive. Its about as popular as AFL-X 😂
