A double-header at Marvel Stadium will be a first as the fixture for the first 15 rounds in 2025 and the match-ups for the rest of the year are revealed in the first season with a new broadcast deal.
The AFL has introduced a mid-season double-header at Marvel Stadium during Sir Doug Nicholls round when Carlton will host GWS and North Melbourne will be the home team against Collingwood in separately ticketed matches.
Anyone who plays Richmond twice in 2025 is likely to be a winner as the Tigers rebuild their list with a bunch of high draft picks after losing premiership players Shai Bolton, Jack Graham, Liam Baker and Daniel Rioli in this year’s trade period.And one of the lucky recipients is last year’s preliminary finalists and perennial contenders Geelong, who play the Tigers in round 17 and 24, giving their finals chances a late-season boost.
Carlton, who are not involved this season, were the only Victorian team who played in opening round last season to make finals. Melbourne, the Magpies and Richmond all missed. with matches shown on delay on Channel Seven, which is the likely explanation for the Showdown being played in round nine.
