THE WEEK OFF BEFORE FINALS
I like the idea of a weeks off prior to finals it will mean it will be a massive build up for finals week. #AFLFixture

A bye after Round 23 is utterly ridiculous. Puts the build up to finals on hold for a week. #AFLFixture

There's a week off between round 23 and the finals?! Where's the benefit for the top 4 sides then? @afl #AFLFixture

If there is a bye week before finals what is the point of a floating round 23? #AFLFixture

FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTY
Absurd to say Friday night games are "rewards for form" when Richmond gets six, Collingwood gets five and West Coast gets two #AFLFixture

What a result for @NMFCOfficial - five Friday night games, including a Friday night Hobart clash v the Tigers - first ever in Tassie #nmfc
— Paul Riordan (@PaulRiordan) October 28, 2015
- 14 games at the MCG - 17 games in Melbourne - 5 Friday night games. Perks of having Eddie as your president. #sidebyside #AFLFixture

SIX-DAY BREAKS
Ha, and @NMFCOfficial have three back-to-back six-day breaks - can't complain about no rests in 2016! #AFLFixture
— Tash (@jouljet) October 29, 2015
Three games at the MCG for @WestCoastEagles, but it means they also get 8 six-day breaks (equal most in league) #doubleedgedsword

The flip side of all the great timeslots are the six day breaks. Eight in total, including THREE sets of them back-to-back #NMFC

ADELAIDE'S TOUGH START
@Adelaide_FC couldn't have a tougher first 8 weeks..... We finished 6th not 1st #AFLFixture

Tough draw, amazing time slots. Shows we are the goods to the AFL. Will show where we're at. Bring on 2016 @Adelaide_FC #AFLFixture
— Jacob Pavlou (@jacobpavlou) October 29, 2015
So @Adelaide_FC given pretty much toughest draw possible. Only top 6 side not to play a bottom 6 side twice. Perth twice. #AFLfixture

CATS' PURRFECT DRAW
Good draw for @GeelongCats in 2016. Seriously good. "Send Gil some flowers because we really should finish top 4" good #AFLFixture
— James Taylor (@notthatjt) October 28, 2015
Geelong, North, Dogs massive winners. Brutal draw for GWS. #AFLFixture
— Conor Dillon (@cmdil) October 28, 2015
I take it all back. It's an astounding draw for Geelong. I can hardly believe it. #AFLFixture

GAMES AT THE 'G
Only one game for Freo at the MCG next year. We all saw how that affected West Coast who played there twice in 2015.... #AFLFixture
— Shelley⚓ (@wheresshelly) October 29, 2015
Our Members & fans will like 14 @Richmond_FC games in all (10 home) at the @MCG in 2016 @afl #AFLFixture
— Brendon Gale (@brendongale25) October 29, 2015
