"The AFL always has a difficult job striking the right balance but our supporters have a lot to look forward to with regard to blockbuster home games at Patersons Stadium. History shows when we have home games against sides such as Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond, Essendon and the Sydney Swans everyone wants to be a part of the action. We anticipate those games at Patersons Stadium and our home derby against West Coast in round 20 plus our season opener against Port Adelaide and North Melbourne in round eight to more than likely be sold out well in advance of game day." -
GEELONG
"We are very happy with the fixture. With eight games at Simonds Stadium and a good spread of day and night games, it’s definitely a win for our supporters. In an ideal world we would host all 11 home games at Simonds Stadium, but we understand the need to take some games that will draw huge crowds to a venue such as the MCG. Playing home games at Simonds Stadium is important and we all should recognise that that the AFL has indeed listened to the footy supporter. We have more day games than last season, but would have liked at least a couple of more night matches to take advantage of the lights that were installed in 2013." - CEO Brian Cook
GOLD COAST
“It delivers significant wins to our members and fans, with Metricon Stadium set to host all of our home games next year on a Saturday. We regularly survey our members, and their feedback has been incredibly strong that they prefer to attend Saturday matches, particularly in the twilight timeslot. Six of our 11 home games will be twilight matches, as well as three Saturday night matches at the earlier time of 7:20pm, which was our other preferred timeslot.” - CEO Andrew Travis
GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
:We are very pleased with the balance of games across Western Sydney and the ACT. We also have big clubs coming to play at Spotless Stadium in Sydney … it’s a world class venue offering great family entertainment and we expect a significant increase in crowds in 2015. From a football perspective, playing the Swans, St Kilda, Melbourne, Carlton and Gold Coast twice and having four six-day breaks across the season is a good outcome for a young side entering its fourth year in the competition.”"- CEO David Matthews
HAWTHORN
"We are pleased, both from a football and commercial perspective and we are pleased with the more traditional time slots. We have five blockbuster clashes that are certain to attract big crowds (however it) presents another challenging year for the club drawing a tough start to the season and solid mix throughout the home and away draw. We requested to play all seven home games at the MCG but have drawn Port Adelaide in Round 21 at Etihad … our preference is to play all of our home games at the MCG." - CEO Stuart Fox
MELBOURNE
“The fixture is reflective of where we are at as a club.” - CEO Peter Jackson
NORTH MELBOURNE
"This year we drew bigger crowds and TV audiences, and as a result we’ve received a better fixture. To be drawn against quality opposition in prime-time games shows there’s plenty of interest around the team, and the success on the field this year will only further enhance that. We’re really pleased that despite playing an extra game in Hobart, our Victorian supporters will be able to see the team in action 14 times, the same as 2014." - CEO Carl Dilena
PORT ADELAIDE
"As a club we are excited to open our season at Adelaide Oval in round two against the Sydney Swans. And then to host Hawthorn on Anzac Day night in round four is incredibly significant. After this opening to the season we have many other home games to look forward to including Geelong on a Friday night in Round 11 and our club’s first taste at hosting a Thursday night game in Round 15. Without doubt the fixture presents our supporters with a terrific opportunity to enjoy some more great Port Adelaide game-day experiences." - CEO Keith Thomas
RICHMOND
"All things considered, I think it's a very strong fixture for all fans and members of all footy clubs. The AFL has been very clear and consistent about removing obstacles that have been preventing fans from getting to the footy. Given this must be one of the most complex fixtures in global elite sport to put together, I think they’ve done a very, very good job, and they should be commended. For us, being able to play 14 games at the MCG is terrific. It's our home ground, and our members and fans feel very strongly about it. We play one home game at Etihad Stadium, which is probably disappointing, but we have to play a minimum number of games across the competition at Etihad every year." - CEO Brendon Gale
ST KILDA
"Seven home games against traditional Victorian clubs is a major positive. We have the only international game in the fixture and I believe it has the potential to be one of the showcase games of the year. St Kilda will also place a strong focus on bringing to life the Sunday afternoon football experience at Etihad Stadium. The AFL has to factor in many competing demands and, on balance, we believe this is a solid draw for the club." - CEO Matt Finnis.
SYDNEY SWANS
"This is a great fixture for fans, with so many big matches played at the SCG and ANZ Stadium. It is great to have a number of Friday night matches fixtured at the SCG. We expect the Thursday night clash with Port Adelaide in round 14 to be another blockbuster fixture. We continue to push for at least six matches in Victoria and while we understand the challenges with the expansion of the competition, we are disappointed this is not the case for 2015. These big games certainly bring some challenges from a football perspective, but overall we believe this to be an incredibly exciting season ahead." - CEO Andrew Ireland
WEST COAST
“We’ve got four of the last five at home, so that will help us, travel is always a massive thing for the WA clubs. That’s offset a little by the fact we have seven six-day breaks this year which are always tough to come back from so we need to carefully plan for those. It’s also disappointing for our Melbourne-based fans to only have four games there.” - Football manager Craig Vozzo
WESTERN BULLDOGS
"We believe it is a positive fixture for our club. We wanted to ensure our games were more accessible for our fans after having excessive Sunday twilight games last year — we were able to secure 13 Saturday games. We were disappointed to not be allocated a Friday night game but it does provide some improved revenue and exposure opportunities for our club and we are pleased that a number of our priorities have been met." - CEO Simon Garlick
