A special Thursday night Safe Space this week - a day later than usual so that we could unpack and dissect the 2025 fixture which dropped earlier in the day.

It was another huge off-season edition with Ash leading the lines joined by Brad, Mick, Nat, Julia and Weissy.

Together we discussed:

* News that the pre-season Live Panel Show is locked and loaded on Wednesday March 5 - add it to your diary now!;

* Our opening week finals loss in the AFLW and a look ahead to our cut-throat game against Port;

* Our Dingley tour, and a sneak peak at our upcoming special podcast with Andy Gowers;

* The fixture for 2025 noting the following:

* Six MCG home games which will see some big crowds turning up;

* Bunched up fixtures in Launceston including a Friday night against the Crows;

* Six away games in Melbourne - four at the MCG meaning we play 10 MCG games;

* Six interstate games outside of our Tassie adventures;

* 13 Melbourne games and 10 interstate.

* Brad’s early call on how many games we will win for the year;

* And much more…
