for the first time, also feature in a blockbuster Sunday night fixture against Port Adelaide to end Gather Round and the traditional standalone Easter Monday clash with Geelong.<\/p>\n<p>Carlton and Collingwood also have seven matches in Thursday and Friday slots, while Essendon (eight) are the only club with more.<\/p>\n<p>The Power-Hawks clash in Gather Round is one of a series of marquee Sunday night matches the AFL hopes will help drive record attendances and television audiences in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The new slot is a product of the league&#8217;s new $4.5 billion broadcast deal, which starts next year.<\/p>\n<p>A handful of the Sunday night games will be broadcast free-to-air, while the league is seeking to take advantage of public holidays around many of those fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Bulldogs play St Kilda on Easter Sunday, while Carlton and Essendon meet in their annual night game before the King&#8217;s Birthday holiday.<\/p>\n<p>The first Queensland derby of the season &#8211;

Bowler said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are pleased to offer fans more Thursday nights than ever this season with 23 matches set to be played across the season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sunday nights proved to be very popular last season and we have a number of marquee matches slated for this time slot, including Gather Round, Easter Sunday, Queensland Labour Day Eve, WA Day Eve and King&#8217;s Birthday Eve.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These matches, along with other big match ups fixtured for key dates in the country&#8217;s calendar have become part of the holiday celebrations for fans to mark in their diaries and plan trips with friends and family around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sir Doug Nicholls Round will feature the annual &#8216;Dreamtime at the G&#8217;
