So there's no point in renewing my m/ship for next year as we won't improve and our list has remained stagnant.
2015 over before it even begins.
Is that what you are saying.
Damn and I had my hopes up for 2015!

If we get them twice each I don't expect 100% win record against these 5 teams again reason they will be decent lists. I will renew regardless. The draw should be favourable but no easy games in my opinion and will have to work hard to make finals which I think we're still a chance

They'll come, they always do. First one then another, then a minor niggle becomes a late start to the season. Before you know it we have half the list in rehab. I'll card myself..........

Seem to be better placed this year with post season ops and injuries which is a good start, last year we limped into pre season training,

As an authority on this subject I can tell you this. In layman's terms (trust me it is much more complicated than this but to not confuse the layman) it is very much like the El Nino effect on our weather. We are heading into a period of high pressure systems and with that brings a lack of soft tissue injuries. This combined with the El Nofookingidea effect means we will have a fantastic run with injuries up until around February 2016 when the next system arrives the dreaded El ACLwreckedourfinalshopes. This system is unavoidable and has ruined many a clubs chances due to serious knee injuries to star players.
Feel free to ask any questions if you require further clarification.
Your sincerely,,TL15.

Insense lighting, praying, offerings to all gods, four leaved clovers, lucky charms, no ladders...
Having said that some injuries are inevitable, will happen but we're better placed at the mo,

I go to at least one interstate game as well.
I wonder if the trip to NZ will count as one of our interstate trips or do we only get 16 games in Melbourne?
I would love to play Hawks in Tassie.

Yes! A game in Tasmania would be sick. I go with a couple of friends and/or family and we choose a game depending on state. We're pretty keen on Adelaide game but past couple of years the games there have been in bad time slots.
It doesnt work that way. The bottom 6 teams are supposed to get an easier draw based on this formula;
Bottom 6 play either none or at most one top 6 team twice.
Play middle 6 teams at most twice or at least once.
Play bottom 6 teams at most 3 times and at least twice.
Based on this we wont be playing Lions, GWS, Demons, Saints and Dogs twice, at most we will play 3 of them twice.
We can still play a top 6 team twice and based on this formula we shouldnt be playing all of Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon twice as these are middle 6 teams and at most we can only play 2 of them twice.
But the AFL will do what it wants and dont hold your breath hoping for an easy draw.
