2 interstate games back to back then a 6 day break to return and play the reigning premiers..
Less than ideal I'd say.

If things go the way of us just winning enough to stay in and them pushing for the 8 this will be a massive game finals like 90k will be there and I hope we knock them out of finals by a dodgy free to JSOS right on the final siren.

Ok so we have 6 interstate games this year...more than we used to.
GC
Freo
Giants
WC
Adelaide
Brisbane
After the Giants game we had a 5 day break for the Sydney game.
Adelaide and Brisbane are back to back interstate games, followed by a 6 day break before Melbourne. Melbourne will have a 8 day break and play in Melbourne the week before...
Pretty s**t.

We’ve known this all year, just not the time/day.
Strange though. Think BL’s had 4 of 5 weeks away from home earlier this season.

carlton v collingwood - it's the afl's ace in the pack...........they'll wanna wring every ounce of exposure and every last buck out of it they can........I feel it in my bones it's gonna have a huge amount at stake...........Does anyone know when the round 23 fixture is likely to be released? Would love to fly over for it but hard to do on short notice. Hoping for a Saturday night game

Anyone think there's a correlation between our form and rest versus our opponents.
4 games coming off a 6 day break since the bye while our opponents all have min 7 days.
The game against Lions will be telling of our finals prospects imo.
Bombers - neutral
Tigers - 6v7 (-1)
Freo - 9v14 (-5)
Saints - neutral
Eagles - 9v7 (+2)
Cats - 6v9 (-3)
Giants - neutral
Crows 6v7 (-1)
Lions - 8v7 (+1)
Demons - 6v8 (-2)
Pies ? (+1)

For anyone saying we have had an easy draw, it's always good to look at the teams you play twice, especially with how bad North and West Coast have been and the soft wins that gets. Geelong the big beneficiary of that and in a tight season that propels them to a home final. I think the Tigers will still make the 8 given how hard the Dogs and Saints last 4 games are. Correlates pretty well to the ladder except for the Tigers who have performed poorly with an easy draw.
From easiest to hardest
1. Geelong with easily the easiest draw, North and West coast twice and potentially only one top eight team twice in the Bulldogs/Saints and both of those sides are scraping into 8th in all likelihood. No top 4 opponents. Criminally easy and will be why they finish top - West Coast, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Port Adelaide, Western Bulldogs
2. Sydney with the next easiest fixture, like Geelong if the Dogs/Saints don't make it then will have played none of the top 8 twice - Essendon, GWS Giants, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Western Bulldogs
3. Richmond with an easy fixture, just 1 top 8 team and West Coast twice - Carlton, Essendon, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, West Coast Eagles
4. Brisbane with the next easiest. Play one top four team twice in the Dees and maybe the Saints - Essendon, Gold Coast Suns, GWS Giants, Melbourne, St Kilda
5. Fremantle fifth, play us and Dees twice and get West Coast Twice - Melbourne, Greater Western Sydney, St Kilda, Carlton, West Coast
6. Collingwood sixth, like Freo play us and Dees twice, don't get North or West Coast twice - Essendon, Carlton, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne
7. Carlton seventh. Like the Dees with the Pies and Freo twice but also likely Tigers, no North or West Coast - Richmond, Collingwood, Greater Western Sydney, Fremantle and Adelaide
8. Melbourne eighth play the Pies, Lions and Freo twice - Western Bulldogs, Port Adelaide, Brisbane, Collingwood, Freo
9. Western Bulldogs 9th, tough draw with Cats, Dees and Swans twice and no West Coast or North twice - Geelong Cats, GWS Giants, Hawthorn, Melbourne,
Sydney Swans
10. St Kilda the hardest draw, cop 4 top 8 teams and no one from the bottom 4 - Brisbane, Fremantle, Geelong Cats, Hawthorn, Sydney
The better teams usually come out on top, but given our injuries and draw think people shouldn't undersell the season we are having given where we are coming from. Give us an extra game against North at the expense of a top 8 side like Geelong have had and that could be the difference to top 4 and not. Anyway, its just a bit of perspective more than anything. If you are good enough you win (Saints game... heck!)

They'll probably make it the Sunday 3.20pm game because it may decide a top 4 spot, but they'll want to have the other games that could affect that out of the way first.Does anyone know when the round 23 fixture is likely to be released? Would love to fly over for it but hard to do on short notice. Hoping for a Saturday night game
