Will be interesting to see how we go with shorter breaks.
Might play better.

Of course Richmond have a pretty good run. 6 day break between Round 9 and 10, then a 4 day break before Round 11, and a 9 day break before Round 12.
I guess they need extra time to recover though after their only travel during that period - from Queensland to play Port in Adelaide.

WCE, Saints and Port are some of the best teams in it this year. Not an easy stretch by any means.
We will get a bye in rounds 13-16 which will be another 4 games in 3 weeks, but for us 3 games in 3 weeks. Then rounds 17 and 18 will be like the normal setup Thursday (or Friday) to Sunday.
edit: So essentially our last 5 games of the season, we will average 1 game per week which is good prep going into finals....

Wtf?
Yea whoops, I didn't realise I wrote Round 112 instead of Round 12. My bad
It’s a joke. They also play the Suns at the Gabba and the Lions at Metricon!!. What happened to the time old arguement that AFL games MUST be played where the most fans can see it. I mean it’s “in the same state like that hour up the road I’ve been told”
I finally get to go to the football on a weekly basis again.
Going to start putting together my sack scott banner.

4 day break after travel. That's harsh.
This is ultimately what the point of the shortened quarters was, though, and it's why we now need to maximise the list. Kids will have to get chances because there will need to be frequent rotation of players to avoid injuries. You'd assume everyone fit and ready will get a go at some point.

Means ablett will now miss more games if he does come back.

Tough run of games coming up, But this will be a good opportunity to give some of our juniors a chance to debut for us over the next few weeks.
Any talk about more players on the bench?

4 games in 14 days and looks like 17 other clubs are in similar boats. Kids will get their chances all over the comp

Crazy.
The upside is (unless the MC is determined to play the preferred 22 into dangerous exhaustion) kids will definitely play. Goes without saying they should aim to rotate 1 or 2 at a time (rather than going ‘nuclear’ 3 or 4 plus) perhaps with some veteran returning from injury. Scratch matches won’t be needed!
Aside from exhaustion for the squad, I think the big stress point is Ruck. If Stanley is not fully fit, it is a huge ask for Fort, even with help from Sav and Blitz. Imagine they’ll have to rotate Sav and Fort and bring in Kreuger or JJ (if fit).
Even though the senior squad is exceptionally fit, it is going to be huge ask to win more than a game or two in that time.
Of course there is a reasonable chance that an outbreak could occur in one of the squads or even QLD that would scarper the season.

Hah. The mention of JJ just made me go "Jarmaine Jones? Jarrad Jansen? Ohhhh Josh Jenkins!"
We've had a few JJs on the list recently!

They are both Richmond home games, so playing them at a venue that isn't the oppositions home ground makes some sense. And they do get to travel to SA for their match against Port
As for maximising crowds - not sure that's really relevant this year, even in a state like Qld that is permitting fans, are they permitting full crowds or still reduced capacity?
Whatever happened to the poster who was obsessed with jarred jansen

Someone tell this to the AFL
I think it'd be funny to see the Richmond tears playing their home game at an opponent's home ground
Um so why does geelong play home games against richmond at the mcg?
