How do we reckon we go the first 5 rounds?

I'm going:
Collingwood WIN
Fremantle LOSS
Richmond, it's honestly 50/50, but I reckon we just lose that, LOSS
Hawthorn WIN
Sun's, WIN.

Change Richmond to a loss they’ll bounce back from last season. Change Freo to a win they’re still a rabble

 

[#gosaintas]

Could easily win the 1st 5

Could easily win the 1st 5

Imagine going 5-0 with crowds there. We’ll sell out every match

 

[BrutThough]

Double ups next year against Sydney, Brisbane, Geelong, Hawthorn and Freo by the looks of it.

Decent double ups over all.

Played well against them all this year. We should be breaking even on them all plus beating Hawthorn and Freo twice. But thats easier said then done.

I had tigers as a loss. I don't trust this team interstate yet. On paper we are a better team then freo, but yeah, don't trust us yet.

Yeah but I can’t get drunk and abusive (on Bigfooty of course) during a Sunday game lol

5 FTA games from the first 9 is great for us.

Based on last season's ladder -

Melb	Away
PA	Home	Cairns
Geel	Home / Away
Bris	Away / Home
WB	Away
Syd	Away / Home
GWS	Away	Canberra
Ess	Home
WCE	Away
Frem	Away / Home
Rich	Home
Carl	Away
Haw	Away / Home
Adel	Away
GC	Home
Coll	Home
NM	Home

Doubles against 3 of the top 6 (2 top 4) and none of the bottom 4 is rough.

Two trips to Perth.

Geelong in Geelong.

It's another tough fixture given where we are at. That said,we have been given some prime time FTA spots to open the season so destiny is in our own hands.

Collingwood, Richmond, Hawthorn, GWS & Port all on FTA in the first 9 rounds. We could win all of those which would be massive for sponsors and membership number.

Sydney finished in 7th, so it's 2 from the top 6, 2 from the middle 6 (one who we finished above) and 1 from the bottom 6.

 

[StCicatriz]

doubles up to Freo, Hawthorn, Sydney, Geelong, Brisbane

if we cant play finals off the back of this good draw, then god have mercy on our souls

 

[Dard Ball Get]

A warm Sunday night at Optus Round 2 has me feeling all kinds of ways. Max to bag 8 minimum.

 

[StCicatriz]

Round 1 Collingwood MCG: win
Round 2 Fremantle Optus +2 days diff: win
Round 3 Richmond Marvel 0 days diff, we travel they dont: loss
Round 4 Hawthorn MCG 0 days diff: win
Round 5 GC Metricon 0 days diff, we travel they dont: win
Round 6 GWS Manuka 0 days diff, we both travel: 50/50
Round 7 Port Adelaide Cairns, +1 day diff, we both travel: loss
Round 8 Melbourne MCG, 0 days diff, we travel back, melbourne dont: loss
Round 9 Geelong Marvel, -1 day diff, they travel back, we don't: 50/50
Round 10 Adelaide AO, we travel, they don't: win
Round 11 North Marvel, we travel back, they don't: win

Round 12 bye

Round 13 Brisbane GABBA, +1 bye week, brisbane travel back from Perth LOLz, we travel up: 50/50
Round 14 Essendon Marvel, 0 weeks diff, we travel back: 50/50
Round 15 Sydney SCG, 0 weeks diff, they back from Adelaide LOLz, we travel up: 50/50
Round 16 Carlton Marvel, we travel back, they don't: 50/50
Round 17 Freo Marvel, they travel: win
Round 18 Dogs Marvel, they travel: loss
Round 19 WCE Optus, both travel: 50/50
Round 20 Hawthorn Marvel, both travel back albeit they come from tassie: win
Round 21 Geelong @the s**t hole: loss
Round 22 Brisbane Marvel, they travel: 50/50
Round 23 Sydney Marvel, they travel: 50/50

that gives me:
Win: 8
Loss: 5
50/50: 9

so we probably need to win 3 50/50 games to play finals. which is very doable. i'd say WCE at optus and the two sydney games.

Sydney finished in 7th, so it's 2 from the top 6, 2 from the middle 6 (one who we finished above) and 1 from the bottom 6.

7th after finals.

6th after home and away.

They finished 4 games and 20% in front of GWS and were clearly the better team through the year.

Pies-Win
Fremantle- Loss
Richmond-Win
Hawks -Win
Suns-Loss

The Suns and Freo games never seem to go to script. Realistically we could win all of them and go in with real momentum. There are no excuses this year. That's a sweet start.

 

[lewdogs]

At first glance it looks tough. The only interstate team we play exclusively at home is Gold Coast. The Hawthorn double up could be good if they are really bad. Our other double ups all look tricky.

Round 2 against Freo in Perth looms as a big game.

 

[Remboy]

Had a quick look at the fixture and I can’t see us losing a game. Is it too early to put my chair in the queue for GF tickets?

 

[Hubnester]

doubles up to Freo, Hawthorn, Sydney, Geelong, Brisbane

Doesn't seem so cruisey to me! But then as we see every year it's never as simple as it looks when it's announced. Certainly need a more consistent performance next season that's for sure

 

[puppy_dog7]

At first glance fixture looks pretty good for us (match-ups wise), but I guess anything would after last year.




Double ups:

Brisbane
Sydney
Geelong
Freo
Hawthorn

Good Double ups I reckon.

Hope to see this result.
Brisbane 1-1
Sydney 2-0
Geelong 1-1
Freo 2-0
Hawks 2-0

Could swap Sydney and Geelong results if cats drop off next year, but we historically struggle against them.

shouldn’t lose to Freo. They’re still a way off it, especially without Cerra, an underdone Fyfe and ageing Mundy.

shouldn’t lose to hawthorn either. We’ve had a good record against them recently.

Brisbane could go 0-2 but I think we should be able to beat take 1 win.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

6th hardest draw, as usual “harder” than many teams that finished above us/around us.
Had to lol at Blues’ 16th difficulty rating.
Are we surprised? Definitely not.
The chance is there to set the tone in the first 5-10 rounds imo, can’t wait!

We really shouldn’t be losing that Freo game, if we want to be top 8

* Carlton seriously what an embarrassment of a club they are
