North - Home - WIN

North's backline of circus rejects and cardboard standees fails to contain a rampant Jesse Hogan, who kicks a career high 15 goals. A returning Nathan Fyfe leads from the front with 30 disposals and four goals.

GC - away - WIN

A returning Harley Bennell stars with 27 touches, six clearances and three goals. The WA football community stifles it's collective laughter at Brad Hardie's resulting brain aneurism in the commentary box.

St Kilda - home - WIN

Ross Lyon's masterstroke of playing a Hill brother on each wing leaves the Saints single-paced midfield unable to cope. Dan Hannebery collects roughly $89877897798 for each of his 16 disposals. He smiles knowingly.

Eagles - away - WIN

Inspired by the unintentional comedy of a returning Andrew Gaff flinching and falling over after attempting to square up to Freo Rookie (insert pick 14 here), Rory Lobb wins his first Glendenning-Allan medal and leads Fremantle to a famous two-point victory in one of the greatest Derbies ever. The West and Channel Seven lead with a tear-filled Gaff family, upset by the Freo Cheersquad's decision to chant "lock her up" whenever Andrew went near the ball.

Giants - away - WIN

Joel Hamling blankets Jeremy Cameron, who responds with a wild haymaker after three and a half goalless quarters. It's his most accurate shot on a day where he kicks 0.7 and the Giants go down by three goals.

Dogs - home - WIN

Played as a small forward for the first time since his arrival at Fremantle, an ebullient Brandon Matera kicks his seventh goal to win the Len Hall game after the siren for the Dockers.

Adelaide - away - WIN

With a bad hair day keeping Bryce Gibbs out of the game, Andrew Brayshaw goes on the warparth, registering a record breaking 30 tackles to go with 30 disposals. Adelaide's other midfielders (brown shoes, guy with haircut, exciting but injury prone recruit) at a loss to explain what went wrong.

Richmond - home - WIN

Freo by 18. Hamling and Alex Pearce's shutdown of Tom Lynch and Jack Reiwoldt is so complete, Hardwick flies home without them, mistakenly thinking he'd left them in Melbourne.

Essendon - away - WIN

Fremantle's mosquito fleet has a day out, with Walters, Langdon and Colyer kicking three goals apiece in a 10 goal demolition of the Bombers. The loss, Essendon's first for the year, sees the wheels fall off. Again.

Brisbane - home - WIN

Connor Blakely's 38 touch, 10 tackle, three goal game cements his status as Lachie Neale's taller, younger and better-looking replacement.

Pies - away - LOSS

A clear free kick is missed and Mason Cox goals late in the game to give the Pies the win. Umpire Dean Margetts is found to have failed so badly, he's permanently removed from league duties.

Power - home - WIN

Bouncing back from the Margetts induced heartbreak, Adam Cerra's skillful inside and outside work sees him collect 32 disposals. His delivery gives Jesse Hogan his second 10-goal haul in purple.

Melbourne - away - WIN

Freo's six-goal win sees Sean Darcy complete a rare double, beating Max Gawn both on the ground and in a drinking contest later that night.

Carlton - home - WIN

Think last year's game, but no Carlton goals for the whole four quarters. Mitch McGovern wonders what might have been.

Eagles - home - WIN

Andrew Gaff's decision to square up to a purple-clad auskicker at half time inspires a second half comeback from an unusually quiet Freo midfield. Adam Cerra continues his stunning run home, cementing his Brownlow favouritism.

Hawks - away - LOSS

Seriously, **** Tasmania and everything about having to fly and play there.

Swans - home - WIN

Bradley Hill 30 touches. Rory Lobb five goals. Sydney no answers. Buddy straight to the high rollers room at Crown, where he's later spotted with what appears to be a lot of powdered sugar in his moustache. The fat bastard loves his doughnuts.

Dogs - away - WIN

In a move teased but not executed until the time was right, Brennan Cox is swung out of the backline. He responds with six goals.

Cats - home - WIN

Stephen Hill dials back the clock to his 2013 heroics, streaming down the Optus Stadium wing on an unopposed 50m run to kick the winning goal for Freo.

St Kilda - away - WIN

Freo records it's highest ever win with an 178-point romp over the hapless Saints. The Saints highlights are later used as b-roll in films designed to horrify teenagers into avoiding alcohol. Hanneberry collects another $253747885 match payment for 14 touches and a goal, and is starting to realise he's on a pretty good wicket.

Bombers - home - WIN

In a performance described as transcendent, Cam McCarthy tops off a season of solid contributions up forward with a career best 14 goals.

Port - away - LOSS

We can't win them all.
I think the goal where Nathan Wilson took the kick in, ran the length of the ground and then kicked an 80 metre bomb is also worth a mention.

Luke Ryan’s 26 kick, 100% disposal efficiency game was something too.

I don’t understand why Richmond gets an easier draw

I think it has more to do with the fact that they only leave Victoria 5 times IIRC rather than their actual draw.

I don’t understand why Richmond gets an easier draw

It is not necessarily an easier draw. It is based on analytics. The past is not what the future ladder will be. Many will expect us to rise on the ladder, and we are perhaps the biggest bogey team to draw. We get WCE by default so cancel that out.
When you look at it, who do you want to play twice? Of course we want all the battling teams. And is that just to make the 8? or get more wins?
We need to win most games at home, and we have that opportunity. We also need to win half our away matches, and that is possible. If we rely merely on fixtures then who really gives a fuc$ about the season, because even if we scrape finals it will not take us far.

What works? Winning. Just winning games of footy. Win more than you lose. Forget how hard the draw is and all that bs. Every week be competitive, and every week have a shot at winning the game. Then you are a chance. But I am not one for sugar coating a season based on getting an easy draw. Besides, I think that is ridiculous anyway.

This team, needs to look forward to the big challenges win half of them. There are no easy games. Brisbane proved that last year.

We just need to take each week as a winnable game.

This is possibly one of the greatest lines I’ve ever seen on this forum

The away games in Canberra and Launceston after the derbies can be pencilled in as losses. Why the Afl cant work the fixtures so that WC and us share the after derby away games is beyond me.
