No Sunday games in Sydney so no clash with junior AFL which is good.

No lunchtime/early afternoon games in Sydney which is also good - twilight is better for most Saturday junior sport. 5.10 against Sydney is a bit of a weird time slot though.

2 Friday night games which is good - but both off 6 day breaks and both involve travel - which is not so much.

4 doubles against top 8 teams (and the swans) - tough.

3 games at the G - better than other years.

No Tassie and only 1 each to Adelaide and Perth - again, better than some years.

Pretty reasonable draw I suppose (I’d like to have a closer look at some others before final judgement)

We have some 4:35pms at Giants stadium.

Would they be effected by local sport?

How the hell does the Dogs only get double ups against 1 top 8 team (us)? Other doubles are Carlton, North, Port and Freo.

Richmond get 1 more game at the MCG (14) than they did last year (including 5 in a row mid season) - like they need it.

North get 5 Sunday 1.10 games (and 3 Saturday 1.45pm games) - sucks to be them.

They get the draw of a middle six team so get zero to two top six teams, so the same as Essendon (two top 8 teams), Hawthorn (two), Port (two), Adelaide (two), North (no top six team, two top 8 teams). Dogs just happened to get lucky - at least one of them had to, and arguably North are luckier.

If we're concerned about draws, we should've lost in week 1 and then we could've had the Dogs' draw. I prefer the win personally. ;)

Possibly the last game of U11's only, however time slots pretty good across the season for 2020

Big improvement on 2019 :thumbsu:
