Freo plays Sydney then GWS in Perth, then moves to Cairns for the last 4 games (North, Melb, Dogs, Richmond - not in that order necessarily)

Explicitly denying the Eagles an easy path to a premiership is good policy.

Also, I agree with those who say Cairns is a good venue — it's a neutral location, nice weather, maybe the team could bond a few weeks up there. I feel like some clubs with young players will come out of this process a lot stronger.
Yeah I'm not complaining.
Some reports are that the Eagles will stay in Perth. Surely this is not true.
Reports from Channel 7 and 6PR?

Closest I've seen is this.
Even if we win all our games we're reliant on other teams dropping games to make finals.

Crazy that teams could win 11/17 and not make finals. In some years that many has made them from 22 games.
I think that's unlikely. I expect a team on 10 or even 9 with a reasonable percentage might make the 8.

Yep, "Simmo" (wow they are so inventive and inspired in their bestowing of nicknames over in slime land) will again be whinging over the fact his self-entitled front runners can't play in front of their self-entitled fans!

Why are we hubbing in Cairns when 2/3 games when we leave Perth are at Metricon? And the final round is not yet known but could also be at Metricon just as likely as it will be in Cairns. 
AFL is stoopid.

Jesus, that Richmond game is a killer - fly to another state AND a 4 day turnaround.
At least its a game we were almost no chance of winning anyway

It's not just some little jaunt either, it's over two hours to fly from Cairns to Gold Coast. It's only three and a bit hours Perth to Melbourne with a decent tailwind.Why are we hubbing in Cairns when 2/3 games when we leave Perth are at Metricon? And the final round is not yet known but could also be at Metricon just as likely as it will be in Cairns.

They haven't just kicked us in the balls, they've put the steel caps on first

Makes no sense at all - surely if we had agreed to hub there it would have been on the basis that at least three of the four games would be in Cairns.
Only positive is that the two Metricon games are the won’t win (Tigers) and should win (Kangas) - regardless of where the game is played.
Hopefully the two marginal games (Doggies and Demons) are in Cairns and we get a little bit of a ‘home advantage’ by being more acclimatised and not having to travel.

really should have given us a thursday/Friday timeslot for the GWS game (as a fox only game of course, can’t be having 2 non Vic sides on FTA), that 4 day break could have been so easily avoided. if we hub in Cairns just to play one ******* game there...
also lol @ Richmond having back to back games at Metricon against WA sides off a 4 day break.

I guess it’s a small price to pay to keep Jabba the Hutt out.
This will be the first time in 25 years that I’ll be barracking hard for the weags in a game of footy. FU Richmond and FU AFL.
The silver lining is we will 2 more days recovery than Melbourne the following week. (This advantage might be nullified due to the fact that the AFL has shunted us up to Cairns while making us play at the Gold Coast, which hasn't happened to the Eagles but is not surprising)
Eh, I feel like complaining about the fixture in 2020 is pretty petty. I'm just glad we can see this team grow through the season!
