That's the spirit.

So be it.

Holy **** we got a game in the god timeslot, Saturday Twilight, in Melbourne? When was the last time we got one of those, 2012?

 

[Keystone agony]

From easiest draw to toughest draw

Finish 13th 2022, win the flag 2023 with a soft draw like Melbourne 2021 and blues 2022 (Who won't win the flag)

 

[The Donners]

Tough draw but if we win 1 out of our first 3 games and are competitive in the other 2 I’ll be rapt!

 

[brutus76]

Tough draw

West Coast got KOD IMO

We can do it though

This year v st Kilda? The tippa goal against north

 

[Bjchan13]

13 wins

 

[Runk]

I don't see us losing a game.

GET ONBOARD!

 

[Lore]

Clubs are doing fixture reveals on social media. I think this is the best one though...

 

[Chief Hopper]

Geeze it's a tough draw.
And yet, it's probably more games that will teach us about finals experience and getting better at it, then a soft draw ever will.

I can see a sneaky win against Geelong.

 

[Beerfish]

Yep. No point scraping into finals on the back of an easy draw just to get bundled out straight away. When we get bundled out straight away I want to feel like we at least earned it.

I agree.

I feel like we'll have a season like 2018 where we were a decent team playing a good brand of football, but with a very difficult fixture. We finished 12-10 and didn't make finals.
That year, we played 3 of the top 4 teams twice, Port who were sitting 4th after 16 rounds before collapsing and Fremantle who were not a bottom 4 side.

Next year is looking similar and I'm honestly excited for that. At least we know that if we make finals, then we're a good chance of winning one.

Which game does Harry Jones ton up? Could be as early as Norf round 20

I don't want to pressure the bloke but I hope the rest him against the Giants so he gets it in front of a home crowd.

 

[jmoo wan]

I love you all - but seriously you are a bunch of sooks!

Its a great draw!

 

[Call Me Cake]

If we make finals with this draw, then we'll deserve to win one.

 

[pazza]

Have us 7-2 after Round 9.

Not sure we can beat Melbourne and as for Sydney in Sydney....again....

 

[Beerfish]

I like this modelling.

Seeing what's happening overseas, in the NBL and A league, the scares in the Ashes and some of the AFLW positives, this season is shaping as potentially the most disrupted out of the Covid era. The AFL must be shitting themselves a little

I reckon by the time the season starts we'll actually be living with covid. Not the half on half off we are now.

Europe thought they were living with it, now nations are back flipping and locking down again.

I have no idea how it all pans out but Gil would surely be nervous

It’s also spoiling competitiveness of a lot of games. Even if you’re living with it, players that test positive can’t play as we’re seeing in US and Europe. There’s been games with teams missing a fair few players and getting smashed. Will be a bigger issue here with percentage impacted. Lot of fans are going to be pissed off with players missing

We've proven multiple times throughout this mess we aren't Europe.

I wouldn't be looking overseas for any guidance on lockdowns.

Reading that the collective health departments are considering releasing people on day 5 if they have Covid and no symptoms, and not needing to lockdown if you are boosted and exposed to Covid. These would both shorten the disruption.
