It's always better to have a hard draw if you want to be a contender

How did we not get North Twice ? Was looking forward to putting some North supporters in there place .
Looks like I'm going to Tassie .
Come to think if it North having our first Clarko probably demanded we get a tough draw lol.

We probably requested not to play this dead beat team in Adelaide or ever again. Wish they fold already.
Daddy Donuts would have spat out his toastie tonight for sure.
I hope the captain can muster up some fire in the belly this year because with such a tough start, the pressure will be off the charts. The pafc hierarchy should be a bit concerned because if we know one thing about this group, is that they do not respond well to pressure.

The sack Hinkley draw our club desperately needed. Let's see how this plays out. 1-4 a distinct possibility.

The AFL obviously doesn't see our 2022 season as a true indication of where we are at as a team and so didn't give us a cushy draw. Oh well.
You've also got to understand that the AFL specifically rigs these fixtures so that the teams it believes should be playing finals will play each other in the last few rounds to establish interest in matches all the way until the end of the season. If you look at the last eight games, you'll get a fair idea of who they think should be playing finals (or still be in contention for them).
Geelong - Sydney twice, Collingwood twice, Fremantle twice, Western Bulldogs twice, Port Adelaide twice, Essendon twice (6 double ups) - typically, the AFL gives Geelong another reach around. Why they do this? Probably because Geelong in the finals means extra games at the MCG against lower ranked Victorian teams. You'll just have to get used to it. Last eight games: North Melbourne @ Kardinia, Essendon @ Kardinia, Brisbane @ Gabba, Fremantle @ Kardinia, Port Adelaide @ Kardinia, Collingwood @ MCG, St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium, Western Bulldogs @ Kardinia.
Melbourne - Sydney twice, Brisbane twice, Richmond twice, Carlton twice, Hawthorn twice, North Melbourne twice (6 double ups) - should be making finals again with this fixture. Last eight games: St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium, Brisbane @ MCG, Adelaide @ MCG, Richmond @ MCG, North Melbourne @ Blundstone Arena, Carlton @ MCG, Hawthorn @ MCG, Sydney @ MCG.
Sydney - Geelong twice, Melbourne twice, Fremantle twice, Richmond twice, Gold Coast twice, GWS twice (6 double ups) - get on Sydney to miss finals. Last eight games: Richmond @ MCG, Western Bulldogs @ SCG, Fremantle @ Optus Stadium, Essendon @ Marvel Stadium, GWS @ Giants Stadium, Gold Coast @ SCG, Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval, Melbourne @ SCG.
Collingwood - Geelong twice, Brisbane twice, Carlton twice, Port Adelaide twice, Adelaide twice, Essendon twice (6 double ups) - Are Collingwood really that good? If they are, top four beckons. Again, a fixture based on marketing and television rights more than anything else. Last six games: Western Bulldogs @ Marvel Stadium, Fremantle @ MCG, Port Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval, Carlton @ MCG, Hawthorn @ MCG, Geelong @ MCG, Brisbane @ Marvel Stadium, Essendon @ MCG.
Fremantle - Geelong twice, Sydney twice, Brisbane twice, West Coast twice, Western Bulldogs twice, Hawthorn twice (6 double ups) - Are the AFL trying to get Fremantle over as the face with a cushy fixture so they can win their inaugural premiership? Last eight games: Carlton @ Optus Stadium, Collingwood @ MCG, Sydney @ Optus Stadium, Geelong @ Kardinia, Brisbane @ Optus Stadium, West Coast @ Optus Stadium, Port Adelaide @ Optus Stadium, Hawthorn @ MCG.
Brisbane - Melbourne twice, Collingwood twice, Fremantle twice, St Kilda twice, Gold Coast twice, Adelaide twice (6 double ups) - expectations are through the roof at Brisbane. Can they handle the pressure? Last eight games: West Coast @ Gabba, Melbourne @ MCG, Geelong @ Gabba, Gold Coast @ Metricon, Fremantle @ Optus Stadium, Adelaide @ Gabba, Collingwood @ Marvel Stadium, St Kilda @ Gabba.
Richmond - Melbourne twice, Sydney twice, Western Bulldogs twice, St Kilda twice, Port Adelaide twice, West Coast twice (6 double ups) - getting close to Last Dance territory for the Tigers. Last eight games: Sydney @ SCG, West Coast @ Optus Stadium, Hawthorn @ MCG, Melbourne @ MCG, Western Bulldogs @ Marvel Stadium, St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium, North Melbourne @ MCG, Port Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval.
Western Bulldogs - Geelong twice, Fremantle twice, Richmond twice, Port Adelaide twice, GWS twice, Hawthorn twice (6 double ups) - I don't expect the Bulldogs to make the finals next year - only four matches in the last eight games against top 12 opponents from last year. Last eight games: Collingwood @ Marvel Stadium, Sydney @ SCG, Essendon @ Marvel Stadium, GWS @ Mars Stadium, Richmond @ Marvel Stadium, Hawthorn @ University of Tasmania Stadium, West Coast @ Marvel Stadium, Geelong @ Kardinia.
Carlton - Melbourne twice, Collingwood twice, Gold Coast twice, St Kilda twice, GWS twice, West Coast twice (6 double ups) - if these campaigners can't make finals with this piss easy fixture, they might was well fold. Last eight games: Fremantle @ Optus Stadium, Port Adelaide @ Marvel Stadium, West Coast @ Marvel Stadium, Collingwood @ MCG, St Kilda @ Marvel Stadium, Melbourne @ MCG, Gold Coast @ Metricon Stadium, GWS @ Marvel Stadium.
St Kilda - Brisbane twice, Richmond twice, Carlton twice, Gold Coast twice, Hawthorn twice, North Melbourne twice (6 double ups) - this is the sort of fixture that I expected us to get. St Kilda aren't very good though. Last eight games: Melbourne @ Marvel Stadium, Gold Coast @ Metricon Stadium, North Melbourne @ Marvel Stadium, Hawthorn @ Marvel Stadium, Carlton @ Marvel Stadium, Richmond @ Marvel Stadium, Geelong @ Marvel Stadium, Brisbane @ Gabba.
Port Adelaide - Geelong twice, Collingwood twice, Richmond twice, Western Bulldogs twice, Adelaide twice, Essendon twice (6 double ups) - if you look at other clubs fixtures, it's not that bad. It's only bad if you think we're ****ing shit. Last eight games: Gold Coast @ Adelaide Oval, Carlton @ Marvel Stadium, Collingwood @ Adelaide Oval, Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval, Geelong @ Kardinia, GWS @ Adelaide Oval, Fremantle @ Optus Stadium, Richmond @ Adelaide Oval.
Gold Coast - Sydney twice, Brisbane twice, Carlton twice, Adelaide twice, St Kilda twice, North Melbourne twice (6 double ups) - like Carlton, they would be expecting to make finals with this fixture. Last eight games: Port Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval, St Kilda @ Metricon, GWS @ Manuka Oval, Brisbane @ Metricon, Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval, Sydney @ SCG, Carlton @ Metricon, North Melbourne @ Blundstone Arena.
If you get rid of the Bulldogs who only have 4 matches against top twelves sides from last year in the last eight rounds of the season, everyone else in the top 12 has 5/6 games out of the last 8 that are what would be considered eight point games.

I'd feel more confident with this draw if Josh Carr was the head coach, instead of Hinkley.

That did occur to me.....
When was the last time all of Ports double ups were Victorian sides (and Adelaide obviously)?
So 9 clubs play an extra game? Can you explain this logic here?
Geelong for example also play Fremantle twice.
well, if you’re a conspiracy theorist….. then….
AFL has completely nailed this fix
- the AFL wants Carlton to play finals. Maybe Carlton can come through for the VFL after they have backed Essendon in the last few years.
- the AFL doesn’t want to hand out 2023 priority picks, so if all the clubs Norths hold picks for don’t go well, problem solved. (Still prefer to have JHF)
- the AFL still hates the match day supporter in favour of the tv networks. Not naming the whole season sucks. If you want to travel for a game, you cant plan it…. So more eye balls on screens and less gate receipts…. Where does that revenue go? (Not to the Adelaide oval stadium authority)
