So, over the last 8 years (since GWS came in), a Victorian team should travel interstate for away games on average 41.4 times.
Only TWO Victorian teams travel more than that.
Essendon who have travelled 44 times (13 to wa and nsw, 9 to sa and qld) and Geelong (42 times, 12 to so, 11 to qld, 10 to wa and 9 to nsw)
Every single other Victorian team has travelled less than they mathematically should be.
Another interesting one is St Killda, theyre only just under the average, but then they have had 8 away games in secondary venues (3 each in Launceston and Hobart, and 2 in Canberra) Why do they get ****ed over so badly?
Also, why does Hawthorn and Melbourne get protected? 35/36 respectively INCLUSIVE of away games in Canberra/Hobart.
Who cares about Collingwood (Mathematically only played 1 less away game than they should have) Hawthorn and Melbourne are the two clubs getting a free ride from the AFL!
Why should they get protection in who they play just because they sell home games?
Essendon 44
Geelong 42 (+2 secondary games)
Richmond 41 (+3 secondary games)
St Kilda 40 (+8 seconday games)
Collingwood 40
Carlton 39 (+4 secondary games)
North Melbourne 39 (+3 secondary games)
Hawthorn 34 (+1 secondary game)
Western Bulldogs 32 (+8 secondary games)
Melbourne 30 (+6 secondary games)

Canberra GWS matches should count as interstate matches. When you include those, 5 more clubs reach 41, which would be within <1 match.

St Kilda ask for an away game in Tassie every season since we have a lot of fans there.
I knew we travelled the most for interstate sides. We basically play all clubs away most of the time except for maybe Brisbane.

I'd say your maths was out. In reality every non-Vic team only has 10 home games to be fulfilled by the fixture each year as one home game is always reserved for their local rival.
Therefore each non-Vic team has 10 games to divide by 16 possible opponents, 10 of whom are Vic teams and 6 non-Vic.
Once you do this for all 8 non-Vic teams this equates to exactly 50 games a year where a Vic team should play an away game to a non-Vic team.
So this is 5 per year per Vic team and a total of 40 for the 8 years since GWS entered.
The actual totals:
Essendon 44
Geelong 44
Richmond 42
St Kilda 42
Carlton 41
Collingwood 40
North Melb 40
W Bulldogs 38
Hawthorn 36
Melbourne 33
So in reality 5 Vic teams have traveled more often than they should, 2 are just right, and 3 have had less. The total for all Vic teams is exactly what it should be: 400.
Yes, Melbourne and Hawthorn should consider themselves lucky. They clearly get less because of their home games outside of Vic, which shouldn't be a factor.

Hawks always were a good merge with the D's
I’d actually love to see a Maddi’s Match at the MCG vs Richmond as a saints fan, obviously doubtful given it isn’t the saints home ground but if one of our G games could be designated as a home game for that match I’d be all for it, get more people through the gate and all!
And with things looking slightly more promising for the saints next season a potentially much better game between the two clubs.

Looking better than it has in years.
Non Vic teams that share a venue (WC, FR, AD, PA) get 11 home games plus another at game at that venue when they play their hometown rival.

My point is that out of the 11 home games for non-Vic clubs, 1 has to be against their local rival, leaving only 10 others to be allocated by the fixture.
Once you allow for this, the figures show Vic teams combined are travelling to non-Vic teams exactly the right amount of times.

Surprised we haven’t already. The AFL have let a whole few days go by without hogging the sport headlines.

Any moment the Herald Sun will drop their obligatory "Collingwood and/or Richmond and/or Essendon is understood will dominate the Thursday and Friday night time slot" story.

I'd usually add 1 or 2 business days to that. Eddie or Kennett will no doubt refuse to sign off on the finalised draft as they'll be furious about being in the 1:45 Saturday time-slot in round 18 as opposed to the 2:10.
Lol.
Don’t forget the Cats. Geelong always have something to say.
