Interesting to look at this stat.
Thus far this year 5 teams have played off back-to-back 6 Day breaks.
Collingwood - beat Western Bulldogs & Melbourne then (Round 3) lost to St. Kilda (ran out of legs in last quarter)
Essendon - beat Carlton then (Round 4) lost to West Coast (thrashed, although 5 junk goals in the last quarter)
Hawthorn - lost to Geelong, Bulldogs (Round 4) lost to Collingwood (thrashed)
Western Bulldogs v Adelaide (Both teams were off back-to-back 6 day breaks). Of course - the better team won.
Next teams to face this
Western Bulldogs v St. Kilda (Round 6) (FRI)
Fremantle v Collingwood (Round 8) - Both teams (FRI)
Collingwood v Geelong (Round 9) (FRI)
Essendon v Western Bulldogs (Round 10) (FRI)
Richmond v St. Kilda (Round 11) (FRI)
Given this (and no Riewoldt and the tough slog against Port Adelaide) I can't see us getting up this week - could be our first regular season blowout (Over 3 goals) since Round 12, 2008. (37 Home & Away matches without losing by 3 goals+ means we're probably due).
