No I just get jealous when round 1 comes around and I see all my mates interstate watching their team live knowing I have to wait another week to see them.

Not much other than a small psychological advantage when mapping out the season. It is definitely best to get it sometimes when young, inconsistent and looking for a fast start.
Closing the season at home however is definitely an advantage in the run homr for finals in terms of qualification and positioning and is another area we are genuinely getting screwed on (for no real reason considering neither WA team seems to be at home).
One way or another: Getting neither of these over a period of multiple consecutive years is genuinely quite disadvantageous and is something that needs urgent rectification.
It's not like for like though. The reason they're closer than they otherwise might be is because that absolutely jammied Lewis at pick 70odd and Newcombe in the MSD (great recruiting really). Their 28-32 also contribute more than ours. Specifically, their best defender and best non-key forward are in that range.
They got 45 goals out of Bruest this year. We (rightly) think Sonny is going to be hard to replace with 31.
People just lowered their expectations for the Hawks this year because everyone just assumed losing Mitchell and JoM was going to be a big deal. If you watched them last year, you would have seen that neither was going that well (which is why I campaigned against getting JoM). They've treaded water essentially - 7 @ 81 this year vs 8 @ 89 last year.
So when you factor in the flat form line year to year, suddenly they are not some unstoppable juggernaut destined to be top within 3 years.
That said, if they do go past us, I think it has much more to do with how good S.Mitchell is rather than JL not being up to it.

If we play like we have in the last month we should win.
But not liking our chances given our track record in these types of games.
Also winning means we have a chance of avoiding bottom 4.

If we play away first and last we travel a little less frequently during the season.
They showed a little snippet in the pre-game how we've been the best defensive team over the last month.

Because all the Victorian teams have to compromise their fixture to play their marquee games
I think we would rightly get upset if we played Home, Home (Anzac day), Away, Away. Collingwood can play Home at the G then Away at the G and then Away at the G and then home at the G
Not a fan of white shorts.....
Maybe it's to see if it's clashes and see if could we have worn the purple on 2013 GF day.
I recall AFL told us to wear white that day.
McChicken....Mmmmm....drooling.... 
Could be an away derby or gather round situation (idk if gather round date is fixed).

We weren’t allowed to wear the purple shorts as they said it would clash with the brown. So it was either purple up top, white gown the bottom, or all white. Oh yeah, and the hooped socks. I would say this combo looks like poo, but hawthorn have that covered.
