Lets HOPE for another tuff draw.

[nut]

No reason for wishing for an easy draw at this point of our developement.I would much rather a tuff draw next season so the players get battle hardened and have more oppurtunities against quality sides, home or away. An easy draw could see us over evaluate our ability based on winning a couple extra games and maybe snicking into the eight.

And if our form and abilities improve over summer and we actually do make the eight then we know we are there to play and not make up the numbers.

So bring on a tuff draw I say.

Yep, give C'wood their easy draw. We'll take the tough draw and give our players the best possible oppurtunity to improve.

When does the draw get released to the public??
cheers

No such thing as an easy draw anyway. I'm sure melbourne would have been licking their lips at the prospect of playing Carlton twice last year and look what happened.

Did you not see Collingwoods draw this year?

Collingwood's draw every year.
What I'm saying is that you can't pencil in wins. Jesus, some knob on this forum posted a thread saying we'd beat Hawthorn by 200 points this year and look what happened.

Agreed
The draw is best looked at retrospectively to see whether it was easy or bad except for things like the amount of interstate trips- which could be four, five or six and a heap of six day breaks. You can't go chalking up wins until the season starts and sorts itself out. Our draw last year was tough because of the start- all those away games because of the G being used for the Comm games, two Perth trips and the extra interstate trip to Tassie. A good draw might have us in Perth once, but then you get Adelaide twice. It's really a case of swings and roundabouts at this time of the year.

If its true that we travel to Perth Twice again in 2007, that is tough enough, still some teams in this comp that dont even do that !!!

Atleast with a hard draw the players will know where they are really at.

Looks like you got your wish.

Back to back Adelaide matches AND the two grand finalists twice.

 

[lucas_hsv]

Back to back Adelaide trips, and we also have 2 perth trips.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

YES! How exciting.

 

[Truetiger]

They might as well of made it back to back perth games as well

Bug in the program. That will be fixed for next year so we dont miss out on consecutive trips out west.

 

[sante]

Well we got our hard draw

I actually don't mind the interstate travel. We have done ok under TW interstate and if we are to take the next step and become a top notch side we need to able to travel.

The back to back AAMI stadium games might work to our advantage. We have a developing side and i'm sure that if we don't get the desired result in the first trip, then it gives us a chance to redeem ourselves the very next week. Precisely what you want when developing a young team.
