Hopefully this comes out soon, this floating fixture is causing havoc for those of us that plan our lives around when our footy team is playing. (Or pretending to play, in my team's case )
I've had a crack at what it might look like, let me know what I've got wrong.
Geelong v Richmond on Thursday seems a no-brainer despite Richmond's current form slump, as it doesn't involve either side having a five-day break.
Friday night is a lot tougher, there's no good candidate. Sydney v Fremantle would be ideal with both sides in good form, except I can't see them scheduling a game at a neutral venue which will probably be two-thirds empty for Friday night, and the Swans won't be back at the SCG any time soon. Essendon v GWS is the other best matchup but that would mean a five-day break for the Bombers. So they'll have to put Hawks v Lions on and hope it's a better match than the Hawks' form suggests.
