News Time for the Vic teams to leave Victoria - EDIT: Hawks to Hub in Barossa, 15 teams in QLD

Way to miss the point.
It’s the number of genuine away games we are playing.

When games can't be played in either Vic or TAS, I'm not sure what you expect?

 

[Pessimistic]

Tassie has closed boarders?

Lives in WA, posts on subject daily, can’t spell borders

I guess that changes everything. Turns out you can in fact have a game at your home venue.

To be allocated as the home team perhaps? It’s really not that difficult for the AFL. Seven of the Hawks last eight games have been “away”.

Since Round 16 last year, Hawthorn have only played three home games in Victoria. That’s the least amount of home games in the competition.

There’s a reason why Hawthorn supporters on here get annoyed with the fixture.

Maybe play some neutral games and send clubs like Richmond, Bulldogs and Essendon who have barely travelled to play in Adelaide against the Adelaide teams

Metricon turf looking worse for wear

Yeah, getting progressively worse. I know they have moved some games but they need move a few more. Same with the Gabba.

 

[Pessimistic]

Bear in mind the mcg and marvel usually have something like 40 games each season

Also, I think this would be the first time in VFL/AFL History that the same team has played in two consecutive matches

The Suns end Round 12 and open Round 13

This used to happen a bit, e.g. Sydney Rounds 7-8, 1987 played the only Sunday game then backed up on Friday night
