ManDee 7,396 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 I count 16 wins! Am I being too negative?
Sir Why You Little 37,478 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Excellent...We may finally make some money off this draw.. All depends on whether the team can win of course and not decide whether to switch off...

One Friday night game is a bit poor, but three Saturday nights might make up for it. The amount of six day breaks is a worry, will test us. Positive overall though. Listening to the bloke that released the draw, looking at how many 6-day breaks we've got is a very simplistic way of looking at it. He suggested looking at how many games we play where we have had a greater break than our opponent. He used the example of Geelong - 8 x 6-day breaks (equal most in the comp), but they are playing 10 games where they have had a longer break than their opponent. We can't complain too much about the 6-day break thing, especially when we want our QBD Monday game, and we now have our Anzac Eve game.
SaberFang 7,151 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 2 games against Norf, Carlton and Collingwood is great news. St Kilda though...
Bring-Back-Powell 15,576 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 No home games at Etihad, but we play 4 games there, 2 more than last year. It's a good fixture on first glance. No double ups against any of the top 4.
The Chazz 4,077 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Only 4 away games interstate. 4 Games at Etihad to give us more chance of learning how to play there. A home game against a "power" club in Carlton. A bye after an NT game. A Friday night game. Only play Adelaide and North, from the 2016 top 8, twice, all other finalists from this year just once. I think it is a very positive draw.
praha 11,268 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 4 Etihad games in the first 13 rounds. In the same period we play at the MCG 6 times. Glad we play Geelong in Melbourne. Essendon away at Etihad. How about a game against them for once? 2x games vs Carlton at the MCG is great. 4x interstate away games, two of which are in Canberra and Tassie (vs North). Overall, solid fixture.

Bang Bang Bang 5,875 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 First three rounds look challenging. All three are bogey sides and 2/3 on a bogey ground. We must start the season strongly (at absolute worst 1-2) as there's history says no coming back from 0-3.
mrtwister 652 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 8 Friday night games for Swans and 7 for Bulldogs. Wowee!
drdrake 3,203 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 The first 6 weeks will define our season. We should be 5 and 1. Don't mind the draw the only real tuff patch is the Bulldogs, Eagles and Sydney mid year
stevethemanjordan 6,952 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Quality fixture for us, an especially good first half, (before the bye). And then the last three games at the G all against sides that we should beat. All-in-all, a serious opportunity for us to make finals. Positives everywhere in this. Can't wait.
Clintosaurus 7,953 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 In Hobart again. Awesomesauce!!!!!!!

drdrake 3,203 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 I reckon we play Essendon away each year because of the jumper. There clash jumper still clashed with our home jumper

DeeZee 7,496 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 This is a dream draw for us. We only play Swans, Bulldogs, Cats, West coast and Hawthorn once. This could be the year we make finals.

SaberFang 7,151 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Can't complain too much but one Friday night game for us when Sydney and the Bulldogs share 2/3 of every Friday night for the entire season? Taking the [censored] now, aren't they? Even if they made the Grand Final, surely sharing around Friday nights a little more evenly would be the preferred outcome. Have they not learned how boring the surplus of Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood and Hawthorn games became in recent years!?

Demon Spofforth 289 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Good draw for us at a glance. But again no game in Qld for supporters up here. Think that's 4 out of the last 5 years. Oh well, won't mind a bit if we make finals.
Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,335 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 Looks a very reasonable draw. North at the G too, there goes another hoodoo!
