They just released our first 6 rounds

Riound 1 vs West Coast (Perth)
Riund 2 vs   Brisbane    (GABBA)
Round 3 vs  Geelong     (Geelong)
Round 4 vs GWS     (Darwin)
Round 5 vs Port Adelaide (Wuhan Stadium)
Round 6 vs Fremantle  (Perth)
 

Nice of the AFL to schedule us a game in Victoria in the first 6 weeks.

Not sure what all the angst is about. Good sides win no matter where or when. Poor sides look for excuses. We will win both.

we have a pretty good win rate in the meaningless games.

It's the ones for points that we find harder

Yes the other sides get serious.

Still think a community series game in Airlie Beach would be a good idea.

I do get tired of the perfect weather and fantastic nightlife though.

Nice!  Good test first up.  Freo should be very competitive next season and we traditionally do terrible in Round 1.

We have to start winning on the MCG, our record there under Goodwin is shocking.

interesting that we play freo in the pre-season and then again in round 1

[BDA 22,737]

Our draw has been kind and gives us the opportunity to create some momentum, get wins on the board early.  

Freo, St Kilda, GWS and Hawks are must wins if we’re to have a crack at the Top 4. Win one of Geelong or Richmond and we’re 5-1 and well on track for the double-chance.

Drop Geelong and Richmond and one other and its 3-3 and its just more of the same, inconsistent, mediocrity.  Anything less than 3 wins after 6 rounds and I’ll be calling for heads to roll.

BB, Yze and Chocco are great additions and I reckon will give the group a real spur. Another pre-season with Burgess as well so I’m genuinely confident and think this group can deliver.

Another Covid outbreak and the WA hard border has returned. 
 

Will we even see the game against Freo given the quarantine period that may or may not be in place?

Will the players be back in hubs before we know it?

After the last couple of days Steve I would say it is less than a 50/50 chance. If the 2021 season goes ahead without serious change I will be astounded.

Where "2 weeks to slow the spread" turns into rolling forever lockdowns.

Never trust a politician to hand back his new found power you gifted to him, because he never will.
