[adonski 12,050]

Seems pretty favourable off first glance 

[buck_nekkid 5,851]

None in the first block, but lots of FTA.  We are also the home team for both of our blockbusters, too.  Not such a bad fixture, so far!

Geelong at Geelong final round

[Demon17 5,188]

Geelong at gmhba last round and eagles in perth 3rd last round.

But no sydney in sydney. Brisbane once. Freo in melb only. So some upside as you say.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,816]

On very quick glance:

Very good that we keep out home game block busters V's Richmond and Collingwood.

7 interstate trips despite giving up Darwin. North again at Hobart (is there a contract in place that we must play them there)

Punishing last 6 or 7 weeks - Port, GC, West Coast and Geelong all on the road from round 17- round 23.

Tough double up against Geelong and potentially GWS and Bulldogs if they're any chop next year.

I’d expect both Coll & GWS to slide to I thought the double up was favourable, but who knows 

[Demon17 5,188]

And Tigers once. 

[KysaiahMessiah 725]

Only 3 top eight sides from this year in first 10 rounds looks ok

[Sir Why You Little 37,016]

Traveling ? should not be a factor after 2020

Jeelong might well be tired by Round 23

[Lord Travis 10,727]

We should be well in the positive for wins at the half way point of the season. After round 6 we should be 4-2, and after round 10 should be 7-3.

Tough run at the end with lots of travel, but not a bad draw and no excuses for not playing finals in 2021.

Edited December 21, 2020 by Lord Travis

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,816]

We'll get them later in the year if we deserve them.

A club that's made finals once in 15 years doesn't deserve Friday nights.

I thought this as well BBP, and I hope we can actually have a decent crowd to help the club coffers. Otherwise I'd hope the club is talking to the AFL + Rich/Coll to see if this draw can be offset to have one home game out of the two blockbusters per year.

[Accepting Mediocrity 1,418]

I hate Friday night games; watching us get obliterated ruins the whole weekend. Sunday twilight games are the go. At least we get to enjoy a couple of days of foolishly naïve, care-free optimism before we get belted.

No reason not to be 8-2 at round 10.

Indeed if we are improving we should be 9-1

[nosoupforme 3,085]

The Fixture favours us However the West Coast away in rounds 21 and Geelong at the Cattery in round 23 would be our hardest apponents for the home and away games.

All in all looks good for us IMV.   There should be no excuses for some early wins.  

I cannot remember the last time that we avoided a trip to Perth against the Eagles. 

[Lucifers Hero 39,728]

Double ups:  Hawks, Giants, Crows, Geelong, Bulldogs.

Geelong and Bulldogs are the only 2020 finalists we play twice.

This is a kind fixture.

[Jaded No More 68,880]

I was so excited that we wouldn’t have to go to Geelong finally... and then I read round 23. Every. Damn. Year. 
 

Happy to keep both our home game blockbusters that we missed out on last year. Overall not bad and I’m glad to have an easier run in the first half of the season. Good for confidence and memberships. 

[Lucifers Hero 39,728]

Happy to be playing the Lions in Alice.  Should have the majority of fans for us rather than the usual WA or SA clubs. 

Significant 'Home' ground advantage for us.

No bye after this game but we play Coll on QB so it would give us at least an 8 day break for recovery.

Edited December 21, 2020 by Lucifer's Hero

[Demons1858 1,760]

Good to see we get our 2 blockbusters as home games in 2021 given covid ruined the 2020 plans $$$

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

How can they know the matchups from Round 7 onwards but not times and dates?

Anyway I love the first 6 weeks for us.  GWS at the Gabba though?

Yep spot on the money. I got to round 4 and saw us at home to geelong and felt relieved. Got to round 23 and then had to run to  the dunny. I see that geelong has their last two games at geelong. This is typical. As usual they play us, north,saints and bulldogs down there like every other year with the surprise guest being essendon.

I see us at 13 wins at best with hard last part of the season.
