After a hard game against Tigers week before vs their rest against Saints, WC will be warm favourites.R3 is when Gaff returns - we need to step up and send a message in the GF replay
The “easiest draw” thing for 2018 was bullshit and I have no doubt the same will be true of the “hardest draw” thing for 2019. In my humble, this is not Champion Data’s best work.
Draw looks tough on first inspection, however, at the start of the year some were predicting us to have 2 or less wins from our first 6. In an even comp, we don't know how teams will perform next year so it's all speculation at this stage. Hopefully, after the year the boys had, and the natural improvement in much of our best 22, we stay in contention.
In saying that, I think it's really important we start well against Geelong, because rounds 2 and 3 won't be easy. Then the draw starts to open up a bit.
Who cares?After a hard game against Tigers week before vs their rest against Saints, WC will be warm favourites.
If the AFL was fair dinkum they would introduce a conference system to ensure the draw is identical for every team.
They won’t do that because money rules.
AFL must be the only major team sport in the world that uses the fixture to even up the competition.They’re trialing it in the AFLW: 2 conferences, 2 separate ladders. It’s not exactly what you’re talking about (there are games across the conferences) but it’s a good sign that the AFL are at least thinking about such a thing ATM. Worth noting that nothing will / can change during the current broadcast agreement - expires 2022.
2010 looked like a tough draw before the season started.Could not give a flying **** what our draw looks like. Lots of prime time games so brilliant for those that like to go to the games.
Bring all these other campaigners on!
Go pies.
You're right I think we're looking at this through the lens of this season and how battered we became after each big game against Richmond.A decent run with injury and the draw will mean nothing.
I hate conference systems because you may have a team in one conference that would only be ranked fourth for example in the other conference.If the AFL was fair dinkum they would introduce a conference system to ensure the draw is identical for every team.

2010 WAS a tough draw. We played 10 of 26 games against top three teams?2010 looked like a tough draw before the season started.
On point!
Problem is we have too many teams. At least a conference system would ensure a fair draw. The current system is crap.I hate conference systems because you may have a team in one conference that would only be ranked fourth for example in the other conference.
I want to see the best of the best.

No it wouldn't, unless by some miracle each conference was exactly the same & then counting it's a fair draw within each conference, which it wouldn't.Problem is we have too many teams. At least a conference system would ensure a fair draw. The current system is crap.
F**K RICHMOND.
As long as our players remain hungry and we get a bog standard run with injuries we will be very hard to beat for the flag.
Oh and F**K RICHMOND.
That is all.
Two conferences.Divisions with promotion / relegation are another option?
