Analysis 2020 Fixture - Thoughts and guesses

[McLuggages]

Given we can get 3-1-1 or 2-2-1 (top, middle, bottom 6) I've had a go at our best and worst draws and guesstimated who's nice to face and who isn't...

Our worst case draw: Richmond, West Coast, Collingwood, Dogs or Essendon, Melbourne

Best case: Geelong, Gws, North, Adelaide/Port, GC

 

[briztoon]

Hope not, that is basically 4 definite losses in Coll and Rich

I want every chance we can to play Richmond. I really believe we can beat them. Badddddly.

 

[rangatangtang]

All good noise at the moment, rematches at home against pies and Tigers is delicious

 

[BangyBangy]

If it bleeds we can kill it.

Given we’re locked in to play GC every year, you need to adjust your worst case draw.

And we are def playing North twice.

Also whilst not confirmed we are a chance to be heading to Canberra against the Giants

Can't wait for SnakeBaker to go off his chops yet again

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Reasonable chance it'll be another team from the top 6, so maybe one of Geelong, West Coast or GWS.

If the pies & tigers are double ups would like to think be team in middle 6 bracket.Maybe its wishful thinking.

 

[McLuggages]

Are we though? I agree it's highly likely but it wouldn't suprise me if we're good, that the big Vic boys complain about our percentage boosting advantage...reaaaallly wouldn't suprise me to see it gone for a year I'm 2020/2021.

I meant locked in to play GC twice every year. Just like Port v Adelaide and West Coast v Fremantle play each other twice every year.

You're right. Cue the Vic clubs complaining if we belt them twice and get a percentage boost. You heard it here first.

Can't see that one getting any traction given it hasn't happened for Sydney smashing GWS twice a year or West Coast smashing Fremantle twice a year when Freo was really useless.

Edit: I'm sure eventually there will be at least one 'article' or mention on a show or something that this board will blow out of proportion, simply based off statistics but nothing actually meaningful.

 

[Maroon Monsoon]

My best dartboard guess for doubles - tigers, pies, cats, North, gc

3 top 4 teams.
Ripper!

Personally I think GC will be much more competitive next year anyway.

3 potential sell outs too! Will be great to have the gabba rocking next year

We should be playing them once early too, they've historically been much more competitive in the first half of the season

2xThursday AND 2xFriday night games all at the Gabba is a great result.

I was hoping we'd get a big Friday night game at the MCG or something but still happy if that is our allocation in those slots.

The good draw is to have the harder teams at home that way the away games are more winnable.

It all evens out though, the difference between a "hard" and "easy" draw isn't as big as some in the media make it out to be.

If 1xThurs is Pies and 1xFriday is Tigers, I'm going to guess the others will be out of Geelong/Essendon/West Coast.

So far double ups against Gold Coast and North, hard to find issue with that...
