Geelong will be sore and injured towards the end if going by previous seasons haha

Would be a huge confidence booster going into finals if we could get it done, assuming we make them. However I can just see it going to sh*t and breaking my heart like every other time we play those campaigners.

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Once again Brisbane don't travel to play us here in Perth

 

[Spod]

Best fixture in a long, long time. Turns out there is some benefit to actually missing finals for once!

That Geelong game in r23 is the only real blemish... hopefully it's a dead rubber for either us or them.

 

[squashface]

The highest travelling team in the comp being made to fly to Queensland twice is always fun

 

[larrikin]

FFS another 4:20 game.

Can stick these late Sunday games

Must be in the minority, I enjoy the Sunday twilight games.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

LOL. Imagine if we ended as season like that. They only leave Melbourne twice in last 9 games.

The Cats play a total of nine games at their home ground and finish with three of the final four and five of the final eight at their fortress.

 

[Rowan18]

That is a very good fixture. Play the hard games at home, double up with a lot of easier opponents. If we are any good, we should smash it next year.

I am still mystified by the fact poor Essendon plays us at Optus yet again, while bloody Brisbane has never played us at Optus (this is the 5th season at the stadium!). I don't think we've played Melbourne at the MCG for a long time either.

 

[Quinz]

Can't be disappointed with that fixture. Round 23 is a bastard but we'll know what we have to do by that stage anyway. No SCG trip, Adelaide Freo and GC twice, Melbourne and the Dogs at home.

They barely leave the Cattery in the last two months. Being propped up for a finals tilt.

A lot of comments about Vic teams playing at home in round 1, Geelong in round 23 and Friday nights but based on the first 9 rounds, we're either genuine or its a rebuild year. Not many teams miss finals after a 5-0 start. Also, the Geelong game comes after a derby, which is usually a down week for us so giving us possibly the hardest game in this week is a plus I reckon. A week off afterwards gets us fresh for finals. If we make it that far...

 

[The wily weagle]

West coast sitting in the top 8 by slim percentage at the end of round 22, needing a win to seal a finals spot

Trip to Geelong in round 23

Simpson says we are up for the fight

We all know what happens next.........

 

[kaiserchief13]

A fixture like 2018 - expected tough opponents at home and easier ones away. Should start the season at least 3-1, if not 4-0, otherwise another poor season ahead

 

[WCE_phil]

Will be interesting to see. We'll either be a contender or right down the bottom.

The best fixture we've had in years. The only piece of bullshit i've seen is back to back 6 day breaks after the derby.

 

[wirra44]

Can someone explain to me why Freo get 3 optus games in a row and we don’t? , we obviously request something else don’t know what it is tho maybe the 2 home games after the bye?

 

[DanWCE]

The saving grace about Round 23 is getting the equaliser in Perth. We have to take the 4 points against the Cats at Optus, especially as they'll be contending for top 8.

Same applies to the Tigers double up, although history suggests we're a much better chance against them at the G than Cats down in Geelong.

We get the bye and 2 home games in a row. With our last game before the bye against the crows which is the least travel we can do. It'll hopefully give the players a good solid block where they can get some training in as well as the usual recovery.

The social media team however have earned their money this year .

That sucked.

 

[DanWCE]

Not sure if the difficulty analysis is based on our real or perceived fixture but they got a fair bit of that wrong.

 

[Smeg Head]

Those 3 6 day breaks early in the season blow, rest of it doesnt seem too bad.

deserves to be in the bias incompetent thread

I've said this before but the biggest impact to the side is in recovery (assuming gameplan and players are up to scratch) so back to back 6 day breaks and games against more rested opponents are huge.
