Surely Freo are our only top 6 double up??

This dumb round is round 5.
Norf in Melbourne
Home
Away Derby
Home (presumably)
Geelong in Adelaide
That fixture, if it comes to be true, probably leads to a brutal back-season of travel (the old they have travelled less than the usually do so a brisbane trip, then home game, then GC trip, home again then tassie is actually not that bad trick).
5 weeks, 1 trip to Melbourne and 1 to Adelaide (2 away and 1 neutral game covered off) would be a great result.
And yet I might still feel good if we are 1-4
I think we could get up to two top 4 double ups.
TBH apart from geelong i cant remember who else finished top 6 this year off the top of my head.
Looking now i'd say one of brisbane/sydney could possibly be a double up in addition to freo.

Cool, that's looking like a 4:1 result. Double last year in the first 5 rounds. Can't wait.

Apparently more flights will be put on for Gather Round. Nice try, AFL, but you aren’t going to trick me into voluntarily spending money to visit Adelaide.

Then we’ll be away round 6 because Freo will have a home game for Anzac Day round.
Two home games and an away derby in the first six rounds means we’ll have nine home games in the remaining 17.

I reckon round 4 might be an away game (three in a row at Optus??) which would make round 6 at home
Not wrong, i was legit going to do the same thing.
Head over, play some golf, visit some wineries, watch a bit of football... what's not to like?
Aaand then i see the Fixture, that idea can go straight in the toilet
Would rather watch my team get humiliated from my the comfort of my own house, get a zinger box in me, before copping a punch to the back of the head walking through Yagan square later on that evening
Presumably the AFL doesn't want to waste good match-ups on the round because they figure neutrals won't be interested. So either they've completely misunderstood the point of their own freaking round or they're expecting it to fail (or want it to).

Seems like The Age has leaked the fixture early. Says 2022 but if you open it it’s definitely the 2023 fixture
Doubles with Richmond, Carlton, North, Bombers and Crows. Not bad.
Have pretty good match ups at home. Looking at the fixture it's gentle enough to get us a top 8 finish if we stay on the park.
The funky fixture quirks remain. Bombers and Dees have to play us at Optus yet again (I can't remember a season where we didn't have a home game against those two). We play Brissie at the Gabba too - that's the sixth season now and they've never played us at Optus!
Get a trip to Tassie to play Hawks, which is bullshit. WA teams shouldn't go to Tassie. Also play Swans at SCG, so lock that as a loss straight up.
Play two games in Adelaide back to back (one for magic round against Cats and then Crows the next week). Then play Port at AO as well.

A 6 day turnaround between Geelong in Adelaide on a Sunday then port in round 6 on Saturday midday
Strong argument to say we spend the week there rather than come home
Given Fremantle play Adelaide the week before gather round also with a 6 day break, I wonder whether the AFL have discussed this with the WA clubs. Seems too much like a coincidence for it to have happened by accident

Port have 2x Geelong, Collingwood, Richmond, Bulldogs, Essendon and Adelaide for the death ride.
That is a stupidly hard draw for a team that didn't make the 8.
Why did they give us a 6 day break from playing Hawks in tassie to Bombers at home?
Lol - kiss their top 8 chances goodbye

Good, if you trade away all of your future picks to poach multiple opposition players the AFL should make you earn it.

That’s a shame.
So is this a leak.of the fixture?
