Round 1 v Port has become a bit of a tradition, their home game last season, ours next.

I hate port, just pure scum.

[Section 5]

A guess but Pies, Dees & GWS twice and the usual Suns twice.

A guess but Pies, Dees & GWS twice and the usual Suns twice.

That’s a tough draw.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

That’s a tough draw.

Same as this year except without GWS twice

 

[Cuzz09]

We're the only club in the competition that has never played West Coast at Optus Stadium. The last time we played the Eagles in Perth was at Subiaco way back in 2017.

that's weird hey.

Does the draw go off the ladder positions as at round 24 or after finals.
Because ultimately 3 of the top 5 teams is a pretty tough draw.
And the Suns will be better next year too you would assume.

[Dalions]

After finals

That is what I would have thought.
So could certainly see us getting Collingwood and Dees twice, then maybe Port, Saints and Suns.
Which will be a pretty tough draw but that’s what you get when you make the Grand Final.

Would be as shocked (and annoyed) if we were dealt a 5 day break coming back from Perth.

Think we only got 6 days this year, but 7 should really be the minimum given it's the longest trip in footy (and that should apply for Freo/WC when they fly over too).

I like the fact you've managed to eliminate the need for any back-to-back travels (aside the bye that separates 2 rounds). Little things like that can really compound the travel factor that only non-Victorian teams really appreciate.

Plenty of opportunities for '8 point' games though to put some distance between us and our rivals.

We get 3 top 6 teams, 1 middle 6 team, and 1 bottom 6 team.

The Suns will obviously be the bottom 6 team.

I didn’t think it was a hard and fast 3 top 6?
2-3 top 6, 1-2 middle 6 and 1-2 bottom 6?

It was, last time I looked in to the draw.

Maybe dlanod can confirm.

Guess there will be a 6th double up now too with the extra round.

Teams who finish in the top six play 2-3 top six, 1-2 middle six and 0-1 bottom six.

So we can guarantee one bottom six (Suns), and then whatever the breakdown is of the others.

And the chances that 'may the odds be in your favour' will come to pass for us and we will get 2-1-2 when others in the final six include Collingwood, Carlton, Melbourne seem a little dim and require a greater belief in the 'randomness' of the fixture than I possess.

I expect 3-1-1 or 2-2-1 at best but happy to be disappointed.

(of course if we get 2 bottom six you know it will be Suns and Hawks!)

The odds are already in our favour with that locked in Suns game. Some of the other top six won't get any double up against the bottom teams.

My apologies I mis-read the 0-1 for the vs bottom six.

So that means were are either 3-1-1 or 2-2-1 and we can be locking in no double ups against Weagles or Norf or the other three of the bottom six.

Of course Gold Coast might make finals finally or Dimma might lose them completely and they take a spoon and the folks who had Geelong and Sydney last year would have thought better of the results as the year panned out.

Unless you are the Dees who got North (2-0) twice. One in Tassie and one at the MCG.
They also had double ups to Hawks (2-0).
Also, Tigers (2-0) and Swans (2-0) who both had bad seasons compared to the previous year.
The other 2 were Lions (1-1) and the improved Blues (1-1)
Total 10 wins 2 losses
I don't think they will be that lucky again in 2024.

Bet they are peed off they only had the Weagles once.

 

[CarterS]

Not 3 trips to Adelaide please

 

[MSB ROYS]

Ideal: 11 games at the Gabba, 1 at Metricon, 1 in SA for Gather Round, 1 in NSW, 1 in WA, 4 at the MCG and 4 at Marvel.

That would certainly be an upgrade to the value of a Melb Lions Membership
