Yes but you liked raptor head ;)

I used to travel there for work and it can be bloody freezing, if they wanted a night Tassie game why not early or late in the year not in the friggin middle of winter!!

Well I’ve lived here for 12 years, GK is right - windy and cold at night in Launceston at that time of year!!
 
Whoever predicted the regional road trip is spot on

Five out of the last six seasons playing a game in Ballarat

Five years in a row playing in Tasmania

There's only 10 games a year at those venues, so in the last 5 years we've played in nearly 20% of them

Fair point. :) But honestly, I have lived in Canberra and Canada - both of which I found colder than Tassie (Hobart particularly).

Things to look out for in the fixture:

Since 2011 we have played Carlton away 13 times and at home just 3 times

In the last decade we have only played Fremantle away 3 times

Since we last played Hawthorn in a final, we've been given 8 away games (2 in Tasmania) and 4 home games against them. If we only play Hawthorn once in Tasmania this year, our record over the last decade will be 4 home games and 3 Tasmania games

Since the grand final we have played Richmond 6 times at home and only twice away. We've also had an incredible home run against St Kilda (since 2011, 12 home games, 5 away games)

We have played Western Bulldogs more times in Ballarat than at Adelaide Oval (4-3) and this will stretch to 5-3 if we only play them once in Ballarat this year
 
It's because they refuse to send Victorian teams there. That's the only reason.

God I hate the VFL

They refuse to send a couple of them there (Essendon, Collingwood) but mostly it's because we are shit.

If you're shit, you get a shit fixture because no one wants to watch you
 
Oh look, we are back on the shit draws again. Thanks VFL.
That boss eyed moron goal umpire costing us finals got us exactly 1 year of special treatment and avoiding the shithole, and now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Jeez I wish we were good enough to pump the Dogs there every year. If we flogged them there each time you can bet we suddenly wouldn't get fixtured there any more.
