Sorry if it's been mentioned by why are Geelong playing Essendon, St Kilda & Richmond twice?

Soften them up for a prelim

Does it contravene their 'formula'?

(Genuine question, i don't actually know the formula...what double ups are top 6 teams supposed to get?)

No - you play 2-3 games against your own grouping and can play 1-2 games against the other two groups when you finish in the top 6. Geelong get the following double ups:

Brisbane Lions, Essendon, GWS Giants, Port Adelaide, Richmond, St Kilda (3x top 6, 2x middle 6, 1x bottom 6)

Of course - those who let Geelong live rent free can't wait to jump at shadows and claim conspiracies despite the fact that of all the multiples they copped the worst possible one by getting 3 top 6 teams and 2 middle 6 teams. Not sure how copping the reigning premiers twice, a perpetual top 4 side of the past 5 years who do their best work in the regular season and GWS who lost two close finals to both grand finalists and will only improve is an easy run - but hey, when you are obsessed with the Corio minnows like some are here you'll find a way!

Some posters seem to post more about them than they do about Hawthorn - it's genuinely bizarre.

My understanding was each team plays 2x top 6, 2x middle 6 and 2x bottom 6, but some teams playing a third game from the same group seems to match up with what I've seen, so that makes sense.

Can change year to year - we copped the 2, 2, 2. Brisbane, Sydney and Port all copped the 3, 2, 1 combo as well. I get having Richmond twice will definitely cushion the blow - but copping GWS, Port and Brisbane twice is no cakewalk. Particularly when Port beat them at Kardinia this year, Brisbane have come bloody close the last two times they played there and GWS have won their last 4 games there.

St Kilda also beat them as well this year although thar was assisted by Battle destroying Cameron
