News GWS 2016 Fixture

Only one trip to Perth this season. .

Very happy abut this.

A tough draw but if we can maintain a healthy squad, I'm still confident of finals next year.
.

im sure we will make the finals this year. we are building momentum that we need

The bombers ban is going to add to our list of hurdles in clinching a finals spot this year.

3 of the sides that we'd likely be in competition with for a top 8 spot (namely Geelong, Richmond & Suns) all get 2 cracks at Essendon.

I realise Essendon were likely bottom 4 candidates before the ban, but still would have been a decent chance of stealing a win here or there. Now they're looking like a gift 4 points and a percentage boost.

That said though, I'm still confident we'll be watching our boys in finals footy this year.

So may consequences from the Essendon saga. Just frustrating that this is even a factor we have to consider!

Don't see the problem, myself. We'll just have to smack Geelong, Richmond and the Suns to get 12 points off them.

We play Freo, Syd and the Cats twice. We don't play bombers twice. The fixture is not good for us at all.

 

[Colonial]

To be fair we have had some bloody easy ones in the past
Am excited about this. Will really show where we are at having a much harder draw.

We were meant to have easy ones as we were finishing last or thereabouts. We are playing three extremely strong clubs twice.. Perennial top four type clubs. Who else outside of the eight has that this year?

 

[JC100]

Strong or weak draw doesn't matter. We have the side to knock anyone off. Good luck to any side who thinks they can stop Cameron/Patton/Johnson/Smith.

And im looking forward to it.

If we want finals, and to do well in them, we need to beat these teams.

We have the cattle without a doubt to be doing some damage in the 8.

 

[Vic pokiesmon]

Agree we may be disadvantaged but it will only to a small degree.No excuse really

Agree on this. Without people saying the club only made finals because they had an easy draw
