Odd draw this year?!

[Sanecow]

After round twelve we will have played St Kilda, West Coast and Port twice without having faced Melbourne, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Carlton, Adelaide or Fremantle so much as once! It's a pretty dull arrangement if you're a Swans fan! Let's hope that St Kilda, West Coast and Port have great second halves of the season.

Only after they play the Swans in the second round.

Draw is generated using some program they use in the NFL to generate maximum revenue. It does look pretty ordinary the way it's set out at the moment, i liked it the old way! (Play every team once through rounds 1-15 then start over again)

if you consider that the top 4 will come from the Swans, Dogs, Cats, Hawks, Pies and maybe Crows (who you could discount on current form) we are pretty unlucky to be facing 3 of them twice this year. Plus the lions & saints who will also be in the top 8 you'd think, and port & WC who will be just outside and are tough road trips.

By contrast, the crows only get the dogs and hawks twice. The other 5 teams are almost gimmes.

The pies get us, the hawks, the roos and the saints.

The dogs get us, the crows, the saints and the lions.

The cats get us and the roos!!!!

The hawks get the crows, the pies, the roos and the lions.

The roos are the only contenders who have a schedule as tough as ours. In fact theirs is arguably worse. They get the cats, hawks, dogs (the unholy trio), pies, lions, port and Melbourne.

Puts us behind the 8 ball as far as the race for the top 4 goes, especially as we have already spotted the other teams a lead. The cats have got a sweet ride and will almost certainly finish in top spot.
