If only.We will flog them into administration
As long as a club has 7 days between games they shouldn't be worried about what the oppo get. Hell, a 10 day break may even be counterproductive. A risk of losing a bit of sharpness.10 day break for the demons whilst we have seven
and people ask why we keep getting injuries or not running out games.
its beginning to feel like a deathride.If only.
I'm usually one of the last to advocate for the dissolution of an entire club. But gee whiz North make it ridiculously hard to support keeping them around.
We have double ups against Essendon, Fremantle, Gold Coast Suns, Melbourne, North Melbourne, St Kilda this year. Freo and GC won't make the finals and Norf and St Kilda are trash. We had 2 games in a row in Perth rounds 5 and 6, 2 games in a row in Perth rounds 12 and 13 going into the bye and 2 games in a row in Perth rounds 20 and 21.
I'm not sure we should be complaining too hard about this years fixture.
We also have no 5 day breaks when most teams have 1 or 2. The break discrepancies are largely a function of the brain dead round zero idea which is something that screws over more than half the competition. I just don't think our draw when looking at its entirety rather than just one month in isolation warrants complaint.The 2 home games in a row in rounds 5&6 and 20&21 are a natural byproduct of the derby and happen every year.
Consecutive home games in rounds 12 and 13 are a bit of an anomaly but is countered by having to travel 3 times in the first four rounds
We were also handed games against 3 finalists from 2023 plus the team that finished 9th in those 4 games giving us little chance of generating some early season momentum
Our double ups are sides 5th, 7th, 11th, 14th, 15th and 17th which is acceptable but also what you’d expect for a side finishing 18th.
The game against Melbourne this weekend will be our second consecutive home game where our opponent will have had 3 extra days break heading into the game having not travelled the week before like we did
Is our draw terrible? Probably not, but it hasn’t done us any favours either

AFL did the same thing with essendon. Make sure they have a nice long break before having to travel.10 day break for the demons whilst we have seven
and people ask why we keep getting injuries or not running out games.
Hopefully their season is shot by then and they're totally flatIt's been a season of Sundays...
A Friday night! vs. The Suns..wonder if we can whack 'em at home?
Yet we still finished all over the top of Essendon. As I said as long we have a full 7 days between games there can be no excuse for not running out the game.The game against Melbourne this weekend will be our second consecutive home game where our opponent will have had 3 extra days break heading into the game having not travelled the week before like we did
