League chief operating officer Gillon McLachlan said the powerhouse sides would get the lion's share of the Friday and Saturday night blockbusters.

"I think it's a reality - and it's not a new one - that teams in the top half of the ladder, the best teams, will get a disproportionate share of the marquee slots," McLachlan said.

"That's cyclical.

"I remember, probably about five years ago, when Carlton and Hawthorn were complaining.

"The had seven or eight free to air games, they couldn't get on Friday night, and they were down the bottom of the ladder.

"You'll find this year that Hawthorn and Carlton are a dominant force in the free to air fixture."

No mention of us as far as playing in Tassie:

Round 5 Hawthorn vs Sydney @Aurora

Round 10 on Saturday, June 2 Hawthorn vs North Melbourne @ Aurora

... with Sydney scheduled for a Launceston round-five game next year and the Giants a strong chance to come to Hobart, it is most likely the Hawks' remaining two Tasmanian games will come from Adelaide, Port Adelaide and Fremantle.

Maybe we could be playing in hobart against kangaroos. I thought Kangaroo's play 2 games in hobart.
GWS will be one of them so true we could be the other.

Not sure if this has already been posted or not.

Will give all pro-tanking fans something to think about. Lose and improve our 1st rounder or win and improve our compo  :lol

Wonder if he counted them as a top 4 team.

maybe the RFC saw it as well  ;D

But seeing club's put in their wish list, maybe the club have done what they did re this year's draw (2011 just gone) and requested big games in the first 6 rounds against the likes of the Pies & Hawks

Surely a couple of easier games would be more beneficial for membership??
