2014 Draw [merged]

[tiga]

We travel to Sydney in round 23 to Sydney out at ANZ Stadium

The Tiger is too big for the SCG to hold 

Finally a Tigers V Swans game in Sydney on a decent sized ground and that for me doesn't involve multiple modes of transport 

On a surface that is disgrace - often referred to a cow paddock 

Or the place we locals affectionately call "Long Stud Stadium"

True because it's prepared fro NRL rather than AFL

I hope they check the grass for snakes before we play there.

GAMES AGAINST 2013 BOTTOM 6: Eight. St Kilda (twice), Greater Western Sydney (twice), West Coast, Gold Coast, Western Bulldogs, Melbourne.

A draw which produces winners and losers

...............................

In a new twist this year, the 18 clubs were divided into three pools - top, middle and bottom - based on their 2013 ladder position.

This had interesting consquences for Carlton and Richmond, in particular.

The Blues, you'll remember, were given a late call-up to the finals this season when Essendon was effectively booted out of the 2013 competition. They then squeaked past Richmond in their first final to become a top-six team. So they went from ninth to sixth in a matter of a week - thus qualifying for the tough 'top' pool in 2014.

By losing that first final, the Tigers meanwhile dropped back into the 'middle' pool and thus earned a significantly easier draw for next year. In fact, Tigers fans - while they might not have been feeling too chipper after losing that elimination final to the old enemy - will look at the 2014 fixture today and think: what a blessing in disguise.

Unless the Dees are drawn to play themselves twice , The Calder Cannons twice and GWS six times then they have a very tough draw.
