The draw won't be released for another two months but with the ladder order basically sorted out now, we can get an idea who we may play twice from the middle-block of 6.
Top 6: Freo, WC, Haw, North, Syd, Adel.
Mid 6:
Rich, Dogs, Port, Geel, GWS, Coll.
Bottom 6: Melb, StK, Ess, GC, Bris, Carl.
* Sides ranked 7-12 on the ladder will have a minimum of one double-meeting with sides ranked 1-6 on the ladder and a maximum of two meetings with sides ranked 1-6. They will have a minimum of two double-meetings of sides ranked 7-12 and a maximum of three double-meetings of sides 7-12. They will have a minimum of one double-meeting of sides ranked 13-18 and a maximum of two double-meetings of sides ranked 13-18.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-08-28/full-statement-from-the-aflAfter topping the attendances this year, the AFL would want us to play Coll, Ess & Carl twice. So that would leave single meetings against Melb, StK, GC & Bris.
Hopefully, we don't play Geelong twice and the AFL force us to play at Kardinia Park
.
nb. This ignores the AFL bringing in a "17-5" fixture whereby you won't know who you're playing twice until round 17 ladder next year.
