2019 Fixture

[one-eyed]

Champion Data has us with the 6th easiest draw.



On the other hand, watch for the Tigers to purr home. Their last seven games are played at the MCG, of which one will be their round 22 clash with premiers West Coast. They don't face the Eagles in Perth, either, and Champion Data rates theirs the 13th hardest fixture.

Back-to-back road trips to Greater Wester Sydney and Adelaide in rounds three and four present a difficulty early for Damien Hardwick, but the Tigers, having dominated last year before falling at the preliminary final, have a friendly draw and loom as contenders again.

I get that draw is not equitable

18 teams being able to play each other twice can't be done when the H&A season is made up of 22 games per team; so it can't be

But seriously, the one thing these morons at HQ should do is make sure in the first 17 rounds each team plays each other once - that is fair

That we don't play WCE until round 22 and Brisbane rd 23 is farcical 

Add to the stupidity of AFL HQ, us playing the Swans at Docklands once again who have a decent Melbourne supporter base while we play the Giants who have no support at the MCG.

What ever happened to if you play a team away one year, you play them at home the next year?

North
Gold Coast

WTF!

No coincidence we are the away team to minnow clubs like North, Bullodogs, St Kilda & the Suns. The AFL using our massive member/supporter base to prop the home attendances and pockets of these club.

Yep, comes with the territory of being the biggest AFL club.

We all know they are deluded.

Why are we always the only Big 4 club that doesn't get to play the other three twice?

If we don't, that means the team we play once also can only play two twice. That means there are always only two big 4 teams that can play each of the other 3 twice. Yes, we are never one of the other two. 

For 2019 also has to do with where each club finished at the end of round 19-20... we finished top 6, so we cannot play both Essendon and Carlton twice ...

And seriously who are the big 4 these days? Richmond, Collingwood, Essendon and ????

Certainly not Carlton 

Hawthorn

[Francois Jackson]

Hawthorn? Not sure about that either. Biggest turncoats going around that lot

Based on the double up games, both SA sides have been given the easiest draw next year.

Our H&A record this year was 4-2 against Carl, Coll, GWS, Melb & Port. 4-3 if you include the Prelim loss to the Pies.
