they have to up the minimum owing to there being an extra non-Victorian team. but collingwood will still get their un-fair share.
average number (excluding sold games) and assuming an even world (
almost couldn't write that) is:
- play everyone once = 8 non-Vic teams = average 4 interstate games for Vic teams assuming alternating home / away
- extra 5 games out of the 17 opposition teams, 8 of which are non-Vic = 5/17 = 0.294 x 8 = 2.35 games on average against non-Vics - assume half are home / away gives another 1.18 additional interstate games
so average interstate games for Vic teams is 5.18.
by the same logic, pre-GC & GWS this would have come to an average of 4.4 for non-Vic teams.
so collingwood playing 5 versus the average of 5.18 is much better (i.e more even) than 4 vs 4.4.
that said they will probably play sydney (ANZ), gc, gws, port and adelaide as their trips (no trips to perth)

alternatively:
WC v Freo = 2 games
Adel v Port = 2 games
Syd v GWS = 2 games
Bris v GC = 2 games
this leaves 10 home games for each interstate team (80 in total), to be played against the 16 out of state teams.
10 of the 16 out of state team are Vic teams.
80 x (10/16) = 50 games against Vic teams
this is exactly 5 games per Vic team, which is the stated minimum. can't see how you could play more than 5 if no-one is playing less than 5, because the average won't work. i'm sure the AFL will find a way.
(pre-GC & GWS - the same logic gives 4.4 interstate games per Vic team, so some* had to play 4 to maintain the average but not sure why some played 6...)

Hawthorn have 3 extra interstate and the Tigers have 2. Melbourne may also have a couple.Rosco wrote:alternatively:

Stop whining, how many times do interstate teams have to travel a season?
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

obviously not the same, but until there are even numbers of teams in each state then that will always be the case.joffaboy wrote:Stop whining, how many times do interstate teams have to travel a season?
i'm hardly whining - this is a competition and travelling interstate to play is widely acknowledged as a disadvantage - so why should one Vic team travel more than any other?
It is occasionly vic sides so it does change the numbers a little.Rosco wrote:but if you switch your own home game interstate then that is your own choice. these are often against teams travelling to vic from interstate anyway, so doesn't add to the Vic teams trips.plugger66 wrote:Hawthorn have 3 extra interstate and the Tigers have 2.
