Yes. What else did you expect, Collingwood Carlton or Essendon to have the most?

I noticed we get rid of 3 of these in 1 hit, where we play Monday in Round 7, then Sunday, followed by Saturday, then Friday. 4 games in 19 days.

Stop whinging FFS.... it's a good draw.

What do you want? 8 Days breaks each week and playing GWS 22 times???

Then why are you so angry?

I was just quoting the reporter, then sarcastically remarked about it, and pointed out we then play 1/3 of them in a row...

All the more reason to see our more senior players managed well.

Not angry at all..... delighted at the draw.... admittedly though, somewhat bemused that some people will always try and make a case that the AFL seeks out to continually shaft us every day of the year

All good though :D :D :D :D :D

Nice of the AFL to organise 2 back-to-back interstate trips for us this year, i felt that the 1 last year wasn't good enough.

6 interstate trips, well thats always going to happen when you sell some of your home games... wait we dont do that

At least we got a couple of big drawing MCG home games... wait one of them is against Melbourne really going to draw the large crowd that one.

Why can't Carlton host the annual Monday home game?

How many six day breaks are offset by the opposition having a six day break as well? Feeling lazy.

also, need to look at how many opposing teams have 6 day breaks againts us when we have 7 days or more to get a net number.

Round 8 vs West Coast - 8 days (we travel there!)

You would think the AFL would give us all the favours. Fancy giving us a great draw but wrecking it with 6 day breaks especially as they seemed to have no effect on our form this year.

Better to find a negative out of a great draw.
