We DID win a few Wizard cups you know...Sheesh!
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
Only 5 interstate trips and none after round 15.
Only travel to WA and QLD once, twice to SA and NONE to Sydney.
3 games at the G and 14 at Etihad
all and all a pretty good draw

I see that the idea put forward last season that the League be broken into three parts, the teams in each section playing each other twice has nearly been followed. But why are we playing North twice instead of Brisbane?
