Best draw would be playing Port, GWS and GC all twice :)

But we need the $$$$$$$$$

The 3 home games against those clubs would surely mean that will be writing out some BIG cheques with Collo's name on them.

We need balance !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

With all due respect Eastern, balance wont help us make the top 4 to give us a realistic crack at it. An easy draw and wins will. I'll take a premiership and a handout from the AFL over a nothing season with a profit any day of the week.

AND what about balance of playing the top teams, no point having an easy draw and then fall flat on our face in September because we only played the top teams once and no doubt played them earlier in the season. To play all the easy teams twice is no work out..... Balance yes, but a team needs to play hard games to make them a great side, playing cellar dwellers is not going to achieve that.

Need home games at the MCG against teams like Collingwood and Geelong... Not home games against Port Adelaide and GWS.

It is certainly a move to a fairer draw and coupled with the extra handouts it seems like the AFL is doing more to say give a Bulldogs or Kangaroos a great shot at winning the comp when they have the players to do so.

If we all have to travel 5 times during the year so be it. I don't care who we play as long as everyone else (Vic sides) do the same.

People will always whinge that one or two teams have a better draw travelling yadda yadda however it is much better and more importantly equitable compared to what was happening previously.
