It's like a movie cop on his last day before retirement - it's tempting fate big time
Re: 2016 Draw Reply #78 – October 30, 2015, 09:15:00 pm The AFL could run a lightning premiership with two 15 minute halves and the final on the Sunday afternoon. It might be our best chance for some silverware

Then we have a weekend off to do some gardening.Sounds good now but bet it'll be crap when the time arrives. Kills public "momentum" leading ti the finals. Get on a high after round 23 then anti-climax.

Richmond finished 5th at the end of the H+A season. Although they did lose week 1 of finals.

The Bombers, like the Blues, have generally had a fixture in the tougher half of the rankings despite their comparative lack of latter-day success, but that all changes next year.Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-fixture-release-2016-our-formula-finds-the-real-winners-and-losers-20151030-gkmur1.html#ixzz3q6M04uBp
