Last post by DJC -Two games against GWS after the bye
Hopefully they have put the cue in the rack by then, and its a couple of easy/easier wins as a result?
There is that, but you'd think that the AFL could organise the fixture so that games against teams you play twice are before and after the bye.
The early analysis suggests that we've got the tenth hardest draw and that's fair enough given our final ladder position. However, Sydney, Melbourne and Collingwood all have nominally easier draws, and Sydney gets the most prime time slots.

Surely they could've done that better??

Last post by LP -By the time the BYE rolls around we will have a fair idea of how well we are going to go. Looks like our run home is harder than the first 14 rounds (using this seasons performances by other teams as a guide).

Ladies Lounge / Re: AFLW Rd 12: Carlton vs Brisbane in Brisbane
Last post by kruddler -But to cut through all the unlikelies....
We need to beat Brisbane by 1 point more than Gold Coast beat GWS.
Unfortunately, the other game is played after ours, so we have no real control over that.
We just need to win and win well, and then hope its a close game between the other 2, who play on Sunday.
