I guess I should be happy that it is just 2.

We'll miss both Hendrie and Good, especially Good who is among the best rucks going around.
That Tara Bohanna couldn't get a game is worrying when we need a key forward.
Nice to see gab Pound back.
We don't look as balanced with 2 talls out.
Hopefully, we can still put it together, but we look vulnerable.

We don't have to travel to play the Grand Finalists.
But we've got their measure anyway.

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).
