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).

Yes, I was thinking the very same.

Quick breakdown....

24 Rounds.
23 games
1 bye

17 teams including 6 double ups.

Teams we play twice....
North Melbourne - R2 + R16
Melbourne - R4 + R18
Collingwood - R5 + R21
Port Adelaide - R6 + R23
Geelong - R8 + R19
Giants - R17 + R24

Only 16 rounds (15 games) have days/times allocated so far.

From that 15 we have....
2 - Thursday night games
1 - Friday day game - (good friday vs North)
2 - Friday night games
2 - Saturday day games
2 - Saturday night games
6 - Sunday games....
     2x - 3:15
     1x - 5:40
     2x - 6:10
     1x - 7:45 - (kings birthday eve vs bombers)
    

We travel interstate 6 times....
R4 - vs Melbourne (Adelaide - gather round)
R6 - vs Port
R10 - vs Gold Coast (Darwin)
R12 - vs West Coast
R17 - vs Giants
R22 - vs Sydney

We also travel down to GMHBA (R19) for the first time since Covid in 2020.

Worst Scheduling quirk...
R4 - We are in Adelaide playing the demons on the Saturday for gather round.
R5 - We fly back to melbourne and play Pies after a 5 day break
R6 - We fly back to Adelaide to play Port on the Sunday, a 9-day break.

Surely they could've done that better??

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.
