I am shocked that Geelong get a nice beneficial draw...!
All those father-son gifts are running out now, so let's go to the draw.
Someone likes Geelong a lot. All the breaks between matches...double ups etc. Extra game at Geelong. Sweeter than sugar.
Analysis
It’s all about getting a good rest for Geelong in the first 15 rounds of their fixture; and they’ll be absolutely loving it. The Cats do need to bare one five-day break before July, but in return, they’ve managed to snag a nine-day break, 10-day break, and wait for it... an 11-day break! We’re not sure how they’ve managed to land such a strong amount of rest, but when you add in the fact they’ll get an extra home game at GMHBA Stadium next season – they’ve nailed it. The Cats will play Richmond and St Kilda twice in a win but will be tasked with double ups against the likes of Brisbane, GWS and Port Adelaide in tougher games.
Fixture difficulty (based on double-ups): 8th-easiest

Yet if you listen to the media we have been gifted an easy draw.
We finished 8th which puts us in the middle 6 teams. Top 6 teams are supposed to get the harder draw and the bottom 6 an easier one. By finishing in the middle 6 we play 2 top 6 teams twice, 2 middle 6 teams twice and 2 bottom 6 teams twice.
It is no easier than other clubs who finished in a similar ladder position.
Everyone just loves to hate Carlton.
