we better not cop hawthorn twice in the H&A season again.
i think bottom 6 teams only have 1 return fixture against a top 8 team.
make it richmond.
Only once next year.
Bottom 6 teams only have to play the top 6 teams twice once or not at all.
My guess we will play the following twice;
Collingwood, Essendon****, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Port.
Port twice would be a disaster given they are probably going to jump up the ladder considerably. Give me teams on the slide.
I thought it was a 2-2-1 split. 2 bottom 6 teams twice, 2 Middle 6 teams twice, 1 top 6 team twice. Hence I'm thinking its *insert bottom 6 team, Essendon**, Collingwood, Richmond, *insert top 6 team.

Under the new model, the AFL ladder will be bracketed into three groups of six – simply 1-6, 7-12 and 13-18. To determine the five return or "double-up" fixtures for each club, a few straightforward restrictions are in place. Teams will be limited to a minimum of two and a maximum of three "double up" games against clubs in the same third of the ladder.
So at a minimum we should get 2 bottom 6 return fixtures. Max 3 - and given we came last - we really should get it.

More interesting was the restriction that teams will be limited to no more than one return game against a team in the bracket at the "opposite" end of the ladder.
So maximum one return fixtures against top 6 teams is possible - i.e. this year was Hawthorn.
If we get 3 return fixtures vs bottom 6 teams - we shouldn't get any return fixtures against top 6 teams.
I think we'll get 2 bottom 6 teams (one being Essendon*) & 1 middle 6 (richmond or collingwood)
It would be really wrong if we copped Richmond & Collingwood twice (both middle 6 teams) simply because of the rivalries.
