Not as beneficial as I had hoped and not really reflective our bottom of the table finishes for last three years!
We play Saints, WC, WB, E and Port twice, which based on ladder positions is 2 from bottom 6, 2 from mid 6 and 1 from top 6.
We play 13 times against sides that finished outside the 8 and have 9 games against top 8 sides. However sides expected to slide from the 8 include Sydney, Hawks and Geelong so that improves our numbers to only 6 games against quality top 8 sides. Conversely sides expected to move into 8 would be (apart from Freo) North and Bombers who we will play twice. I would consider a home game against NM winnable meaning on the toughness scale the 2 bombers games bring the top eight contests back to 8,
Games at home are all winnable apart from maybe the Tigers and lets say halving the derbies. That means we should have a good chance of winning 10 of 12 homes games. winnable away games are GCS round 2, dogs round 19, saints round 21 for 13 wins and 50/50 games will be hawks in Tassie round 17 and maybe crows round 7, So potential for between 13 and 15 wins on this draw.
