Good news getting a 7 day break between 22 and 23.
The curse is dead.

I was talking more about the actual Freo game BAD. We will know all the results of the weekend and whether the Freo game actually means anything in terms of ladder position.

I hope Pav retires after the West Coke game. The last thing we need is them getting a steroid injection over the retirement of their best player the week we play them.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

AFL confirmed his last game will be ......(drum roll) against us.

Agree imagine we may have an incredibly big travelling squad. That being said, I wouldnt be resting players as 3 weeks is far too big a break between games.

We also didn't do too well last game last year in a dead rubber before our elim final.
Although the way the 8 is this year a win could be the difference between an away elimination final and a double chance.

Re: Dogs v Freo Scheduled for last match of round 23.
I thought the idea of waiting to finalise the fixture was to ensure that teams in finals contention all played as close together as possible.
And yet Essendon and Carlton play the MCG on Saturday instead of Hawthorn and Collingwood for, reasons... and Gold Coast get a plum Saturday night fixture while we're forced to work around Pav's farewell?

It really is the year of adversity.

It used to be to try and avoid the top 8 sides playing on Sunday and getting a 5 or 6 day break before their first final
With the second bye now I'm not sure what the point of it is
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Will also know precise margin required should percentage be a factor. Could be very handy.

the club put a request into play the game on the Sunday so it gave them a 7 day break after Round 22.
