No Suns in the first month before they drop their bundle is good.
Only one Perth trip is good, vs Freo even better.

Cold, hard facts
The teams we play twice are Carlton, GWS Giants, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide and Fremantle
Only one of those teams (the Giants) played finals in 2019
Four of our first five games are at Marvel Stadium
Five of our first six games are on free-to-air TV
Four of our five interstate games are on free-to-air TV
Our last seven games are in Victoria
We have 12 night games in 2020, the most we’ve had since 2017
We’re back on Good Friday, against North Melbourne in Round 4
For the first time since 2010, we have a Round 1 home game against a Victorian team
Only one Perth home-and-away trip for the first time since 2016
Our first game at the SCG since 2017
No Queensland game for the second time in three years
Our bye is in Round 14, between home games against the GWS Giants and Essendon
*Note – the Round 23 fixture is a floating one, with date, time and broadcaster to be confirmed late in the season
Couldn't really ask for a much better draw. Plenty of exposure, good timeslots, only 1 2019 finals team played twice in GWS, interstate games are well spread and a run of Victorian games leading into finals.
Aside from ABCBA Stadium it's a great draw for us.
Very happy we are not playing West Coast in Perth. Good experience to get Richmond Round 19 at the G if we both play finals and potentially meet.
This is an amazing effort from Port

That is a fantastic fixture. 13 prime time games!
Is there any downside aside from Geelong?
Even the Ballarat games are just about perfect.
