We have been handed an advantage over each team in terms of days break in the preceding week. This is how it looks in the week before:
R8 Gold Coast- 6-day break for us, 5-day break for them
R9 Richmond- 6-day break for us, 5 for them
R10 Port- 5-day break for us, 4 for them
R11 Lions- 5-day break for us, 4 for them
R12 Adelaide 8-day break for us, 5 for them
Critically, we also seem to hold an advantage on each team when you wind back a bit further. Brisbane and Adelaide, in particular, should be pretty cooked when we get them.
Brisbane will be coming off of 5, and then two consecutive 4 day breaks v our 6, and two consecutive 5's.
Adelaide will be coming off two consecutive 4's, then a 5 day break v our two consecutive 5's and an 8 day break.

Wonder when our bye will occur? I assumed it would be after the Crows game.
I now have a bad feeling we will need to travel to Perth and our bye will be during quarantine.
Round 18 with Fremantle, but details not published
West Coast (and I assume Freo) in Queensland is a win. Hopefully the Eagles hate it up there as much as they did the first time around.
What’s chance of playing Freo at Metricon? Amazing if no trip to WA. C’mon dogs-let’s stick it right up ‘em. Time to turn the ship around.
