    Western Bulldogs Draw 2016

    I hope for a few Friday Nights. Surely last night showed this group is PRIME TIME stuff.

    The silver lining of finishing 8th means we fall into the middle group of teams that get the moderate challenge of the draw.

      Also bumps us up the draft order a little. With Tiges losing today, I think we are officially 8th, so draft pick 11 (before compensation/priorities)?

          Yep. 11 in natural spot, less comp picks perhaps. A strong first pick.

              Stevo reported 2-3 Friday night games only for 2016.
              More of an In Bruges guy?

                      3 Friday Night games is perfectly fine imo. But then again, I don't think anyone should have more than 4-5 even if they're a big drawing team that's just won the premiership in the past year.

                              I want some MCG games. If we are going to play home finals there, it might be nice to play a couple of games there beforehand,

                                  I wonder if we'll put in a request to play more games at the G.

                                  I sure hope so.

                                      Yep, we need to put in a submission never to play Hawthorn away in Tassie ever again. Play them at the 'G, Richmond and Melbourne too and maybe the Pies as well and I think that will be enormously beneficial.

                                          Do you mean play them as our or their home games? I think that proposal with Collingwwod has an alternating take.
                                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                              Away games. Hawks can play interstate teams in Tassie, not us.

                                                  Time to petition the AFL to rotate Anzac Day clash. Why is that the prerogative of Collingwood and Essendon?

                                                      It makes no real sense to play 2 Vic teams in Tassie anyway (except the Hawks get a home advantage of sorts)

                                                          They already do. North play home games there too.
