#AFL Round 10 Weekly Discussion Thread

[Mel_C]

I noticed that non Victorian teams are being given less games on the MCG even when they are playing against an MCG tenant.

On the weekend the Eagles played the Hawks at Etihad and Adelaide played Melbourne in Alice Springs. Next week Port Adelaide play the Hawks in Launceston. In a few weeks we will be playing Richmond at Etihad.

I'm sure there are other examples. It just shows the continued disadvantage that non Victorian teams face.

Has any premier ever had an easier opening draw than Richmond?

In their first 10 games they have played 8 in Melbourne with 7 of those at their home ground of the MCG. Only 2 if those games involved finalists from last year (and they?ve lost both).

Not to mention the teams they play twice, along with where they currently sit on the ladder:

6. Geelong
7. Adelaide
8. Pies
12. Bombers
16. St Kilda

Compared to us:

1. Weagles
5. Norf
6. Geelong
10. Hawks
11. GWS
