9 rounds in 6 Weeks - Player availability concern?

4 days break before we fly into Adelaide, with Port getting a 5 day break for a home game.

But, we get 4 days longer than Suns and 2 days longer than Lions.

Strange pairings.

They all look like FTA matches.

I doubt it. No chance Foxtel wouldn't be towing the hard line to get some big games to themselves. Plus I can't imagine Monday/Sunday night games being on FTA.

That said, I will continue to spruik this hack for free Kayo so you watch all games until the very day it is taken away:

Fun fact: if you sign up to BetEasy (no need to place a bet), they'll give you a 3-month Kayo trial (no need to put in credit card details in case you forget to opt out). I've been doing that for two years now.

I refuse to pay for anything Murdoch related. If the content was available on any other platform/provider I'd happily pay, however. Nice way to watch non-FTA games.

Massive ram job.
Make or break 5 weeks.
West coast didn't get a draw like that when they were in Queensland.
Port at Port...let's see if Hocking sends Geelong there.
We play port at home, while Collingwood get Adelaide.
Not confident, we haven't beaten anything decent in the last 3 weeks.
The Hawthorn loss ia huge now
 
Makes this weekends game against GWS all the more important to win.
Need to firmly entrenched in the top 8 as we start this condensed fixture.

We've got one of the toughest runs as we'll be coming off two 6-day breaks to start with. 6 games in 28 days, same as Port and the Bulldogs, before a 9-day rest. Port then has another 6-day break on top of that.

Richmond's shortest span for 6 games is 27 days, in 1911. In 1901, the eight clubs played 6 in 26 days.

Gws vs Sydney in Perth

Hocking is sending us to spotless like when he sent GC to Geelong.
 
We need to concentrate on getting out of this next month with 3 wins.
Don't send senior players to port.
Gc, GWS and Brisbane.
Should be our targeted games.
Then the run to the finals we still have WC Geelong Adelaide Essendon and Fremantle

Looks like a bit of a dream draw to me.

we play Metricon and Gabba very well/. The stats support my eyes.

GWS in Sydney - they aren't that good = win

Footscray on Metricon - Wim

Port in Adelaide = port aren't very good = win

Lions on Metricon , lions are good but we cop them on our home deck = win

Suns on Gabba = Win

we will be on top on 9, 2, 1 and unbackable flag favourites after round 12

I'll be at all 3 home games. I wanted to live in Richmond one day. never thought they'd come to me

any news on sheds baby boy?
