We play the Eagles after a 5 day break and play them on the day we fly up.
Yes for the 5 day break, but its only 2 hours up to Queensland.
They fly out at 8 or 9, they get there at lunch time and then have 7 hours to get themselves ready.
It's better then flying 4.5 hours to get to Perth and forced to play on the same day.
We have played really well on Metricon in recent years.
If there's one ground to play an away game on, its Metricon or the Gabba.
The last time we lost in Queensland was in 2012...
