GAMES AGAINST 2013 TOP 6 Sydney Swans (twice), Hawthorn, Fremantle, Geelong, Carlton, Port Adelaide.

GAMES AGAINST 2013 BOTTOM 6 St Kilda (twice), Greater Western Sydney (twice), West Coast, Gold Coast, Western Bulldogs, Melbourne.

WHAT WE (AFL site) SAY A very favourable draw, which increases the pressure on the Tigers to finish near the top of the ladder in 2014.



I'd love top 4, and it's a huge possibility with this draw... But as said above - it means we're gonna have pressure on us, so it might be interesting to see how we cope with the expectations.

I'm gonna say 5th... but I certainly won't complain if we finish higher.  ;D

Jeez 2012s Adelaide of 2014?

TOUGHEST RUN Play North Melbourne, Fremantle and the Sydney Swans between rounds 12 and 14, although all the matches are in Melbourne.

If thats the toughest run...

[Jroo]

I think we've got a decent draw.
Adelaide got a lot easier draw in 2012, Ric. They played Gold Coast, GWS and Port twice  :o

[Mailman the 2nd]

I dunno it looks pretty easy

Saints are as bad as GC from 2012. You have them twice
You have GWS twice
Melbourne = Port. You have them once
Bulldogs are only marginally better. You have them once

You can't really say that. We have to play these teams at least once.
That's like saying Freo have an easy draw they play Melbourne, GWS, St.Kilda once so they have an easy draw.
I don't think our draw is that easy and the competition is pretty even, probably around 12-14 teams could make the 8 next year.

Let's not sugarcoat it JROO, there's no denying it's quite favourable.

Yes it's favourable, but it's not on the same level as Adelaide's draw a few years back.
And you can't say because we play Melbourne and Weatern Bulldogs once each, it's an easy draw.

I don't think we should be comparing it though. We're not Adelaide.

I genuinely believe we have the potential to be 8-2 after Round 11 - with losses only to the Cat and Pies.
