Eddie came up with a better idea. Two non WA clubs fly over, play one WA team one week and 6 days later play the other side.

Then the WA sides each seperately play two games away with a 6 day break and stay interstate for six days.

That would reduce interstate travel for all involved, including non WA clubs. Eddie was pumping up AFL tourism as fans could visit Perth or Melbourne for 6 days and watch two games. Very smart concept.
More accurately, Eddie did not come up with that idea. The subject of ‘interstate’ travel has been appearing here fairly often over the years, with that idea raised as one possible solution.
Travel is an issue only for WA fans. It’s all but invisible to the vAFL media - so it’s a pleasant rarity to hear that from Eddie (whose club probably has more advantage than any).

Doing that squiggle ladder predictor and it's funny we could win 6 games and finish 16th and win 5 and finish 15th obviously depends other results.

Seems like the AFL are treating this weekend as a bit of a "rivalry round". Every Non-Victorian team is playing their in state rivals, expect for us in WA.

Just an observation...

The fixturing this year has been a dog’s breakfast due in part to opening round

Sides with an extra bye, discrepancies in preparation time between competing clubs, clubs having games crammed together unnecessarily, lack of regard to impacts of travel etc

Very little makes sense

Just an example we played Gold Coast away on Sunday and will now play Essendon on Saturday night. Essendon last played on Thursday at the MCG making it a team with a 9 day break playing one on a 6 day break which included flying back from Gold Coast to Perth

It’s absurd

I mean we are playing the team I most like to see us beat.
