Have heard ,on good authority that we have have 19 games in Melbourne next season.
As our record of success once we get on a plane is appalling this should ensure we have a few more wins therefore a solid final 8 position is achievable.

I can't recall any team only having 3 interstate trips. At least in the past 5-10 years.
Doubtful.

Yep, and I heard from a golden source, that we play all the top 8 teams except Brisbane, twice, and the only bottom 8 team we play twice is Hawthorn. We will play once in Adelaide, Subiaco and Sydney. That will mean that Sydney have not played us in Melbourne for the 4th f***'n year in a row. By my reckoning, they have in fact only played us in Melbourne 4 times in the last 11 years while we have playd them in Sydney 11 times. What a f***'n joke that is. Absolutely absurd.

A few more wins? Instead of going 4 times, we go three times, that's only one less game interstate.

Pretty sure Collingwood in 2007 only went 3 times (four if you count the final).

This part slightly concerns me. However, I would rather have a tough draw during the season than an easy one and come into the finals and be embarrassed like Collingwood have in the past 3 years.
