BTW, 255 of 356 games feature a home club playing at their home stadium (72% of games) and this represents an average of 1.27 "home games" per team.

There is an afternoon game at Morphett Vale at a respectable time, but certainly no 8:30 game on Sat morning at the Vale which everyone loves!
All that aside, apart from the token 7 games at Starplex and 8 games in the Adelaide Hills, the most "hostile" court is Marion. Of the 35 games programmed there, South feature in 28 of them (80%) The "least hostile" is Port Adelaide. Of the 48 games scheduled, West feature in just 58%.
Southern should not complain. Of their 20 teams, 38 of the 55 scheduled games at the Vale feature Southern (1,9 home games per team) Norwood get 0,8 home games per team and Mavs & Centrals both 0.5.
For all the who ha, Eagles feature in 35 of 51 of the scheduled games at Wayville (69%) and enjoy 1.35 home games per team. Sturt feature in 44 of 58 games at Pasadena (76%) and enjoy 1.69 home games per team.
Looking at it, you would argue that Southern and Sturt enjoy a good number of home games per team and the clubs kicking against the breeze are Mavs, Centrals, and Norwood. Eagles are middle of the road.


It would be a logistical nightmare. 192 teams each with a min. of 4 games means 384 minor round games + finals.
Probably around 420 - 440 games all up?
Expect the stadiums will be run non-stop and the only ones used with be the usual BSA stadiums
Am I correct in assuming that MARS, Starplex and MBRC won't get used as BSA have to pay court hire? Whereas, Wayville, Pasadena, Morphett Vale are considered "rent free" or "rent already paid for"?

I spoke to BSA today, there were issues with 2 clashes so that was redrafted and it will be out before 12pm (noon) tomorrow

LOL,
The cynic in me says "Expect a dream run for the Eagles teams"
The realist in me say, "BSA has sufficient integrity to ensure that the draw is balanced and no club is disadvantaged (except Mavs and Lions)"
