Now that the Australian Football League has released the remainder of its 2020 schedule, it is time to think about finals. While Geelong has not clinched a finals berth just yet, they are currently third and hold the tiebreaker over any other finals contender. Except for the travel, the remaining schedule is not particularly challenging. Only the Sept. 11 tilt with fifth place Richmond should provide a challenge.
The biggest challenge is the travel for the ten Victorian based clubs. With Victoria virtually sealed off, these clubs play three games in two weeks at a non-Victorian location, rinse and repeat. While this is hard on the Cats, their next three opponents are in the same boat. Only the Sydney Swans will have a home state, but not necessarily home field advantage.
Only the Adelaide Crows have been eliminated from the finals, but Sydney and North Melbourne should be eliminated by the end of the month.
