Champion Data has ranked all 18 AFL teams by the difficulty of their 2020 fixture, with the Dockers, Swans, Dees and Crows the big winners.
Fremantle and Adelaide go into the season with new coaches, while Melbourne and Sydney slipped further down the ladder than any other sides in 2019.
Up the other end, West Coast and Hawthorn boast the toughest fixtures, while bottom three teams Gold Coast and Carlton also somehow find themselves among the six toughest draws.
Brisbane and the Western Bulldogs have been granted the easiest fixtures of last year’s top eight teams, ranked 12th and 13th respectively.
