3. Defining Period

We will know pretty early where the Eagles are in the competition - they play a number of teams from the the fop four in 2020 and teams vying for the double chance this season. Round 2 they travel to play the Dogs in an early test for their ability to win away from home.

That is followed by hosting Port Adelaide before a trip back to Marvel Stadium to play St Kilda. Revenge will be on the mind in Round 5 when they face the Pies at home before a trip to Geelong followed by the derby. It's a busy start!
