With the opening round of the 2017 AFL season just two weeks away now, we've decided to break down each side's draw and check in with our old friends at Champion Data to see how tough they rate each club's fixture list.
Starting with the club with the easiest draw in the competition, here are all 18 clubs and how their fixtures rate against the other sides.

Who they play twice: Adelaide, Geelong, Collingwood, Sydney, Gold Coast
Why it's difficult: The Hawks play three finallists from 2016 twice (Adelaide, Geelong and Sydney), while a round 23 clash with the Dogs could have huge implications.
Why it's easy: They start their season with eight of their opening nine matches at either the MCG or in Launceston.
