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: Gold Coast, Essendon, Richmond, Western Bulldogs, Port Adelaide
Why it's difficult: Brisbane's pre-bye rounds are quite tough, as they face the Dogs, Power, Swans, Crows, Hawks and Pies before their week off in round 11.
Why it's easy: The Lions have a soft draw to start the season, facing Gold Coast, Essendon, St Kilda and Richmond in their opening month.
