The rest of the year

Posted by Eel team six on May 14, 2017 at 1:43pm

Looking through the draw for the rest of the year, it seems Parra only plays away from ANZ 3 more times including one home game in Darwin. That's gotta be in our favour know ing there's not much left travel and a consistency in where we're playing in more than half a season of footy.

Very good point you make, we also have a good record at ANZ in recent times.

I not sure it good thing. If half of those games were at parra stadium Yes, but anz doesn't hold home advantage as much.
Also away teams are actually having lot success over past 2 years. The routine and bonding of road trips appears help teams a lot. Examples are Canberra actually have better away record past few years as do manly this year. Also seems home advantage % has been dropping across the board. Listening to players they like the bonding and routine of road game. They focused from moment they wake up where at home there are distractions.
The advantages are obviously extra time at home with family and own bed as well asnot losing any recovery time and training which is lost in travel. I just hope some of our players don't get to comfortable and stuff up.

Doesn't mean a thing if they continue to play as they are today.

The trouble is it will be too late. I don't know who put the draw together, but it doesn't do Parra a lot if favours. 2 home games in 10 rounds... Come on!
