Last year we had the hardest draw of ALL teams other than Essendon and finished on TOP.
We played the Saints, Geelong, Bulldogs and Hawks all twice and still finished on top. The last 7 times we played the other 3 teams that finished in the top 4 (Geelong, AintKilda and Bulldogs) we won 6 and drew one. I think the average winning margin was well over 40 points. The fact is it looks like a dream draw because are good and we win and the poorer clubs BEG the AFL to play Collingwood at the MCG so they can make some money when we drag over 50,000 to a game for their little clubs.
We do get a good draw this year though, we are the only team that doesn't play a team that finished above us ion 2010.
