How do we get the 7 yh hardest draw
We finished the other end of the ladder

The Fox method is flawed as it only calculates percentage.

Yeah percentage was bottom 4 from memory we were only better then north eagles and Richmond

hope the draw is the wake up call we needed for the future. tough season might be due but it may whip everyone into shape

The inequity of the fixture is a massive integrity issue for fairness in our game. Comparing the Blues fixture to ours you’d think we’d finished top 4 and them bottom 4. They have North and WC twice, Brissy once but a Blues home game, Swans once, Giants once but a Blues home game, zero (!) five-day breaks (Richmond and Essendon are the only clubs with 2 for the season), don’t have to travel for their first 7 games, and a run-in to finish the season that sees them at the MCG for 7 of their last 8 games.

Even the most one-eyed Blues supporter would see this as the cushiest fixture you’ll ever get as a top 4 quality team. Staggering.

Because it's a FIXture, not a draw. A draw would imply randomness. There's nothing random about the AFL.

 

[outersanctum]

Until we extend season or play in divisions the FIXture will always be a problem.

What is difficult to comprehend is why EFC is so often in the 'unexpectedly more difficult' pile. Very rare that we get the easy draw ratings. Don't think it will matter much. Season 2025 is likely to be a bloodbath either way.
