Freo fans have every right to feel annoyed.
Regardless of how a team performed the year before, every team starts with a chance to wint the cup. The fact they have NO games at the MCG, (where the majority of Melb teams play their home finals) is ludicrously unfair. We know its unlikely, but Andy has effectively said, 'who cares, you guys wont make finals anyway.'
Very poor form AFL. I hope the Dockers make the finals as the press will latch onto this and the AFL will have serious egg on their faces.
As for the Pies fans, yes it sells papers to whine about you, BUT to say you haven't got a favourable draw is pure denial. Hawthorn have a great draw, happy to admit it, but having your FINAL SEVEN GAMES at the G is a monstrous advantage and a dream preperation for the finals. (Should they make it)
