We knew this at the start of the year. Most media outlets who rated the draw at the start of the year had us either first or only just below first place.Not sure where to post this or if it's been done before, but I thought I'd look into the final draw difficulty in terms of which teams were played twice. Lots said on this throughout the year already, but here is the actual result (have assigned points as per the ladder position of the opposition played twice - so lowest number means harder drawer):
North Melbourne - 25
Syd - 30
Freo - 37
Hawks - 39
Crows - 42
GWS - 44
Richmond - 44
Lions - 47
Braves - 47
Demons - 49
Port - 50
Pies - 51
Cats - 51
WC - 53
Dons - 53
Blues - 57
Saints - 58
GC - 66
Food for thought...
People saw our form the first couple weeks and our easyish start and just assumed we had a soft draw.
