Think Tank Sydney fc- The bastard child of the AFL.

How many favours can the AFL do for Sydney in one lifetime?
They have cheated their way into the finals and have a shite team.

Sydney, but I'll throw in Carlton and Geelong for good measure.

The trio are the umpires pets and they all get good draws handed out to them every year.

Yep, the competition is flawed.

Apologies for the intrusion but Carlton getting luck with draws...?

2019 - Carlton after finishing last in 2018 (with only 2 wins!!!) had a more difficult draw (based on Champion data rankings) than Richmond who made a prelim plus six other teams
2020 - Carlton's fixture was ranked 6th hardest despite finishing 16th in 2019, and this was harder than 7/8 of the top 8 teams from 2019
2021 - Carlton's fixture was again ranked as the 6th hardest despite finishing 11th (7-10 record) in 2020, and this was more difficult than 5 of the top 10 teams from 2020
2022 - Carlton's fixture was ranked the easiest of the comp (thanks to the fact they finished 13th which puts them in the bottom 6 group for "weighted" fixturing) but it ended up being far from that due to the significant improvement of 3/5 of their double-up opponents who all missed finals in 2021 (Pies, Dockers and Tigers). Carlton ended up playing 11/22 games against the top 8 (only Giants, Saints and Bombers played more with 12).

He's a bit sensitive about teams that are better than Richmond, you'll have to forgive him

The AFL is number 40 and player 71 is every team except Sydney
