Noddy, although I agree with your sentiment. I think you are missing some nuances of the draw and the only example I wish to offer up is North Melbourne.
The Roos played very well against us, and the eGulls. What they dished up to Hawthorn, though, was awful. I would have liked to have played them when they were awful.
Since we have hit our straps, after the inglorious start to the year, we've played well. We haven't demolished sides but I'd argue that the teams we played would not have been demolished by any other club at that point in time.
Happy to be argued against.
