It doesnt work that way. The bottom 6 teams are supposed to get an easier draw based on this formula;
Bottom 6 play either none or at most one top 6 team twice.
Play middle 6 teams at most twice or at least once.
Play bottom 6 teams at most 3 times and at least twice.
Based on this we wont be playing Lions, GWS, Demons, Saints and Dogs twice, at most we will play 3 of them twice.
We can still play a top 6 team twice and based on this formula we shouldnt be playing all of Richmond, Collingwood and Essendon twice as these are middle 6 teams and at most we can only play 2 of them twice.
But the AFL will do what it wants and dont hold your breath hoping for an easy draw.
Agree, AFL make business decisions on what games generate more $$$$
