The idea of a 100% 'fair' draw is a misnomer as there is too many moving parts (and money involved) for it to happen.
The closest we can get i believe is the current system that runs with the current 17 games and then the 5 in your bracket.
The catch is that the 17 games run on a 2 years cycle - that is that everyone hosts everyone else at least once over those 2 years.
If for example we hosted the lions at etihad next year then in 2020 the 'return 17' game would have to be in brisbane. And then alternate it accordingly for all clubs.
