Look, I understand why the AFL gives the previous year's bottom clubs an easier draw (sort of), but the crows finished just outside the 8 in 2014. In fact, had Sydney beaten Richmond and Gold Coast beaten West Coast in round 23 they'd have finished in the 8. Going by the fixture handed to them this year you'd think they'd collected the last 4 wooden spoons.
One trip to Perth against the weaker of the two Perth teams, Hawks and Freo at home, and they don't play Sydney until Round 18 (At which point we've already played them twice).

On the draw, what a joke that even though the AFL was asked by broadcasters for more Friday night Port games that they still couldn't achieve it - apparently due to difficulties in the draw - I assume the difficulty was telling Carlton and Collingwood they would get less.
