Lions get a nice leg up from the shoe-horn round in South Australia.
Brisbane v bottom placed North Melbourne.
as against…
Richmond v 2nd placed Sydney Swans.
Just randomly somehow the premier “draws” 2nd bottom Eagles, and Richmond is the only top 9 team to draw a team who finished above them. Swans the only other finalist to draw another finalist, which was necessary to facilitate giving Richmond the toughest draw possible without inconveniencing Geelong.
FMD campaigners are not even trying to hide it.
