I really couldn’t give a phuq about the Tigers, Knights or anyone else, other than the Sharks. But I do believe they have to make it as fair as possible for all. It’s currently a joke.

Unfortunately it's impossible to have a fair draw unless it's like the old days where you play everyone twice. That will never happen again.

The AFL only have 5 return fixtures these days, but they have finally got it close to right, they choose their return fixtures based on finishing position

Top six: Clubs ranked 1-6 on the 2015 ladder will have a minimum of two and maximum of three return meetings with other top six clubs. They will have a minimum of one and maximum of two return meetings with clubs ranked 7-12. They will have either no return meetings or a maximum of one return meeting with clubs ranked 13-18.

  • Middle six: Clubs ranked 7-12 on the 2015 ladder will have a minimum of one and maximum of two return meetings with clubs ranked 1-6 on the ladder. They will have a minimum of two and maximum of three return meetings with other middle six clubs. They will have a minimum of one and maximum of two return meetings with clubs ranked 13-18.
  • Bottom six: Clubs ranked 13-18 on the 2015 ladder will have either no return meeting or a maximum of one return meeting with clubs ranked 1-6. They will have a minimum of one or a maximum of two return meetings with clubs ranked 7-12. They will have a minimum of two and a maximum of three return meetings with other bottom six clubs.

The other thing the AFL does well is there are no 5 day turnarounds. Can't believe we still can't eliminate them from the NRL.
