The frustrations of being a Geelong supporter, being a much better side than 4 sides in front of you on the ladder but the draw screwing us.

Geelong have also only played 7 out of 17 against the current top eight and only play 10 of their 22 games against the top 8.

How is this a bad draw again?

Crows played well to kill this game off, and then the last 15 minutes is some of the worst footy you will see

Houli was on Freo. 3 questionable efforts in the last half from him, B Grade Park League footballer could have done better.

Geelong only play Melbourne once.

Didn't think my point was too hard to work out but I'll explain it.

Geelong play the 2 grand finalists from last year twice and the 6th side twice. ( 1 non finalist twice)
GWS play 1 grand finalist twice and the other sides were out of the 8. (4 non finalist twice)
Western Bulldogs play 1 finalist from last year twice. (4 non finalists twice)
Crows play 1 finalist from last year twice. (3 non finalists twice) (and Port have dropped in standard and only through the Cats feeling sorry for the Crows does it mean they'll not play the Cats twice)
Collingwood play 2 finalists from last year twice (Richmond and Geelong) 3 non finalists twice

At the end of the day none of those sides have a chance of the premiership but my point is its sad the Finals will be artificially be made up due to a skewed draw.

Its frustrating that several teams Geelong are comfortably better than over the season will finish in front of them. That's also been impacted upon by Geelong's mercy to the Crows as mentioned before. It frustrates me much more as a logical thinker and footy lover than Geelong supporter.

My point is, it'd be nice to have a draw similar to the EPL so we could have a fairer representation of where sides were at for the year with the end of year ladder.

Common sense I would have thought?
