Which means nothing really in the scheme of things except that they will probably beat Essendon.
means Richmond have been gifted the easiest draw ever for a reigning premier.
oh Benny.. Have you even looked into the reasoning behind the "easiest" draw ever?
We have our annual season opener v Carlton, then our annual ANZAC eve clash with Melbourne which is always followed with a return game v Collingwood due to the similar days break turnaround. We also have our Annual Dreamtime game v Essendon this round which ruled out playing them early in the season.
Is it our fault that 3 of the above 4 didn't make finals last year? If they all had we still would have played them all in the first few rounds. We've had two interstate trips against finalists from last year outside of that.
As the ladder currently sits we've also played 5 of the other 7 teams in the top 8.
As Spargo said have a look at our run home its filled with finalists from last year.
