also follows that the teams at the bottom of the middle pack (crows, gold coast, north melb) will also look like they have easier draws than they actually do.
I think if you changed the ranking system so that it was something like +1 for a team in the top 6, 0 for a team in the middle 6, and -1 for a team in the bottom 6 you might get a better weighting in terms of the draw difficulty

Disagree, don't think it shows bias at all given every side receives a points ranking based on sides position from the season before.
Obviously someone who finished near the bottom would appear to have a tougher draw, because you wouldn't consider them to have the ability to win those games anyway.

You don't smoke and have a job. By Port standards you ARE a nerd.

Do you think port can maintain this for the rest of the season??? I personally think they can and if they do will go very deep into september... especially if you can secure a home final.
