No they didn't & Yeah you do. North never played in the same state 2 weeks running until round 13.
No other team cops that.
Out of the bottom 10 Teams North played Essendon twice, Western Bulldogs twice, Gold Coast twice & GWS twice. That's a better draw than the crows and if they sell their second from three home games to start off the season to another state then you can't complain about traveling. They also played 14 out of 23 games in Melbourne. Damn cop that poor North Melbourne...
You totally missed the point. Never mentioned the crows (but you did, good on you). If the games we sold weren't mostly in the same block as most of our other travelling early in the year, I would never have mentioned the point.
Hell we got beaten 3 times by 2 points this year by ess, pa and wc. (weren't good enough)
The crows beat syd, stk and ess by less than a kick.
Reverse these results (and richmond would buy into this) and peoples perceptions of the draw change.
You make your own luck and the crows have done this.
Sooner or later it runs out though.
