Settle down mate, I was being satirical (which means that there is indeed an element of truth underpinning).  My point is that the AFL do dole out awful timeslots to the smaller clubs, particularly when they are underperforming on the field, but when Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton, Richmond and Hawthorn have underperformed over the years since North won its last flag (1999) the AFL haven't given them crappy timeslots, in fact they hand them marquee games and premium broadcast free to air time slots. It is ordinary considering that since 1999 Carlton hasn't won a flag at all. Or to put another spin on it, consider that North Melbourne have won more Premierships in the last 50 years than Collingwood.
