The Drawn Out Battle for Pride In professional sports, a draw can be a difficult pill to swallow, especially when it's your second against the same opponent in one season.
The Hawthorn Hawks and Collingwood Magpies' match at the MCG on Saturday was no exception. The AFL's draw system has been a subject of debate among fans and coaches for years.
