How uneven is 2004?

[Minotaur]

The fact that Port are 6-3 with the team they have been putting out on the field proves the comp is very weak this year.

An even comp is one where any team can beat another on any given day. Richomd, Hawthorn, Crows, WB are going to sturggle to beat anyone other than themselves this year. Only marginally better are Swans, Collingwood, Carlton, Kangas and West Coast. A very weak team will make the 8.

ITS ALL COMES DOWN TO MENTAL.

The menatlity of players is the major differencre. To say its fitness or skill is olden days. Sure it plays its part but IMO MENTAL TOUGHNESS is it.

Just look at the winners and losers each week.

Why the hell do people want an equal competition. It's impossible but even if it wasn't why should the competition be artificially levelled? It should be a battle with winners and losers and if you win you take the spoils not have a leg tied so you can't win agina on merit. Having 16 equal team is an impossiblr aim and IMO a stupid one anyway.

No but they shouldn't accept it in the name of draft choices.
