In 24 of the last 28 years, a team who missed the finals has finished top-4 the next year. 33 teams in total over 28 years. Who will it be?

Half way through the year now. Port look like this years team to finish top-4 (who missed the finals last year). Although this time last year, Carlton looked like being the top-4 team, while Collingwood was 7-5 and looked no chance. Then, the Pies won 12 of their last 13 games. Could Brisbane fall out like last year, and could the Saints, Bombers, Crows, or Suns make a run?

Looking like Port this year. But they were also top 4 in 2020 and 2021 too, missed the finals in 2022 but are back in 2023.

Crazy that two teams did make a similar run of wins, and it was none of the four you mentioned.

Doggies my tip for next year.

It would be Port. Carlton and GWS don’t count. If they did, it would then mean Bris didn’t finish top 4 in 2019 after missing the 8 in 2018. It confuses the criteria by taking finals performances into account.

Freo in 2024 right?

Low expectations, coming off a bad year, no incoming saviours from outlandish trades - this is a prime Freo good year in the making!
