Feel like outside of Sydney it's a real year of mediocrity. So much shit footy has been played by every team this year with poor skills and conversion coupled with abysmal umpiring.
This is why I don't think, short of saying you'll win the lot, you just can put a ceiling on where any side can finish anymore. Sydney didn't even earn a finals spot last year, this year world beaters. Outside of one of two teams the difference is increasingly a combination of luck going your way with injuries, fixturing, and umpiring. This year we finally sorted the injuries but somehow still cop the hardest fixture, and being one of the irrelevant clubs the last few years umpires are generally happy help our opponents get the easy win. Fortunes can change incredibly quickly in the sort of environment the AFL has build.
