Some years have more easier games than others. In 2012 you could pretty much pencil in a 80+ point win over GWS, GC and Melbourne. WB and Port didn't make it past 5 wins either. In 2013 there were only three teams that won five or less games. This year should be even more even since GWS have finally gotten things together.
