You're exactly right, and even less so is a loss.
Better than means you can perform consistently and win more games than you lose, as well as majority of losses being respectable. There are sides out of the 3 you mentioned who are definitely better than each other, as evidenced by a team such as the bulldogs, ranked 4th, having 6 more wins and 6 less losses than the 13th ranked saints. West coast fans more than know how quickly things can turn, look at 2012-2013, difference now being our consistent performers aren't on the verge of retirement and propping up the younger less consistent players, we now have a far more even spread of contributors, many of whom have not even reached their peak yet. How did you arrive at the conclusion that we have a "bottom 4 reward draw"? We finished in the top half of the ladder last year, and as it stands we play 1st place twice, 4th place twice, equal 8th but 9th by 0.1% twice (who more than likely will be 8th after this round, or even as high as 6th) and then 13th and 16th twice. Your mob plays 1st, 6th, 11th, 15th and 17th twice. I know which draw I would prefer.Are you 12 or suffer from a case of a total lack of confidence ? I ask not to be smart but to understand your view point. What nonsense is "better than". There is no better outside of three sides, Hawks, Freo and Swans who have had a stranglehold of top 4 and flags in recent years, they are better, but outside of that, no side really from 4th to 13th is better then each other.
By focusing on "better" it screams insecurity. My club is tracking well, young squad and soon, I hope a third consecutive finals appearance a feat not many clubs have done. You must be also stoked as you have managed injuries well and are having a good year.
We can go around in circles all day. You beat us, we beat freo and hawks so you must be "better" then both those sides as you beat us
Bottom line, most go of recent form, say the last 3 times you have met. In that bracket, we have shown we can beat any of the top 4 more often then not. WC twice, Freo Twice. Hawks twice and Sydney twice. Does that make WC a inferior side because you cant claim the same ? Nope, you guys are having a good year but just talk to a port fan in how quickly that can turn. Who knows if your form is in some part based on your bottom 4 reward draw ? IMO next season will tell us a lot by a lot of sides imo
