"Again" what? I haven't read a single reply in this thread, let alone anything you've said.Again.... the cold hard win and loss record only tells you certain amount of stats.
Saints lost a few close games this season. Could easily be 10 wins and 6 losses and inside the top 8.
The title just caught my eye... "no man's land" seemed quite apt in the case of St Kilda as I watched them knock off the top side. Your point that they could be 10/6 supports the reason 'no man's land' resonated with me as being applicable.
