100%. I was just thinking of 2017. The worst finals series in history. It’s being easy for the OP to show recent bias and talk bout how bad this season is and disregard the rest.I would say that 2017 was the weakest year, just so many bad standard, low-scoring games, one on top of another culminating in a terrible finals series of inconsistent form and one-sided, low standard finals.
Apart from the bottom 2, the season is so tight. Actually there are shades of 1993 where 4th bottom could end up winning just short of 50% of matches.
Also the OP mentioned 2020. Any season that should have an asterisk is that one. Shortened quarters, no crowds, short break, less games, it was nothing more than a glorified lightening premiership.
