End of the day Wes Coast won 4 games that year, Freo 2 so you can put forward your hypotheticals about percentage all you like but West Coast still finished 2 games in front of your mob that year
Again same rings true this year, we may only finish one game in front of your record with a worse percentage, but fact of the matter will remain we still finished ahead
WC won 5 games that year.
It was WC supporters that were arguing WC sucked more that year.
Brisbane made the finals in 97 with 10 wins, Fremantle missed out in 04 and 05 with 11, so using your logic we had better seasons?
Possibly, but at a minimum the best 5 seasons by an WA club belong to West Coast. I'd argue that probably the best 10 seasons by a WA club belong to West Coast.
You would easily lose that argument.
