So in your mind, back to back is a more impressive achievement than winning 158 of 200 games? (which include finals)
The reason I ask is because back to back premierships has been done roughly 20 times (maybe more, I won't look it up).
While Geelongs W/L record has been done once (by Geelong).
It's a more valid and sought-after achievement. Hawthorn made 8 Grand Finals in 9 years for 5 premierships without a win-loss rate of 158 out of 200 games so clearly it doesn't mean as much as you think it does. This record win rate over 200 games was promoted earlier in the year when Geelong had won just one of their past 5 finals, now 1 of 6, so it just highlights the importance of playing well in finals over home and away games.
