I disagree.
1. Carlton were one game from being top 4 with 17-18 wins from memory, and they've fallen away a little. But they have more than enough superstars to win a flag.
2. Richmond are only starting to come good, again they have more than enough stars to head up a GF in the next few years.
3. Melbourne made some horrible decisions, had they got the trades and decisions right, they may not be in the mess they are in.
4. Essendon should make a huge shot at a GF in the next few years.
4. North Melbourne have a pretty good list. I'd expect them to be contenders in the next few years.
5. Sides like Geelong and Hawthorn and Collingwood have earnt their spots through years of hard work and team rebuilding.
You've also included a very small sample size of a mere 4 years. Extend it over 10-15 years and you might get a better reflection of the state of the AFL.
Well the sample space is only so small. When it takes 9 years for every club to play in the Prelim, and we have 5 years for 9 clubs to do it.
