I'm not so sure about that. Both have gotten close to us over the last couple of seasons when we've either been smashed with injuries, or rested players. As they improve, we'll be less likely to rest players, but can definitely see it happening.
Then you couple that with the home ground advantage that Adelaide, West Coast and Freo can enjoy, without looking at the draw, they could easily last longer than us.
Essendon only just kept there clean record in tact this year too, we trailed both of them in the last quarter but managed to sneak over the line. I think Freo were lucky to beat the Suns a couple of years ago as well.
