Big *en deal. As already mentioned, most teams have far better records at home than they do away. This year they've gone to play powerhouse clubs at powerhouse venues. Even eventual premiers or going to be premiers cop hammerings like the hawks in 2013 to Richmond, Hawks in 15 to Port who didn't make the 8 and Richmond again. The Eagles in 92 and 94 { twice to the hawks } copped floggings as they did in 2006 losing twice to Freo ( one was by 60+ the other close } Port who didn't make the 8 and the Pies away.
Our only loss in 2008 before losing to the hawks was a hit and run by Collingwood by about 80 odd points. Early on in 2010 Collingwood themselves were beaten by us and the Saints, Grand Finalists the year before. Yet what happened later on in the return games and finals.
Games here and there. Big whoop. Judge them in September. They'll be amongst it.
