Opinion Adelaide 2023 vs North Melbourne 2013?

[imagifED]

Arguably the two best and most unlucky teams to miss finals.

Adelaide 2023:
Hardest draw.
Best record against top 4.
2nd highest points for. Could be highest after this final round.

Please suggest other teams. Carlton 2022, Melbourne 2017??? Discuss.

So we are talkng about sides that narrowly missed out on finals?

Well you want to win this week for a start and hope GWS lose.

As this thread would be fairly ill-advised come Monday if it is about a side that missed the finals by 3 wins.

Having said that, you were extremely unlucky on the weekend. And have had a few close losses to good sides. But this doesn't feel like a year where a team has somehow managed to scrape into finals. There isn't anyone currently in the 8 I'd have below you. I think that is the most important measuring stick.

Richmond won three flags after 35 years of abject failure.
dit it during multiple compromised drafts.
why?
because we nailed our rookie picks.
what’s good for the goose…
