Best 9th placed team since 2000

Not including Bombers 2013 for obvious reasons

Where’s Richmond in 9th, that’s like their personal spot on the ladder

 

[SBYM]

Obviously Carlton 2013, was better than the team that finished sixth.

I think you may find North holds that title, but if it's another trophy you want us to have then fine.

Obviously the 2013 Carlton side
Only 9th place team to win a final.

Certainly not whoever it was this year. A battle for draft order that was.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Us in 2017. Beat the sides in 1st, 5th, 7th and 8th. Lost 5 games by under 14 points. Major injuries to basically all of our key players. Have now back up 2017 with a prelim in 2018, and 9th placed in 2020 (feat. no bye unlike every team bar Essendon, and having to play in Perth, Alice and Cairns while everyone else got to chill in the hubs) with a flag.

Saints 2012

Lost some tight ones, including one late in the season against Collingwood at the G with some questionable umpiring. Lost 2 tight games in Adelaide.

Probably were the 5th or 6th best team that year but found a way to miss finals.

They were not 9th cause 8th were cheats

Port Adelaide finished 8th on the ladder in 2013, what did they do that was so heinous?

Didn't hear about why Angus Monfries got suspended?

5th or 6th best team that won only one game for the season against the top 8? Yeah ok.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

How can people possibly rate St Kilda 2012 as the best on this list? 7 of their 12 wins that year came against the bottom four sides (Dogs, Dees, Suns, GWS), three of whom were catastrophically bad. Fittingly the 2012 Saints joined those four sides in the bottom five in 2013 when they finished 16th.
