How is the point moot? What point have I even made? That we squared the ledger means nothing - we and the Bulldogs were probably the two most inconsistent teams in the competition. Our good is as good as anyone's, it just only showed up a few times this season. We have 3 standout wins this year: Bulldogs, Geelong and West Coast. We have three huge losses to West Coast, Melbourne and Geelong, as well as two pretty poor showings against the Giants and the Dockers. The rest were meh results.the Melb game was after 4 games in 14 days.
And in each of the others we beat the same team during the year.
So your point is moot.
There's no way to quantify things like our condensed travel-heavy fixture. No one team nor player would respond the same. I know people have held the resort thing against the players, but I don't know if that's fair. Reasonable to expect disrupted results in a disrupted season.
What isn't reasonable is for our best to be 10 goals off our worst, and to see both in a 7 day period is even less reasonable, nor excusable
