Peaking too soon

I was looking back at the season.

Absolute heart-attack areas for your mob re margins

+5 v suns, -4 v port, -7 v dockers, +2 v pies, -2 v giants, +1 v lions, +4 v crows, -4 v carlton in regular season, and with superior percentage needed only 1 more win to finish second.

Then finals -7 v pies, -2 v carlton

Yeah that was the game style doing that i think

Yes according to this, vast majority flags won from positions 1-3. Interesting nil from 4th

Although that is final ladder most premiers have been moving within these positions for a large chunk of the year. Even the slow starters have maneuvered themselves into the top 4 by about the midway point of the season.

The fact is there is always going to be 1 or 2 fast starters who don't win the flag.
