Unless you’re talking a materially different pick, eg 4th instead of 10th, I don’t see a world where making finals isn’t a mile better than finishing just on the cusp.

Hell yeah. And gaining experience aside, some team is absolutely going to string together a perfect month of footy and win a flag from 8th one season. If the rest of the comp are tiring, and we unleash a fresh Shuey, Yeo and Rioli late in the year... ok, it's still pretty unlikely. But not wanting to make finals and at least have a crack is for loser clubs.

It’s all about the time of the game they’re paid. The umpires always pay us heaps of kicks early, that always result in goals, and then give the oppo free kicks in the back line at the end of the game to even the numbers up. Crafty devils, they just wanna have a beer with Coxy and the boys at the wedding and not worry about free kick numbers

Imagine how much more lopsided the Tigers would be if they got pinged for incorrectly disposing of the footy.

Re Brisbane, we had (as of round 4/5) the two most penalised players in the comp: Zorko who gives away stupid free kicks all the time, and Zac Bailey who has been caught HTB quite a bit (at least once per game) trying to do too much. Those two cleaning up their act would probably put us back where the Saints/Geelong are.
