Statistics for the flag?

Just a statistic for contemplation:

Premiership Winners Position on Ladder after 10 rounds.

1989[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Hawthorn 1st one game clear 1990[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Collingwood 4th equal number wins as top side
1991[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Hawthorn 3rd 3 wins off top side
1992[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]West Coast 8th 2 wins off top side
1993[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Essendon 5th 2 wins off top side

2005[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Sydney 9th 4 wins off top side
2006[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]West Coast 1st one game clear

Now does this mean we are well placed to make a charge for the unmentionable?
Or on the other hand, do you notice that none of the above premiers came from 2nd after ten rounds?
Maybe it cant be done from 2nd, then again maybe it is due.
As usual, stats can be interpreted anyway you like.
My point is: Forget the past because it is the past. Sit back and enjoy the ride as a new group of potential stars attempt to carve out a bright future.
Perhaps one day people will talk about the culture that this group created.

What does this all mean?

Absolutely no idea.
Maybe that we are better off finishing 5th than 2nd

Cliche city here we come.
I think it is just a convoluted comment on the "Keep a lid on it" / "Enjoy the ride" argument.
Maybe we could enjoy the ride, but just one day at a time?

Yes,so true. . Must admit that even when he went to Richmond I still loved watching him play. At least he got to play in a premiership.
