Interesting in that 1996 with Adelaide being schizophrenic - Hawthorn scraped into the finals with a 98.5% but there were 3 teams outside the top 8 with a % above 100, including Richmond who could only go 11-11 despite racking up a percentage of 117!
I noticed this.
Adelaide 1996
Melbourne 2011
W.C 2000
Sydney 1987
All had a relatively even record, but such contrasting score lines. I think Melbourne losing by 180 odd points in one game had something to do with it.
