Looking at the SoS for all teams shows some interesting things.
After Round 8 Melbourne has faced the hardest teams with their combined opponents having won 31 games. Geelong have so far faced the weakest with their opponents having won only 17 1/2 games.
From hardest to weakest
Melbourne 31 wins
Essendon 30 wins
Sydney 28 wins
Richmond 28 wins
St. Kilda 27 1/2 wins
Fremantle 26 wins
Brisbane 25 1/2 wins
Port 25 1/2 wins
----------------------
Adelaide 25 wins
West Coast 25 wins
North Melbourne 24 wins
Collingwood 22 wins
Hawthorn 19 wins
Western Bulldogs 19 wins
Carlton 18 1/2 wins
Geelong 17 1/2 wins
The SoS at the time the game is played evens things out. This is the amount of wins a team has when your team comes up against them. For example none of Hawthorns wins count against Melbourne's tally as they had not won a game when they played in round one.
Again from hardest to weakest.
Sydney 14 1/2 wins
Richmond 14 wins
Brisbane 12 wins
North Melbourne 12 wins
Hawthorn 11 1/2 wins
Collingwood 11 wins
St. Kilda 10 1/2 wins
Western Bulldogs 10 1/2 wins
---------------------
Essendon 10 wins
Fremantle 10 wins
Geelong 10 wins
Adelaide 9 1/2 wins
West Coast 8 1/2 wins
Melbourne 8 wins
Port 8 wins
Carlton 7 wins
