Your form isn't better than St Kilda's.
In the last month Essendon have been belted by Carlton and Collingwood. They could've quite easily lost to Sydney and they beat the Bulldogs who are absolutely gone. And even before that, against a soulless Adelaide, you were being put to the sword until the Crowbots decided that kicking to a target was for chumps*.
In short, your form hasn't been as good as sitting in the 8 suggests.
*The coach was sacked/walked days later.

We Beat Geelong, Beat Adelaide at home which Geelong just barely managed to do. Up by 5 goals against the Pies until three match injuries started to limit our rotations (doubt we would of won but we wouldn't of lost by the margin we did). Funnily enough Hawthorn is really the only team i think we have no chance against.
You could look at our form in multiple ways. I think we sit perfectly to where we are at. (perhaps 6th)
