"While ladder positioning and percentage have been helpful, simply looking at a team's win totals from the season prior provides excellent insight for clubs looking to crash the Finals party.
And it appears as though 9-10 wins is that 'sweet spot' constituting 22 of the 55 (40%) teams that made the leap. Here, four teams qualify from last year's ladder with all of St Kilda, Fremantle, North Melbourne and Adelaide fitting the win-profile of a team perhaps on the verge of returning to September."
