On the surface I agree with you. If the current Status quo remains.... it looks set. Still we not quite half way through home & away. Lot's of water to pass beneath the bridge. Blight used to say it back in the day...."this thing is a marathon, not a sprint". Bad injuries (season enders) tip the balance big time. Look at Freo, decimated and can't get a win. Though I reckon they will this week. Imagine if say at the Swans - Hannebury or Parker go down? What about North - loose a big bloke up forward? Crows were to loose Talia or Sloane? Every club needs that touch of luck. I've not gone through the remaining games to try and sort it, but I don't discount Melbourne, or if they can get their shyte together Port sneaking in. Carlton percentage is very poor, so not so much them. Makes for an interesting season....
