What's most impressive/concerning about this is the amount of games played against teams in the top 8. Port played the most and have been very successful (although it is noted that this has come out the week Crows slip out of the 8
). Geelong having only played 5 games suggests maybe they aren't the big smokey the media is making them out to be. Brisbane haven't had too much exposure to top teams either. St Kilda struggling from minimal games against top teams. And it looks likes Richmond's and Essendon's charge is coming at expense of weaker teams.
