Div 3-5 would be fair but AV came from Div 7 and got pumped by 40 goals most weeks in their first season out.
To Angle Vale's defence, they lost probably their best half a dozen players at least moving to the APFL.
Angle Vale would be competitive in Div 7, Hamley near the bottom.
United and Hummocks mid 4's upper 5's.
It is a bit of comparing apples to oranges though, especially like how you pointed out that both teams beat the stronger sides throughout the season.
