I.e. in 2013 we needed that win to finish 9th against Port Adelaide and take that finals spot.
In most years after 2013 the queue was in the rack. Last year that cost us nothing against gws and we fielded a second string line up. In my recent memory 2022 was the first year we needed to win in round 23 to make finals, and we fell short but missed on percentage against a team that won a flag a year later.
Every other year is effectively irrelevant since 2013.
100%.
For teams outside the 8, its rather simple and this will trend that way.
Until you remove the benefit for losing and at the same time, penalise those for winning, and this is the result you will likely see repeated
ie, tanking.
