Hypothetical.
So Freo win this one and are 9 zip then only win 3 of the next 13 and finish 8th after having key players (Fyfe, Mundy et al) injured for many weeks, its a year crueled by injury.
So who would you rate as having the better year Freo circa 2015 or Richmond Circa 2014. They ought to rate the same but I bet most people would think Freo because they were a chance vs we just struggled in.
