Those millions they spend on equalisation really do seem to be paying off![]()
Equalisation doesnt mean there won't be blowouts, it's the nature of a high scoring game. It means more of the teams will be competitive and the same teams wont win every year, aka the storm. So far this year we have StKilda, Fremantle, Essendon, Goldcoast and Port in the top 8, all of whom missed the finals last year. Hawthorn, Melbourne, Sydney and West coast are outside the 8 despite making the 8 last year.
In the NRL only the top 9 teams have won half their games or more. In the AFL the top 13 clubs have won half their games or better. So far the AFL is a more even competition.
