Going by these figures it's slightly more likely you play finals the next year if you finish 7th than if you finish 5th. 11 out of 21 for 7th and 10 out of 21 for 5th. Must depend on whether you're on the upward or downward cycle I guess.....(except if you are Hawthorn .....they only seem to have one trajectory....As said on the Couldabeens a week or two ago, Hawks supporters have followed their team through Thick......)

Injuries will be the greatest factor in affecting the teams that finished 5th to 12th this season as any of them can make the top 8 with a good run if they keep their top 10 fit and on the field for most of the upcoming season.
New players take 3 or 4 seasons to have a significant impact and delisted players usually don't hurt a side too much, and it is tough to recruit more than one "star" player each pre-season that will have an immediate impact.

Thanks Dane. Interesting how it happened 2 years in a row and the Pies missed out on 2000.
Dees moved from spoon to top 4 in Neale Daniher's first year in 1998, and the same with Brisbane when Lethal took over in 1999.
Let's hope it doesn't happen for the Blooze with Brendan Bolton's first season in 2016.
