You can see it really clearly if you swing the AFL ladder on footywire to results against the top 8.
Of the current top 8, the Bombers have played just 5 games (the join lowest along with Freo). In comparison we have played 11 times against the current top 8.
The Bombers have won 1 and lost 4 of those games with a % of 70.3%. Only 2 teams are worse this season against the current top 8, us 1 win, 10 losses, % of 64.7% and North 0 wins, 10 losses at 57%.
Compare that to the bottom 8, Bombers have played them 12 times (next most is 10 times), for 8 wins, 3 losses and a draw and a % of 106%, but this is the 5th worset % against the bottom 8.
Frankly they are crap, most people could see it, but their draw papered over the cracks.
