Marcus,

You can only beat the teams you're up against and win with the rules you play by. Despite saying that Brisbane haven't won the Minor-premiership, that doesn't mean that they weren't still the best team in each of those 3 winning years. I think they were, but it's just that they weren't a totally dominant team all season long like Essendon in 2000 or Carlton in 1995.

And you're right. If we had a Soccer system of first past the post, we don't know that Port would have actually won the last 3 years. By the way, I'm damn glad we don't have that system. How BORING not having finals!!!
