Melbourne really are a long way better than every other side at the moment; it's ridiculous. They've always had that amazing ability to get themselves up for every game and put in something near their best performance every week - certainly to an extent that far exceeded every other side anyway - but in past years I've often questioned their overall quality at maximum capacity and therefore hypothesised that they might not do as well in the finals as they do in the regular season. They appear to have both this year though.
