As we count down to the finals, it is interesting to see who is in form and who has gone off the boil leading into the Legendairy VFL Final Series.
On the current form over the last five rounds for each club, we would be writing about week one of the finals like this:
What a first round of the Legendairy VFL Finals Series it will be this year, with Sandringham and North Ballarat to host home finals and Coburg to play in its first final since 2008.
If only form earned every side a finals berth.
Sandringham is currently on a five game winning streak, and sits on top of the form ladder below, followed closely by North Ballarat on four straight wins. The Roosters will miss the finals this year, but are playing a role in deciding where the top eight teams will finish.
Current top two teams Box Hill Hawks sit in third and fourth on percentage, followed by finals aspirant Coburg. Footscray completes the teams on four wins from the last five games, but sit outside the top four on percentage.
The next grouping of three wins features three clubs that could meet in week one of the finals, with Essendon and Collingwood featuring a percentage advantage over Werribee, who drop to ninth spot.
While North Ballarat has the biggest rise up the form ladder from ninth to second, Casey Scorpions has the biggest drop from eighth to 12th, currently on a four game losing streak that has opened the door for Coburg in the top eight.
At the bottom of the form ladder we find Port Melbourne, Northern Blues and Frankston who have all failed to produce a win in the last five rounds, despite some close results. While the Dolphins are yet to open their account for 2015, Port has the next biggest losing streak having lost seven in a row to drop out of finals contention, while Northern Blues have dropped their last six.
