Comment:- According to the formula, Darley face a much more difficult draw in 2022 despite a winless 2021 (98 pt draw rating). Only Ballarat and the Lakers face greater degrees of difficulty. Despite the addition of some top end talent and projected improvement of youth, the Devils are coming from a fair way back. A finals berth for the Black and White would be a significant achievement.
