To better compare I just did a simple point system, 5 for first in a stat and 1 for last, etc...

2017: Total 43pts - 22 Off - 21 Def
2014: Total 38pts - 19 Off - 19 Def
2013: Total 28pts - 15 Off - 13 Def
2016: Total 22pts - 7 Off - 15 Def
2015: Total 19pts - 12 Off - 7 Def

This isnt some moral victory post, most here dont believe in those, but this is a positive sign to be optimistic for the direction we are heading.
