Number of points needed to make the league finals the last few years

[twohands!!!]

I was looking back at the period 2009 to 2016 and what were the minimum points that would have been needed to make finals i.e  assuming there was no semi-finals, what did the side who finished 2nd in the league end up on.

2016 10
2015 9
2014 9 (not all sides on 9 points would have qualified for the finals)
2013 10
2012 9
2011 10
2010 10 (not all sides on 10 points would have qualified for the finals)
2009 9 (not all sides on 9 points would have qualified for the finals)

From this the odds of Mayo winning the league have taken a sizable hit tonight.

They were never going to make a serious attempt at the league when AOS was off fluting about playing basketball anyways.

There's a method in that madness. He'll learn to be aware of teammates around him, something that's severely lacking in his game.

Don't be worrying your good self about qualifying for a League final where the eventual qualifiers will get steamrolled by Dublin playing the final at home. And that includes Kerry and Mayo in that! The only team that could possibly (because of the age profile of their squad) is Tyrone.  There will be teams bending over backwards not to qualify for the final once Division One status is assured!
