- Carlton in 2000, followed up a 13-game winning streak with 3 losses on the bounce.
- Essendon lost to the Dogs in 2000 after 20 in a row, then almost coughed up the following game to lowly Collingwood.
- Geelong in 2009, lost to the Saints in that classic round 14 game after being 13-0 to start the season, then to Brisbane the following week.
- St Kilda began the same season 19-0 before going down to the Bombers and Roos in consecutive weeks.
They are examples off the top of my head and all happened to very competent football teams. I like your thinking HM
its almost like with each win the momentum builds and builds, the bubble they are in gets stronger and stronger, then finally the bubble bursts and it just oozes out every where.. the pressure is released, there is an ineveitable lull.
