Toast 11 Prelims in 22 Seasons

[thebaldfacts]

Great effort, but really need another flag.

Great to see the blues at zero preliminaries in over 20 years.

BUMP.

11th Prelim since 2002.

Prelims = (2002, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023)

Since 2002, this is the number of prelim final appearances for each club:

• Geelong = 13
• Collingwood = 11
• Sydney = 8
• Port Adelaide = 7
• Hawthorn = 6
• Brisbane Lions = 6
• West Coast = 5
• Western Bulldogs = 5
• St Kilda = 5
• Adelaide = 5
• Richmond = 4
• Fremantle = 3
• GWS = 3
• North Melbourne = 3
• Melbourne = 2
• Carlton = 0
• Essendon = 0
• Gold Coast = 0

The club's consistency deserves to be applauded.

Mate, I was thinking about this thread just the other day and pondered "I wonder when it will get bumped"

Here's hoping your "bump" brings us a bit of good fortune in 2023 and our boys bring home the big prize

A prelim every two years: Pies back at the pointy end again

Collingwood is back into the top four, and it's familiar territory for the Magpies this century

Cal Twomey must be a fan of this thread!

That's mad

We’ve been consistently good, but rarely the best. It’s a conundrum of this club.

Issue with being consistent good is you also often lack quality picks to grab those superstars.

Let’s hope we buck the trend this year. But it’s gonna be another tough one.

Aside from 2010 we haven’t been the clear dominant team

 

[Sub_Zero]

this is depressing. Colliwobbles lives on.

Some people like a happily ever after. Personally my favourite is a tragedy. I like that angry, cheated feeling. The pies never fail to disappoint. Love them. Will make an awesome movie one day.

2011 I thought we were even better than 2010.

Freakin’ Podsiadly going down, making Tom Hawkins the main target, combined with Malthouse never having a plan B, we failed miserably that season.

Edit: add to the mix the whole succession plan. Malthouse changing his mind etc. Such division in the club. We were so good that year.

 

[Go Woods]

For one flag, nothing to gloat about....
Need a higher conversion rate....

2010 you could have thrown a blanket over three teams… and we needed a second grand final to eventually get there.

 

[BEEG]

Pretty disappointing to have the 1 flag.

I agree alot of those years we weren't the best team.

Hawthorn get 4 flags from 6 which is unreal.

and Richmond, 3 flags from 4 prelims.

The fact that they are a chance to get into a grannie and a chance to win it in their first genuine final's appearance ( the one due to the cheating Bombers does not count) in twenty years is sickening given this will be our 11th in the same time period. We do find it hard to win flags, but we are always in there giving ourselves a chance.

We can't run away from the raw truth. It's a part of our history and in some strange way adds to the mystique of our glorious club.

We were in 1970 and you know what happened then!

You are lucky. Far less scarring.

 

[stormskye]

You are lucky. Far less scarring.

Yup. But I was also to young to celebrate 1990, so 2010 is all I’ve had

 

[unplugged]

Likewise!

 

[thebaldfacts]

I have the scars from 1970, 1977, 1979, 1981, 2002, 2003, 2011 and 2018.
For me 1990 was the best as it broke the drought, but that didn't stop me celebrating 2010.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Since the new millennium Pies have been in more GF than any other team and since 1897 every 2.7 years. Now time to convert!

Except we haven't.

Geelong (6) and Sydney (7) trump our (5) since 2000
