Pfft you and other posters are looking for a reason to hang your hats on as to why we didn't win a premiership.
Nothing to do with club culture. Everything to do with a poor game plan that doesn't stand up in finals...... Coaching.
Reaching prelims is hardly mediocrity. It's not the ultimate goal. And we shouldn't just settle, but it is no where near being consistently mediocre.

The problem is that settling is precisely what we did.
Fitness coach gone...oh well just promote the guy under him.
Key forward/ruck gone...oh well we've got (the unproven) Jenkins
No draft picks...oh well let's promote a rookie (Callinan, Laird, Hartigan)
Assistant coach suspended...oh well we know the gameplan
Pre-season training...nah let's take it easy lads
Players available in Free Agency...oh well our list is awesome
That complacency ensuing from being less than a kick from a grand final is exactly why we are in the mess we are in. Accept anything other than ultimate success and you only encourage mediocrity.
