If Brisbane lose to GWS next week, they'll have basically mirrored Port Adelaide 2000 and 2001 over the last 2 seasons in all facets.
Going back to 2000 and 2001, the start of a couple of years of regular season dominance (but being only able to capture 1 flag) in it's early stages is starting to revive through Brisbane 2018 and 2019.
2000 - Port 7 wins finish 14th
2018 - Brisbane 5 wins finish 15th
2001 - Port 16 wins finish 3rd (Lost to Brisbane week 1, and fall by 3 points to Hawthorn to go out in straight sets) (Port won 8 out of their last 9 games to finish 3rd)
2019 - Brisbane 16 wins finish 2nd (Lost to Richmond week 1, and lose by 3 points to GWS) (Brisbane won 9 out of their last 10 games to finish 2nd)
* Update:
Matched basically 2 straight seasons game for game and finals finals now.
2002 - Port 18 wins finish 1st (Lost to Collingwood week 1 by 13pts after having 14 more inside 50's and not taking their chances. Beat Essendon week 2 by 24pts and lose the prelim to Brisbane by 56pts at the Gabba (the equivalent of losing to Richmond at the MCG currently).
2020 - Brisbane....
2003 - Port 18 wins finish 1st (Lost to Sydney week 1 by 12pts again having 7 more inside 50's and having a disastrous 2nd quarter conceeding 7 goals 1. Play Essendon week 2 and win comfortably by 39 points. Face Collingwood at the MCG and lose by 44pts never really being in the match in the 2nd half).
2021 - Brisbane....
2004 - Port 17 wins finish 1st (Beat Geelong by 55pts at home, crawl over the line in the prelim by 6pts to St Kilda and then comfortably win the GF by 40pts).
2022 - Brisbane....
Brisbane 2018 and 2019 very closely aligns with Port Adelaide 2000 and 2001.
However, they have the chance to actually take advantage of 4 years of exceptional regular season dominance and actually win more then 1 flag over the next 4 seasons.
