Selectively the last 7 seasons, yes.
My own team doesn't have a particularly outstanding recent finals record.
2012 - home EF vs North won, away SF vs Collingwood lost
2013 - no finals
2014 - no finals
2015 - home QF vs Hawthorn won, home PF vs North won, GF vs Hawthorn lost
2016 - home EF vs WB lost
2017 - away EF vs Port won, away SF vs GWS lost
2018 - home QF vs Collingwood win, home PF vs Melbourne win, GF vs Collingwood win
Switching the 2016 loss to the Bulldogs and 2017 win over Port that's about what you'd expect given the H&A performances per season.
The whole point is that Geelong haven't turned strong H&A performances into finals success. 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 2nd in a 5 year stretch for 0 prelim wins is a big reason people criticise Chris Scott. I'm not saying the criticism is fair or unfair, just pointing out why it exists. You can spin it that given the players at his disposal Chris Scott has overachieved in recent years if you like.
