Might need to refine your specifications here, there's a major let down or two every year.

On the listed years for my club;
2008. Nah, 2007 was a bigger let down. We were down and out by the time 2008 rolled around. It went worse than expected but we were seriously deflated.
2012. Yeah finishing fifth was a bummer. Should've beaten Collingwood but Sydney would've done us in anyway.
2016. Yep, especially the way that ended.
2021. Yep, especially as it's been continuous shit rolling down hill for five seasons since that Kennedy goal vs Richmond.

Yep I should have put 2007. I feel you guys were complacent. But Cousins and Judd missing in the final cost you. Or Judd on one leg I shoukd say amd Cousins doing his hammy. But missing the first 16 games is what killed ya. That and losing home games to the Saints and Lions, even Freo I think. Blowing a 37 pt lead away to esssendon and losing by a point. Kerr cost you at the end he should have just had a shot with scores level instead of passing it bouncing off someone's chest. And the last game against Eseendon blew a big lead. Lucas went berserk in the last kicking 7 goals. Speedy last ever game at essendon. I went to that game.

2013 you were premiership favourites I think. I tipped you as did many. Poor season not making the 8.
