It's got to be some sort of record hasn't it?

We've only got ourselves to blame, but it would be nice if just for once we could play a dud team in the prelim and make a grand final.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought we did have the team closest to being a "dud team" (if there is such a team in a preliminary final) in each such years.

2004 : Yes, Port won the h&a season, but most will have considered us lucky to not have to play Brisbane in the preliminary final (Brisbane smashed us by 80 points in the qualifying final - and had a certain streak going...). The fourth team that year was Geelong (4th after h&a - we were 3rd).

2005 : Sydney were 3rd after the h&a (we were 4th) suprising many experts to just make it into the top 4. The other teams in the prelminary final were Adelaide (1st) and West Coast - 2nd).

2008 : Geelong are the best team in the AFL, even if they lost the GF. I will not believe anyone claiming that we were unlucky not to play them in the prelminary final. We did beat Hawthorn earlier this year (we lost against the Doggies twice)...
