Between 62-84 we were terrible, only made finals twice in 74 and 76 and were knocked out first week. From 1992 onwards we've been solid though.

But yeah, we've played 10 prelims in our history, won 1 against Melbourne in 61 and lost 9, Adelaide remains the only team to win the flag after beating us in a prelim. Geelong, St Kilda, Hawthorn and Collingwood have all failed.
You guys needed a bit of Hawthorn in Alan Joyce to play consistent finals for the first time since 53-54.

Darling had a similar thing didn't he a few years ago which is why he slipped down the order. Will be interesting to see how much (if any) impacts what number he goes at.

Wouldn't mind him at Richmond if he's still there though Ah Chee or Oliver would be pretty good pickups too from what I've read on them.

Darlings issue was that he got king hit and possibly had some brain damage.

Poor kid is 18 and freaks out a few days before the biggest night of his life. Selfishly I want clubs to get scared off, but gee I think it's very rough for the AFL industry to shunt a kid like that
