This is something I've wondered about myself. On first crack they brought up that no team finishing 4th has won it with the current finals system...while 2nd and 3rd have 7 times. Indeed they've only even made the gf 3 times. So effectively this century only the Bulldogs have made it from outside top 3.
I wonder if this is purely coincidence or is there any other logical reason why? 3rd place also plays an away qualifying final, so generally don't get a home advantage (unless it's 2 Vic teams at the G). Still, 7 vs 0 seems pretty crazy for pure chance.
I have a feeling the Giants could be the first team to break that hoodoo.
