I'm pretty sure I was alive the last time we won more than 5 games in a year. My memories are fuzzy, but does that count?

And then to thank Geelong's secretary for his assistance, some campaigner went apeshit in our very first game (against Geelong) and ended up with a life suspension. Club heritage

I know of Fred Rutley getting a 99-game suspension after our second match against the Cats at Arden Street, I don't know of anyone getting suspended in our first game.
