Collingwood 2002 and 2003 were the last team. That certainly didn't go too well for them.

Before that Geelong 1994 and 1995. They finished 7th in 96 but lost their first final.

Hawthorn 84 and 85, but bounced back to win in 86, 88, 89 and 91.

Collingwood lost 3 in a row from 1979 to 1981. In 1982 they finished 10th (of 12).

Collingwood also lost in 1955 and 1956, before finishing 5th and just missing finals in 1957.

There's quite a few going back further but as far as recent generations go, it seems only Hawthorn in the 80s and Collingwood in 1981 achieved to a high level after losing consecutive Grand Finals.

I think the key in our time of draft and salary caps is to strike while the iron is hot.

Thank goodness for academy and father son rorts

It is my understanding as we sit here today Mt Gravatt have had plenty of learnings from their season, rebuild is on track.

That 8-204 one sounds like an awesome result for a Pies v Lions GF game

I say we give the current coach a 5 year extension to help with the rebuilding cause.

It could be worse though, they could rename as Port Adelaide and give the coaching job to Kenny.

Disappointing we conceded a goal on the final siren though to win by only 196 points.

That's got to be embarrassing, they didn't even double their score

Coach and most of the players left in the off season.

Surprised that Nick Robertson wasn't the one following it tbh.

I know it’s only one persons opinion, but for the life of me and he’s not the only one who refuse to put Lachie Neale in AA teams despite the likes of Zac Merrett constantly being put up (VIC bias perhaps?)

We have CHB & CHF - the trifecta is not going to happen. Reasonable call, IMO.

The bench is a different question.

Ten years today since a certain 16 year old bag o' bones stepped out for the Lions NEAFL team for the first time. Little did we know then that he'd grow into a 26 year old bag o' bones.

$40K fine from the AFL for how we handled Andrews' concussion.

Having considered Brisbane’s submissions in relation to the management of Andrews on Sunday afternoon, the AFL has determined that the club was in breach of the AFL Concussion Protocols and have sanctioned the club $40,000. The sanction takes into account the $10,000 suspended sanction from the previous breach by Brisbane in the 2023 NAB AFLW Grand Final, a $20,000 fine to be paid immediately (and to be included in the Soft Cap), and a $10,000 fine suspended and only payable if there is another breach in either AFL or AFLW prior to the end of the 2025.

What a crock!

Next time we should just say he isn't concussed and is just "ill". Worked for Carlton

He should go into 12 day protocols from now

The good old VFL strikes again.

In reality, the AFL are partially fining themselves. Got to think that they are still upset over Charlie getting off.

Not fining Geelong for Jeremy Cameron, saying everything was fine, just shows they just make stuff up. Amazingly Cameron got an 'unexpected' delayed concussion.

This is the comments from the AFL in regards to Carlton over the McKay concussion - can someone who has better skills than me, post the AFL investigation to Brisbane (currently up on the AFL website)and tell me how they are different in regards to Brisbane’s response and Carlton’s response - both clubs say their doctors were involved with players at the time including Andrew’s.

Ever since Laura Kane turned up the AFL issues gobbledegook with overly defensive versions of the dog ate my homework.

Apparently we had some carryover from an HIA incident in the AFLW finals last year. Bit of a reach IMO but they make their own rules.

They made it pretty clear, $10K of it was a suspended fine when the Conway incident happened. There's another $10K suspended fine in this too [10K AFLW fine, 20K Andrews fine, 10K suspended fine if it occurs in AFL/AFLW again]
