Brisbane and losing away games before the bye, name a better duo...
2024- lost to hawthorn away by 25
2023- lost to Adelaide away by 17
2022- lost to Fremantle away by 14
2021- lost to Melbourne away by 22
2020- covid- dont count
2019- lost to Carlton away by 15 (i remember this game,,, a huge carlton comeback)
2018- lost to Essendon home by 22
surprised it hasn't been picked up by media as one of their talking points- unless I've misread (definitely possible) if you forget the covid season, we have lost our last 6 games before the bye (didn't check further back because we were no good anyway). considering we've been amoungst the top 4 in that time it's an interesting trend.
the draw obviously goes by a certain structure and they just fill in certain gaps, we appear to get an away game before the bye every season by some quirk.
Last season we had away games either side of the bye as well, and lost both of them.
I look at this list and I say can we please have a home game before the bye? And can we play hawthorn at the gabba?
3 games at the gabba against hawthorn since 2009, 15 away. Absurd.
