5-13 Overall, 2-5 as Sydney Swans. Not a good look at all. The overall record is worse than Collingwood.
I don't think a history of losing Grand Finals affects the current team, unless it is the team itself that has lost multiple GF's such as 90s Geelong, and 70s/80s Collingwood.
But it can become an albatross around the club's neck as each successive team loses, as were the Colliwobbes, and the Sydney Swans record will start to become just that if they lose on the weekend.
