From BF: There has only ever been 2 teams to win 5 games in a row by 50 points or more in a season, both went on to win the premiership.


Unfortunately this is incorrect but it does have a silver lining...

2008: Geelong 5 x 50 pt wins in a row Rds 12-16 - played in Grand Final but lost

1989: Geelong 6 x 50 pt wins in a row Rds 7-12 - played in Grand Final but lost

'Silver lining'? Well they did make the GF.

Carlton ARE the only other team to win 5 x 50pt in a row.

And the Mighty Blues may still become the first team to tick this box by going all the way!

Might have already been asked, but are we the first team to have a 6 game losing streak immediately followed by a 6(+) game winning streak? I checked that season where Swans started 0-6 and finished 14-8, but they only won 3 in a row after the bad start.

The Suns next week is going to be enormously difficult, not sure why so many blues fans are ticking it off so easily as a W.

They've only lost there in round 1 and recently to the Pies.

Lost to Sydney, Melbourne, Collingwood

Beaten Geelong, North, Hawthorn, St Kilda, Brisbane

Oh yes forgot about that. From memory the umpires committed grand larceny for Melbourne in that game and they only just got over the line by a goal.

Probably makes next week more dangerous for us as the Suns always turn up when it doesn't matter lol

Levi's kicked 1.2.

If he'd kicked that 4.7 they'd be four points up.

Booooooooo!!!!!

I seriously doubt it
They are pathetic
Can see why Dew got sacked. . Failed to develop the mental fortitude and character of the players.

Nahhh they’re cooked. If we can’t win that we don’t deserve to play finals

Kind of like when they were cooked in 2012 :lol:

But seriously we should win that game. Is Ben King still going to be out?

Exactly.

Put it this way we have only ourselves to blame if it goes pear shaped again.

8 losses out of 9.
