Preliminary Final Streak - Opposite of the Bulldogs

[angelopetraglia]

As many Western Bulldog fans, I have had the pain of attending seven losing preliminary finals (85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09 & 10). Just typing this is creating some real stress issues. Seven in a row, seriously, that's one really bad losing streak.

I was in Sydney today and read in the paper that Manly has the opposite record. They never ever lose preliminary finals! They have now won 11 in a row in a record that goes back to 1975. Link: http://www.foxsports.com.au/league/n...-1226477002239

Slightly incorrect. It's 11 straight grand final qualifiers not prelims.
I would say they won 2nd semis to go straight into the gf and miss the prelim altogether.

I was at most of those too. Still not over 1997.

As a Storm supporter I have seen us win 5 out of 6 preliminary finals (1999, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) 3 of those in person (the first 2 were played in Sydney) and it is very exciting. Hopefully it will be 6 out of 7 after Friday night and we can put an end to Manly's winning streak!

Hopefully next time we make a prelim we break that drought.

We really next time we make the prelim break the drought and make a GF. That week would be great for all of us in the lead to the GF. A lot of us haven't experienced that before.

Re: Preliminary Final Streak - Opposite of the Bulldogs

Fantastic game. So sweet to smash Manly. Have never been in such a great atmosphere. Over 25,000 vocal Storm supporters. It was amazing. Now for the grand final....
