Melbourne’s finals drought is no secret to footy fans but when you line it up alongside the rest of the competition, it looks worse.
The only other team to not have won a final in over 10 years is Essendon, however the Bombers made the finals just last year and have their fair share of excuses for the drought.
With Melbourne, Essendon and St Kilda on the finals fringe, Brisbane could take over the top spot.
They are on the up with their young list but still not in finals contention and it seems as they are going to move higher up this list.
