Has any team been runners-up in all four grades?

I've got the runners up only from 1947 onwards and the answer is no, there have been four times a team has had three runners up in one season, but not all four.

Richmond defeated North Melbourne in Under 19 GF that year.
I have not the foggiest idea which competition you are referring to Strawb.

Geelong lost the 1989 U19 preliminary final by less than a goal.
Because of a draw earlier in the finals series the U19 prelim was played on Grand Final Day.

Turned out a dirty day for the cats.
Losing all three games that day by a goal or less.

So strawb wasnt far off.
