Losing run

Spelly,
Westies' longest losing sequence is 17 games (an entire season in the 30s). But we've now lost 11 in a row and I suspect this is our equal second longest losing sequence. Can you confirm?

No, there are longer than that:
The winless season was 1933
14 - Round 3 1974 to Round 16 1974
12 - Round 9 1936 to Round 3 1937

Thanks a lot for that. Strangely, it's comforting.
