West Coast 1991-1992
West Coast 1991: 19-3 %162.2 Lost Grand Final
West Coast 1992: 15-6-1 %125.9 Won Grand Final
St Kilda 2009: 20-2 %155.7 Lost Grand Final
St Kilda 2010: 15-6-1 %121.62 ???
Just a thought, perhaps after a dominant season where you fall at the final hurdle, it is difficult to play your best during the home and away season the following year knowing that ultimately it all comes down to the finals.
I might be wrong, but remember as I posted after the Grand Final last year, in the last 20 years, five teams have not won the premiership following 18-4 or better seasons.
4 of those 5 won the flag the following year.
Port Adelaide won the flag two years later.

How did West Coast go in the last home and away match of their premiership year?

A lot of similarites to St Kilda 2010. A few shockers, a raft of unconvincing wins but getting the job done and then hitting their straps come September.
