The week after

A caller on SEN this afternoon said that no-one has won the week after they have played Geelong this year. Can anyone confirm this stat.

trend has to end sooner or later........like throwing heads in two-up.....

Just to add more TNT to the theory....

Essendon won its next game against Carlton in Round 3
St Kilda in Round 5
Brisbane in Round 8
Richmond in Round 9
Collingwood in Round 10
Carlton in Round 11
Fremantle in Round 16
Hawthorn in Round 18
Melbourne in Round 20

Just had a look, only 9 teams have won their next game after playing Adelaide the previous week. (same number as those playing Geelong)
