2019 Rd 22 v WCE. Down by 29 27 minutes into Q1. Won by 6.
2019 Prelim v Geelong. Down by 21 at half time. Won by 19.
2020 Rd 2 v Collingwood. Down by 24 at quarter time. Draw.
2020 GF v Geelong. Down by 21 just before half time. Won by 31.
2021 Rd 7 v Bulldogs. Down by 25 halfway through Q2. Won by 22.
2021 Rd 9 v GWS. Down by, what was it, 28 points halfway through Q3?. Won by 4.

There are probably some more I can't recall.
Port games away in both 2017 and 2019 and one against GWS in a year before we came real good we were well behind a three-quarter time and won.

No wonder the likes of Snott and McGuire want the games shorter.
I have no problem with off-field mechanisms to try and keep the competition even (draft, salary-cap), but messing with the actual game to minimize a club's strength is a bit rich.
