The Foxes went from escaping relegation by the skin of their balls to winning the league in one season.
What are the closest examples in VFL/AFL or even other state leagues? It seems like not many premiership teams come from nowhere. Teams that shoot up the ladder always seem to fall a little short in prelims or even losing GFs.
Geelong went from 10th to 1st in 2006 – 2007, how unexpected was that? I know there was a feeling that 2006 was just an “off year”. Does anybody recall betting odds pre-season?
Essendon did 8th to 1st in 1992 – 1993, doubt we’ll be finding those betting odds.
