I think he realised Melbourne had no chance, so he declined that job.
In 2011, 2013 and 2014, both Saturday week 1 finals were won with the same score.
2011:
Collingwood 82 - West Coast 62
Sydney 82 - St Kilda 57
2013:
Fremantle 87 - Geelong 72
Port Adelaide 87 - Collingwood 63
2014:
Sydney 93 - Fremantle 69
North Melbourne 93 - Essendon 81

We'll spotted! Actually, what I really meant to say was "damn, you beat me by about 2 minutes". Fibonacci would probably have something to say as well. Friday - 36; Sat day - 24; Sat evening- 12. The next number in the sequence would be 6, then a draw.

Disregard
Disregard the Port Adelaide and Richmond game like many Tigers fans have already done, and we got our six point margin last night. All set up for a draw tonight now.

Hawthorn's period of dominance from 1971 onwards came after the then VFL gifted them the best zone in the country (that never changed despite this being the original intention).
Amazing coincidence really
Amazing coincidence really
In the first 14 years of the current finals system there were 2 teams to go out in straight sets, then in 2014 both teams went out in straight sets.

When Essendon beat Carlton in the 1993 Grand Final, they had nine more scoring shots (33 shots to 24)
The very next time they met, in 1994 round 9, Carlton had nine more scoring shots (27 shots to 18)
The next final Essendon played Carlton in was the 1999 Preliminary Final. The scoring shots in that game were exactly, the same amount as the 1993 Grand Final (33 to 24 in Essendon's favour)
The next time the two teams met, in 2000 round 5, Essendon, again, had 33 shots to 24.
The very next time they met, in 1994 round 9, Carlton had nine more scoring shots (27 shots to 18)

Hawthorn's last two preliminary finals, 5 point wins with one less goal and 11 more behinds than the opposition. Hope it continues this weekend (preferably with a 15.17-16.6 win)
PF 2012: Hawthorn 13.19 (97) d Adelaide 14.8 (92)
PF 2013: Hawthorn 14.18 (102) d Geelong 15.7 (97)
PF 2012: Hawthorn 13.19 (97) d Adelaide 14.8 (92)
PF 2013: Hawthorn 14.18 (102) d Geelong 15.7 (97)

So the next one should be....
PF 2014: Hawthorn 15.17 (107) d Port Adelaide 16.6 (102)
That is, if the pattern of beating opponents that scored more goals continues.
Edit: I should read the text and not just the scores next time.

Even in the midst of their golden era, Hawthorn never finished Top 4 in Leigh Matthews' career unless he played more than 19 games in any particular season.
