Here's one I just found:

Nathan Vardy
Born: 25th June 1991
Age: 25
Games: 25
Goals: 25
Last date his Wikipedia was edited: 25th September

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Vardy

Also has 25 career frees for, 25 career tackles at home, and 25 contested possessions at the MCG.

This should be in the records that will never be broken thread

R12, Last Year: Giants def Swans 15.15 (105) - 9.9 (63)
Tonight: Giants def Swans 15.15 (105) - 9.9 (63)

2nd week in a row Norf Melbourne gave up a 29 point lead.

50-21 turned into 86-89.

19-48 turned into 67-62.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

I found a weird coincidence
Hawthorn lost 25 points and 24 points between round 1 & 2
Hawthorn lost 86 points both in round 3 & 4

So could it turn out like this
25,24,86,86,86? 23?

They gave up the same 29 point lead against Geelong as well I believe

Um. What are you actually saying here? I'm very lost.

 

[GoldenMagpie16]

So for the first 7 rounds last year Hawthorn had 46,3,3,3,46
This years been basically the same 25,24,86,86

Now you should know where I'm coming from

Was 32 points at least but still the same for them.

 

[Scotland]

Except that he's played 29 games, kicked 26 goals, laid 30 tackles at home, received 15 FF at home and had 20 CP at the MCG.

It's not a geometric or arithmetic progression.

2016 Round 23: West coast def Adelaide 100-71
2017 Round 23: West Coast def Adelaide 100-71

 

[FS25]

West Coast ended up with a 'points for' of 1964, the year of our last flag. And a 'points against' of 1858, the year our footy club was founded. Spooky. The ultimate troll?

 

[GreyCrow]

2016 Round 23: West coast def Adelaide 100-71
2017 Round 23: West Coast def Adelaide 100-71

That is a good one

But its no coincidence we keep playing in Perth R23

Robbie Gray and Sam Gray both have the same last name.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Robbie Gray and Sam Gray both have the same last name.

And, a Robbie Sam and Sam Robbie both exist as amateur footballers.

Dogs win premiership in 1954. Club misses out on finals with 12 wins by smallest % differential in history the following year (0.6%).
Dogs win premiership in 2016. Club misses out on finals with 12 wins by new smallest % differential in history the following year (0.5%).

So it's not our fault but the bulldogs? Phew

2016 Adelaide v West Coast @ Adelaide Oval.

 

[Cold Sober]

There seems to be a lot of players with the same names, Watt. A. w***er. and U. Dickhead seem popular.
The umpiring fraternity must have a few father son combinations, I'm always hearing 'hey big dick' or 'what's that for Little Dick'

 

[BigVic]

Another coincidence

Mike Brady wrote “Up There Cazaly” in 1979. Pies vs Blues in GF. Pies lost GF by 5 pts

Mike Brady performed “Up There Cazaly” in 2018. Pies vs WCE in GF. Pies lost GF by 5 pts

Also on the same date, September 29.

 

[GreyCrow]

The West Coast Eagles have made 6 grand finals, three in odd years (1991, 2005 & 2015), three in even years (1992, 1994 & 2006). The Eagles have won all of the even year Grand Finals, and lost all of the Grand Finals played in odd years.

I am spooked
