Amazing coincidences in football

[BigVic]

Coincidence or not? The days between each clubs last premiership and the date of this years grand final.


Essendon 6966
Brisbane 5845
Collingwood 3284
Geelong 2919
Western Bulldogs 1093
Richmond 790
West Coast 365
GWS n/a


1093 is the only prime number. The highest prime number in the top 8 is 7 - the position the Bulldogs currently sit and also the position they won the 2016 Premiership.

eagles as defending champs have gone out in the semi finals 3 out of 3 times.

2007 when the Cats topped the ladder, eagles out in week 2 against the Pies.

In 1993 in their elimination final game, against a Victorian opponent, the Eagles kicked 17 goals 18 points. Tonight they kicked 17.14.


Each time as defending champs the Eagles have lost in the semis to a Victorian Opponent, and a Vic side won the flag that year.


I think these are bad omens for the Eagles. Not on tonights form though, they were brilliant!

 

[Macpotata]

for what it's worth I think the Pies win tomorrow night.

[MightyHawks]

After 5479 days of Essendon not winning a final, we had another day where Essendon didn't win a final

Tiges win premiership in 1980 when i was 9. 2017 premiership was when my 1st child was 9.
Now my 2 child has just turned 9. Tiges premiership is a certainty.

Wow, that's a cool coincidence with Richmond & the #9.

And this is an amazing coincidence how?

Essendon hasn't won a final in 15 years.

Adrian Dodoro has been list manager that whole time.

Its not his fault though, just a massive coincidence.

 

[situationz]

The total score in Essendon's last 2 finals has been 177 points

2017 EF: 121-56
2019 EF: 116-61

Essendon's last match against West Coast was 177 as well. The Eagles won 106-71 in round 14 this year.

Collingwood needs to win the last game of the year against Essendon to secure a top 4 spot.

2019

Collingwood needs to win the last game of the year against Essendon to secure a top 4 spot.

Start engraving the premiership cup now with "Brisbane Lions". Previous year a non-Vic team (WC) defeated Collingwood by less than 2 goals with the last kick of the game. In 2002, a non-Vic team (BL) def Collingwood by less than 2 goals with the last kick of the game.

The Mayne chair.

Chris Mayne has become the first player to chair off two different 6 x All Australian's in milestone matches. Last night he chaired off Scott Pendlebury after his 300th whilst in rd 19 2016 he chaired off Matthew Pavlich in his 350th.

It’s like they’ve gone out of their way to avoid each other.

Dogs finals 97-00
Port finals 01-05
Dogs 06
Port 07
Dogs 08-10
Port 13-14
Dogs 15-16
Port 17
Dogs 19

Holy crap, it's like they're sharing custody of a single finals spot....

In the 1992 WAFL season Robert West was a leading player for West Perth (winning the Sandover Medal despite the Falcons finishing last) while Heath East was a leading player for their rivals East Perth.

Robert West played for West Perth, the West Coast Eagles and the Western Bulldogs, but when he went to South Australia he played for Port Adelaide, when he could have played for West Adelaide or the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles.

Sydney Swans are the only team in the AFL era to have won a Premiership without kicking over 100 points in an Finals Series.

It is an coincidence because it only happened in 2005 and 2012. Who won those Premierships.

Champion Data are really going overboard in the stats they keep.

In 2012 the five bird teams filled the first five spots on the ladder - in order Hawthorn Hawks, Adelaide Crows, Sydney Swans, Collingwood Magpies and West Coast Eagles.

In 2019, the three feline teams filled the first three spots on the ladder - Geelong Cats, Brisbane Lions and Richmond Tigers. This is the first time to date that all three of Geelong, Richmond and Brisbane/Fitzroy Lions have made the finals in the same year.

Wow really? Thats amazing considering those 3 were in the comp for like nearly 90 years together. Well over 90 including the Brisbane Lions.
