Amazing coincidences in football

[PowerfulPies2023]

Eagles had a 3tr time total score of 11.13 in 1992, their total score at the end of the game in 2018.

Not quite the same but kinda a coincidence being in a winning grand final.

Both SA clubs, Port Adelaide and Adelaide share the same highest score total record in a match with 188 points, and both share 21 points as their total lowest score recorded in a match.

• Fitzroy merged with the Bears
• Gold Cup awarded
• Centenary season

2006

• Sirengate
• Last season in which Channel 9 televised footy
• Premiership decided by one point

2016

• Essendon forced to field a makeshift side
• Bulldogs won flag from 7th in a fairytale season
• Threepeat Hawthorn out in straight sets

2026

Every year there is some sort of oddity happening.

Luckily we can only get 10 posts from you regarding this.

1 down, 9 to go.

Interesting that in the 1994 drawn final between North 3rd vs hawks 6th one team didn't score in extra time and lost by 23 points. North won.

Then in the next drawn final in 2007 West Coast 3rd vs Collingwood 6th also didn't score in extra time and lost by 23 points. 3.5 to nothing in extra time like in 1994. This time 6th would prevail though.

Fully fit team you guys play Geelong in 2007. Would have been a great grand final.

Geelong had us covered that season.

You never know. If we got within 5 of them what could you do with a fully fit team? 3 straight Grand Finals, the demons of the 90's perhaps. You could have got them.

We would've lost had the Eagles had a fit team
