In each of the Bulldogs' last three finals, the following all happened:
- They kicked exactly 11 behinds
- A player lined up for goal on or after the siren
- They kicked exactly four goals in the final quarter
This one occurred to me recently. I thought it might only apply to the AFL era but I looked it up and it goes back much further. I'm not sure if it constitutes an "amazing coincidence" 
so you be the judge -
In the last forty years every time Hawthorn has made the GF in the next year they either make the GF again OR are winless in September. No in between. The 1977 team is the last group that won a final but didn't make the GF after contesting the previous year's GF.
1978 flag. 1979 missed finals.
1983-89 GFs. 1990 first week elimination.
1991 flag. 1992 first week elimination.
2008 flag. 2009 missed finals
2012-15 GFs. 2016 no finals wins.

Every leap year since 2000, the team who has been on top of the ladder after round one has gone on to win the premiership.
At the end of the 2016 season Hawthorn traded out Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis . In the 2016 draft they picked up Mitchell Lewis .

To add to this, Mitchell wore #5 and Lewis wore #3 at Hawthorn.
In the TAC Cup, Mitchell Lewis wore #53.

Biggest coincidence I've seen?
Someone on Port Adel board predicted our 4 draft picks yesterday.
Truly astonishing.

Next year, Lions have Ports round 1 pick, and its looking likely too be a top 5.
Coincidence?

On Saturday June 25th 2016 the following matches were scheduled in these leagues:
AFL - Richmond Tigers vs. Brisbane Lions
VFL - Werribee Tigers vs. Coburg Lions
WAFL - Claremont Tigers vs. Subiaco Lions
Unfortunately, there was no SANFL match between the Glenelg Tigers and South Adelaide Panthers that day, and after the departures of Quenabeyan and Labrador (both Tigers) and Broadbeach Cats from the NEAFL, the only feline team left in this league is the Brisbane Lions Reserves.

Aren't Richmond also in the VFL? Are Werribee and Richmond both the Tigers? Strange

Yup just like how the current Coburg Lions were also the Tigers when they were aligned with Richmond a few years back.
