Mark Williams was a very busy man in 2004.
He lead the goal-kicking for Hawthorn, coached Port Adelaide Power to the AFL premiership and also coached the Sandringham Zebras to the VFL flag.

If only one of those Geelong points in 2009 went out on the full...

Not to mention both games were at Coburg Oval, and the first game was in round 1, 2008 and the second was in round 2, 2009 (just one round apart!). So that was almost the same score, same teams, same round, same location, two years in a row
Didn’t Richmond once have a Ben Holland and a Ben Hollands on the same list in the late 90’s?A South Australian named Jack Trengove playing for a Victorian club at the same time as a Victorian named Jack (okay Jackson) Trengove was playing for a South Australian club. Then I think they switched to clubs back to their respective home states in the same season.
It wasn't exactly Josh Kennedy, Mitch Brown or Nathan Brown: having two Jack Trengoves (as far as I'm aware not even distant relations) in the league at the same time has always seemed to be a pretty strange coincidence to me, let alone the other stuff.
OMG - two likes and you are right. Hollands junior could go No1 in next draft. I am losing my touch, must be lockdown.Didn’t Richmond once have a Ben Holland and a Ben Hollands on the same list in the late 90’s?
I didn’t know they were father and son. Good for them, Elijah has “it”.OMG - two likes and you are right. Hollands junior could go No1 in next draft. I am losing my touch, must be lockdown.
By an amazing co-incidence, the then Hawthorn President, Mr Sandy Ferguson, had (allegedly) accused the Cats of 'lacking mental toughness' after a game between the two teams in 1962.
The Brisbane Bears and the Brisbane Lions both have the same lowest score ever of 2.5-17.
Why the Brisbane Bears scored 2.5-17 was understandable. It was a cold and windy day in the middle of winter at Princes Park against Hawthorn in 1988, played in teeming rain from opening bounce to final siren, with the ground a mudheap, one wing resembling a lake.
The Brisbane Lions scored 2.5-17 against Richmond at the MCG on a fine and sunny autumn day and a good playing surface in 2018. And while the 2018 Lions were not a good team by any stretch, they were an improving team, one far better than the dismal seasons of 2015, 2016 & 2017.
And since then Geelong have only won three grand finals, I think he was right about Geelong lacking mental toughnessIn 1963 Geelong played Hawthorn in three successive matches:
- Round 18 (last home and away round)
- Second Semi Final
- Grand Final
Geelong also won all three. Perhaps this was an early forerunner of the 'Kennett Curse'.

Pencil Carlton in to lose the 2061 Grand Final.
