The Crows if they hadn't lost practically every good interstate player the last 10 years.
How did the final 6 work?1993 was a bullshit season with 20 games, 15 teams and a final 6. Given how even it was a standard 22 game season would've made a huge difference.
Was just thinking that before. Eagles underachieved with their list I reckon, but who knows, maybe the constant travel wore them down? They butchered Geelong in 94 and reckon they’d have done the same to North. They were too good. They peaked from 91-94 and probably should’ve won in 93 as well.The 90's was a somewhat disappointing decade in that none of the powerhouses faced off in a Grand Final - West Coast/Essendon/Nth Melbourne. Carlton made 3 Grand Finals in the 90's but 1995 was a stand alone dominant year.
West Coast probably should have won an extra flag and so should have Essendon. I think North's 2 flags was about right. A West Coast v North GF in '94 and a Essendon v North GF in '99 would have been much more entertaining that what eventuated in both of those years.
How did the final 6 work?
Huh???1v2, 3v6, 4v5
1Wv5W, 2Lv6W
5Lv2W
1Wv2W
Funny system.
Huh???
Huh???
1v2, 3v6, 4v5
winner of 1v2 vs winner of 4v5, loser of 1v2 vs winner of 3v6
loser of first final in week 2 vs winner of second final in week 2
winner of first final in week 2 vs winner of final in week 3
That does seem odd, doesn't this just penalise the team that finishes 3rd greatly?
I don't know how that couldn't make sense, but...
Game 1 (QF): 1v2
Game 2 (EF): 3v6
Game 3 (EF): 4v5
Game 4 (2SF): Winner of Game 1 vs Winner of Game 3
Game 5 (1SF): Loser of Game 1 vs Winner of Game 2
Game 6 (PF): Loser of Game 4 vs Winner of Game 5
Game 7 (GF): Winner of Game 4 vs Winner of Game 6
In 1983 North had a bit of flat track bully about them.1993 was a bullshit season with 20 games, 15 teams and a final 6. Given how even it was a standard 22 game season would've made a huge difference.
Got flogged by Geelong in preliminary by 16 goals, whom in turn were only the second best team of that year being 4 wins between first and second on ladder. Carlton then flogged Cats and were 85 points up in grand final before easing up to let Cats kick last 4 goals of grand final as we celebrated. Tigers 1995 team were a mile off...
1991 Finals (A Final 6)It was the old system where teams were ranked. It was an odd year because 5th and 6th won their elimination finals over 4th and 3rd.
A bizarre system where Adelaide could finish 5th, win, lose and then get a double chance.

It does a lot of weird things. The weirdest is 1 v 2 in week one is forced to mean the loser gets dumped to 3rd ranking for no logical reason at all. The highest ranked winner of other finals in same week earns a double chance to make grand final. Which means some other lucky side leap frogs into a final with winner of 1 v 2 earning the same double chance as one of those teams... ha ha.. will never make any sense, EVER!!!That does seem odd, doesn't this just penalise the team that finishes 3rd greatly?
Adelaide got a double chance to make grand final. This years minor premier did not even get that. Hence Richmond lose one final last week and no double chance to make grand final. 1993 Crows got more chances to make grand final than Richmond did in 2018. I love how silly it was. Showed how little thought was put into it.It was the old system where teams were ranked. It was an odd year because 5th and 6th won their elimination finals over 4th and 3rd.

Richmond had a double chance same as WC, Hawthorn and Collingwood.
No team in the current system has a double chance after week one.
Hawthorn should have won every flag from 1986-1992.
I am not going anywhere. You are the one on some weird tangent away from what I was talking about..rofl...Richmond came 2nd last in 1993 so I'm not sure where you are going with this.

The 1993 finals series and the weird way the rankings in top two made no sense in week two to give double chance to grand final to Crows.
Exactly, it is what always amusing me looking back at it. Why were Essendon dumped to 3rd ranking for losing to 1st in week one? At worst they should have been ranked 2nd at end of game.Was ridiculous that 1 and 2 played for a spot in the 2nd semi and yet 4v5 ended up doing the same. Stupid system,
