And another first would be the only AFL team to win 2 AFL premierships in October, should we win next week, having already beaten Essendon in 1990 in October.
There's been more than a few October GFs actually. 24 of them - with 1994 actually being on the 1st of October with no draws in that final (extra time final Nth v Hawks excluded)
Collingwood has won 7 Grand Finals in October
1910, 1919, 1927, 1930, 1935, 1936 and of course 1990.
We have also lost four - 1920, 1925, 1926 and of course 1977
Richmond has won 4 in October out of their 10 so that's the only club with nearly as much October success
Saints have never played a GF in October
So if it means anything the Pies have a much better record in October than in September...
