The hoodoo continues, and the Swans have a 4-0 finals record over the Cats.
The Cats bad luck in even years also continues; only once, in 1952, has Geelong won the premiership.
Pending selection, Matthew Boyd will line up in his first grand final in his 282nd game.
I believe that this will make him the fifth most experienced grand final debutant ever.
Paul Roos played his first in game 314 and lost
Shane Crawford played his first in game 305 and won
Paul Williams played his first in game 294 and won
Matthew Pavlich played his first in game 291 and lost
Prior to 2016, the Bulldogs had never:
- won finals in consecutive weeks
- won 3 finals in a final series
They have now done both.
#35 Patrick Dangerfield...35 votes! Neat eh?
Record lowest total Brownlow votes for a team is perhaps under threat tomorrow night. Currently held by Melbourne with 16 votes in 2013, followed by GWS with 17 votes in the same year. My rough calculations have Brisbane on 17-18 this year, but it would only take one anomalous match to sneak under the bar.
Got 20 but as you pointed out would not have taken much to be some new record low.
Only 4 players on their entire list polled a Brownlow Vote tonight.
Has this ever happened before ?
