funny thing is, half way between 2012 and 1991 os is 2001-2, when the lions were at their power.
The lions would relate to the style of both the 80s hawks and the current hawks but the 21 year difference shows a huge difference in the sport as a whole
But even in that time, weve also had the eagles, north, geelong in ascendency, the crows and bombers to a lesser extent, so the uncommon is quite common really.
Seven grand finals in a row is still quite remarkable though. That would mean another four for this group, so much as the eighties hawks replenished for the late eighties, that would have to happen now
Funnyly enough though, burgoynes career so far (debut 2002. Pr 04. Gf 07. Gf 12. Pr 13. Pr 14 )is tracking michael tucks (debut 72. Gf 75. Pr 76. Pr 78 pr 83. Gf 84)
Hows 2021 looking Shaun. Just over a year older than tuck at the same stage
