Only the 12th finals win on the road by a Victorian club, from 55 attempts.
Do you know what the success rate is of those 12 wins in terms of going on to win the big one.
I'm not sure 1980 qualifies for this stat. There was only one QF and the teams that lost in week 1 of the finals had finished 2nd and 4th. Geelong (1st) lost a semi-final in week 2. Another article doing the rounds on this might have been referring to 1926, top 2 teams lost in week 1.I just read a truely beautiful stat on the Roar.
This year is only the second time that both the top 2 teams have lost the QF in the first week of the finals.
So I went investigating and:
The last time this happened Geelong also finished on top of the ladder and the tigers finished third.
The last time this happened Collingwood made it to the grand final and a Footscray player won the Brownlow (how is the Bont placed this year)
Their opponent in the grand final was, yes Richmond
The year was 1980, and we all remember that Grand final don’t we.
So if Collingwood keep this up
And we beat Brisbane
We will get the winner of Geelong v WCE
On our MCG. in a prelim final.

The modern era for me began in 1994 with the top 8.Yeah your right - you forget how many times they have changed the system.

I think it was 1994.
