If somehow Geel got over WC, which I cannot see happening, put down your specs. But WC on song are a major major handful.

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.

Just saying


PS - the title of this thread needs to be updated.

Only the 12th finals win on the road by a Victorian club, from 55 attempts.

Yeah - tough to do obviously as home ground adds that little extra % difficulty which in a final is normally enough.

The media not really giving us the credit for our win I reckon.

Do you know what the success rate is of those 12 wins in terms of going on to win the big one.

I am assuming Adelaide may have done it in the 90s, possibly one of the bears repeat maybe and I remember the pies winning in Adelaide once or twice more recently.

Of the 12 Victorian winners, only the Bulldogs (won twice in 2016) and Hawthorn (won SF in Adelaide 2015) went on to win the flag.

Excluding the non-Victorian GF's 2004-06, non-Victorian clubs are 36 from 113.

Obviously there are the 9 GF winners at the MCG. Five of those also won another final interstate - Sydney a QF in Adelaide in 2012, Brisbane a PF in Sydney in 2003, Adelaide a SF in Sydney and a PF in Victoria in 1998 plus a PF in Melbourne in 1997, and West Coast a SF in Melbourne in 1992.

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.

Anyone know how many teams have won a qualifying final interstate, and how many were Victorian clubs?

Hard to win an interstate QF I reckon.

Some of the stats are a bit ridiculous. Consecutive PFs is only really relevant since there have been 2 PFs with the winners going on to the GF. The stat about top 2 teams losing in week 1 is potentially confusing: under the final 5 it was not possible as week 1 was a bye for the top team. Under the final 4 are they referring to both semi finals as they were held in consecutive weeks, not the same weekend - one final each week.

Yeah your right - you forget how many times they have changed the system.

Maybe they meant that both of the top two teams lost their first final. And this case, they were both to Richmond.

The modern era for me began in 1994 with the top 8.

I think it was 1994.

for me the modern era came with the decline of the flannel shirt wearers; Michael Tuck, Jim Jess, Paul Vanderahaar.

1990 is a convenient date. It marks the final grand-final of the olden era as arguably the greatest of all time.

but it inconveniently bestows the first premiership of the modern era on Collingwood.

Bearing this in mind, Im going to end the olden days in 1989

, start my modern era in '91

and call 1990 an irrelevant milieu.
