Hawk Facts...

[RiOtChEsS]

Hawthorn and Richmond have never met in an AFL/VFL final
Even though the Tigers and the Hawks have won 10 premierships apiece, the two clubs have never met in a final of any description. Making that stat even more amazing is the fact that between 1971 and 1980, Hawthorn and Richmond played in eight of the 10 Grand Finals (Hawthorn in 1971, 1975, 1976 and 1978, and Richmond in 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1980) - but never against one another.

the other grand finals in that decade were both lost by Collingwood :P

Saw that on the AFL! Very good.

I like this stat I saw the other day:

In 1961 the Hawks and the Dogs played in the Grand Final. The Dogs going for their 2nd flag, the Hawks there first. The Hawks won. 50 years on, and the Hawks have 10 flags, and the Dogs haven't even made a grand final.
