2013 Grand Final

Mr.Craig · September 22, 2013, 03:22:29 PM

I was wondering when the last time brothers played against each other in a GF. Turns out it was 1912. :o

Nice stat Mr Craig.

When was the last time the lesser brother was on the winning side like he will be this Saturday?

I actually don't mind if either team win but I am supporting Freo because they deserve to win after not winning anything...ever.

Haha but best of luck to Hawks too ;)

Why does everyone say Freo deserve to win? Because they havent won before? Shall we just also give STK, WB, GC and GWS a flag too? Hawthorn have been the pinnacle of the AFL for two years, they deserve to win just as much!

yeah. Give us a flag plz.

We graciously accept donations as well :P

Awesome work by the Box Hill boys. What a great weekend to be a Hawks supporter! 8)

I don't really mind who wins tbh. I think next year Freo will be extremely hard to beat, and at this point am picking them to win next years GF, so going off that, maybe Hawks deserve to get this one :P

It is just that come GF time I support non Victorian teams and always have as despite the success of interstate teams there seems a lack of recognition of these interstate teams in Victoria and the AFL does it best to reward them. Still remember the Finals scheduling in 2004 which imo hindered Brisbane winning 4 in a row.

Sorry Ringo that is pretty of. The mark I would say. Sydney, Crows, WC, Bris and Port all have won 9 flags out of 16 between them since 1997. You are suggesting the AFL made it hard for you because you were non-victorian despite the fact you were beaten by another non-victorian side? And what about last year when Hawks despite finishing top and winning our QF still had to play a Saturday night prelim and Sydney got the Friday night one despite finishing 3rd? The AFL let Geelong play a game at skilled earlier this finals series but didn't let Sydney play last year's prelim at the SCG so they could play Saturday.
No Scrads just saying that the AFL often makes it difficult for interstate sides.
In 2004 despite winning the right to hold the Prelim Final at the Gabba we were forced to play at the G on the Saturday night thus giving us less time to prepare for the final. Not saying we would have won as Port played and excellent game but the scheduling was wrong. If they were to stand on their commitments they could have allowed Brisbane to play on the Friday night to be fair. It was common knowledge after Brisbanes 3 peat that a 4 peat was going to be extremely difficult.

That was total bullshower.

Congrats mate, well done! How did they let you know? Email or something? I checked my emails and there was nothing there so I presume I didn't get anything. Wasn't really expecting too though, I'm priority 3.

EDIT: Just had a look at the lists on the hawks website, I'm unsuccessful :(. Oh well, as I said didn't expect to get one lol.
