Amazing coincidences in football

[Unpredictable]

Imagine going to the trouble of creating a burner account and then just wasting like this.

This is my only account, and I'm hoping to be here for a while.

 

[Whisper in the Wind]

Coincidence Watch:
The ANZAC day game usually falls in Round 5-6.
We could see Pendlebury and Goldstein break the 10,000 career Disposals and Hitouts in the same game.
Pendlebury (9886 Disposals - Required Average if Round 5 22.8 / Round 6 19.0 - 2023 Av. 22.8)
Goldstein (9835 Hit Outs - Required Average if Round 5 33.0 / Round 6 27.5 - 2023 Av. 29.2)

Pies flag 2010. Norm Smith number 10
Pies flag 2023. Norm Smith number 23

 

[Billy ray]

Pies flag 2010. Norm Smith number 10
Pies flag 2023. Norm Smith number 23

Look at 2099

 

[Shane Heard]

Pies flag 2010. Norm Smith number 10
Pies flag 2023. Norm Smith number 23

That’s the sort of coincidence I come here for. Superb,”.

ok, I’ll bite. Why is 21 the beginning of the modern era?

 

[Shane Heard]

1990 Peter Daicos kicked Collingwood's first goal in the grand final
2023 his son Nick Daicos kicked Collingwood's first goal in the grand final

I remember both vividly. One live at the ground crunched in amongst the great unwashed punt rd end standing room Collingwood rabble ..the other while laying on the couch with sushi and salt and vinegar chips..

 

[Shane Heard]

ok, I’ll bite. Why is 21 the beginning of the modern era?

Probably around the time Jake Stringer developed into a hybrid big arsed forward mid who can kick 68 mtr barrels and shrug off 3 simultaneous tackles at once.

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

Collingwood beat Brisbane Lions for the 16th time in their history, it is Collingwood's 1600th win as a club and it brings them the 16th flag.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

He also thinks Ronnie Burns was more exciting to watch that Stephen (sic) Pendlebury...

Can you please ask me that in the appropriate thread? Because I'm sure some here may not appreciate your and your cronies attempts to derail this very entertaining thread, I for one will not allow you guys to do that.

How did you conjure up that one? Lol

Brilliant

 

[BigVic]

1990 Terry Daniher was invovled in a losing grand final with Essendon, 2023 Joe Daniher was invovled in a losing grand final with Brisbane
2010 and 2023 our premiership captains are defenders with their first names starting with the letter M (Maxwell and Moore) Moore wears #30 is divisible by #5 which was worn by Maxwell

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Both Ken Hinkley and Brad Scott finished their 11th season as senior coaches without a Grand Final appearance.

That's a s**t load of disposals to go with his hit outs. I always thought he was like another mid out there.

 

[Rod Stroker]

1990 Terry Daniher was invovled in a losing grand final with Essendon, 2023 Joe Daniher was invovled in a losing grand final with Brisbane

Maybe the "coincidence" - that you forgot to mention - was that both times it was against Collingwood.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Since 2023 only 1 teams has won a flag

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

I think this coincidence is more amazing:
Since 2023, 17 teams haven't won a flag

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Gert on WC for a prelim next year?

No chance.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

scores weren't far off in the prelims between pies and giants.

8.8 to 7.10 GWS Favor in 2019
8.10 to 8.9 in Pies favor in 2023


probably been mentioned. Giants got one more point. Pies got one more goal.

Premiers in the 3 years after death and accession of a new monarch since 1952


1952 Geelong 1953 Collingwood 1954 Footscray (now Western Bulldogs)

2022 Geelong 2023 Collingwood 2024 Western Bulldogs?

 

[BigVic]

25th September 2006 - Adam Goodes became a dual Brownlow Medallist within 3 years after winning his first

25th September 2023 - Lachie Neale became a dual Brownlow Medallist within 3 years after winning his first

Both of their teams lost a grand final as co-captains by less than a kick on either side of Geelong's big Grand Final wins.

1990 Terry Daniher was invovled in a losing grand final with Essendon, 2023 Joe Daniher was invovled in a losing grand final with Brisbane

Terry wore number 5 as well.

That’s some freaky s**t…

in their next trade it must be the first time a club has ever recruited two players in a row with the same first name who have surnames that start and finish with the same letters.
