It isn't amazing and it probably isn't a coincidence, but **** it here we go
Yesterday Nick Larkey kicked 9 goals for North Melbourne and Tex Walker kicked 9 goals for Adelaide, which marked the first time that 2 players had kicked 9+ goals on the same day since Chief & Plugger in 1996
That day in '96 Lockett played against North Melbourne, and Dunstall played against Adelaide

Last Round 2022 - Last-placed North Melbourne host Gold Coast Suns. The Kangaroos are expected to be buoyant after signing a superstar premiership coach (Alistair Clarkson) but instead put in a poor performance that consigns North to last on percentage from the Eagles, despite West Coast's heavy defeat by Geelong the same day.
Last Round 2023 - Last-placed North Melbourne host Gold Coast Suns. The Suns are expected to be buoyant after signing a superstar premiership coach (Damien Hardwick) but instead put in a poor performance against the Kangaroos, which allows North to climb up from the bottom of the ladder on percentage and consign West Coast after a heavy loss to Adelaide to the 2023 wooden spoon.

Mildly interesting coincidence.
Isaac Smith’s undeniable best performance for the season in both 2022 and 2023 occurred in his team’s last game.
FWIW his R24 2023 performance was his equal career high for disposals with 36.
So he should rescind his retirement?

Not an amazing coincidence but still a fun fact.
St Kilda's last final in Melbourne (2011) was a 6th v 7th elimination final against Sydney, as will be th case in two weeks time.
Though I suspect this game will be at the MCG rather than Docklands.

Depends how tonight's game ends up. Going early and ruling out GWS?
Apparently so. I thought they were on 44 points.
You can change it now

Hardly amazing - more an omen - but my Pies supporting mate is hanging onto the hope that Collingwood wins premierships after suffering a late H&A loss to Hawthorn:
It almost holds true to 1958, but Collingwood beat Hawthorn 93-86 in a close Round 13 game that year.
My omen from 1958, 1990 & 2010 (and potentially 2023) is that Hawthorn has won a flag within 3 years of Collingwood winning their last three flags:
- 1990: Round 20, Hawthorn def. Collingwood 163-80
- 2010: Round 22, Hawthorn def. Collingwood 98-95
- 2023???: Round 21, Hawthorn def. Collingwood 105-73
It almost holds true to 1958, but Collingwood beat Hawthorn 93-86 in a close Round 13 game that year.
My omen from 1958, 1990 & 2010 (and potentially 2023) is that Hawthorn has won a flag within 3 years of Collingwood winning their last three flags:
- 1958 (C) & 1961 (H)
- 1990 (C) & 1991 (H)
- 2010 (C) & 2013 (H)

Are you telling me that it’s not a coincidence that they had your team song have that line AT THE SAME TIME!!!

In the modern 14+ team expansion era Melbourne and Carlton have met in September four times.
On every occasion the lower ranked team has been victorious.
1988 PF - Melbourne (5th) d Carlton (3rd)
1994 QF - Melbourne (7th) d Carlton (2nd)
2000 QF - Melbourne (3rd) d Carlton (2nd)
2023 SF - Carlton (5th) d Melbourne (4th)

Gotta add GWS to that list, now. Brisbane might also be another one, next week.
