Satan loved your post
Geelong/Sydney encounters are on a four game run of all containing firsts and/or record breaking occurrences.
In R2 2022 there was the Lance Franklin 1,000th goal which was the first thousandth goal since 1996. The break in play from the crowd swarming the SCG led to what I assume is the longest quarter ever of 61 minutes and 35 seconds.
The next Cat/Swan game was the 2022 GF which was the first time these two original 1897 teams were meeting in the last game of the year.
R6 2023 was a 93 point Geelong victory which gave the Swans their worst ever loss in the John Longmire era. In another twist John Longmire coached the Swans to the biggest loss Geelong has experienced under Chris Scott - R11 2014 which Sydney won by 110.
Lastly R16 2023 was a drawn game which was the first time it happened in a battle between these two 1897 clubs. It had also previously been the last combination of OG teams to refrain from playing in a draw.
What will happen tomorrow?

17 years from 2015 is 2032. They'll win another one in 2037 if history goes by
There are two identical twins (that phrase is not a tautology in this rare instance) in the AFL called Ben (King and McKay) who are exactly 202cm.
FYI FWIW Max King is also 202cm but Harry McKay is smaller than his brother at “just” 200cm despite being the much larger twin at birth. Their mother Tracey telling The Sunday Age “And the first baby wasn’t getting its nutrients. So the surgeon decided that was it. We’ll get them out now. Ben was quite tiny and Harry was quite huge.”

David King..."Their the 5th ranked team in the history of the game to be 3rd on inside 50's with a average age of 24 or less to have scores from turnovers over 32.5 points per game...it's what they do"

That is just wrong on so many levels.
Especially as they are the sixth ranked, not 5th....

In 2024 in R13 Sydney beat Geelong by 30 after trailing by 35 and in R14 the Swans beat Adelaide by 42 after trailing by 23. Giving Sydney back-to-back 65 point turnarounds.

1. Swans on top of the ladder
And then
2. AFL announce no-notice chances to academy and father/son bidding.
Like clockwork
