Uncanny Scores/Margins...

[SnappyTom]

An uncanny set of scores and margins this weekend...

Fos Williams passed away prior to the Centrals vs Port Qualifying final in 2000 - margin was 73 points against Port.
Von Willams passed away earlier this week prior to Port vs North at Alberton - margin was 74 points against Port.

Swans last night - 73.
Bombers last night - 74. (we can blame the one point discrepency on Westies Reserves side)

Lions last night - 73.
Tigers last night - 73.

All means nothing, but I was a bit fascinated by how uncanny the numbers all were in relation to 73 and 74.

I guess the Eagles are destined to go back-to-back this season - The then Eagles won the flag in 1933, 73 years prior to 2006, 74 years prior to 2007!

So if the Eagles win it this year, We might get it next year!

Yep, I did note that 1934 would buck any long-term, deep-and-meaningful trend.
Mark Williams did coach you lot at one stage, maybe that's where the Bays link resides...

73....a great year

I thought Fos died in 2001 - I remember the Power smacked West Coast by 20 goals the game after he passed away (round 22 2001 I believe).

Phew, took a while for someone to correct it!
Yep, he actually passed away on 1 September 2001. Centrals never played Port in the finals that season.

But the 73 and 74's were good to get on a roll!

And yes, West Coast were pumped directly after.
