Agree both Sturt & Norwood should be equal odds on favourites to play in the GF
Not often where the two teams that open the season also play in the last game of the season

I suspect that it has happened more times over history than would be expected by pure random chance, thanks to deliberate programming of better-performed teams in the early rounds.

Without looking, 2015 and 2016 are two such instances

Complete list is:
1903
1909
1910
1921
1931
1933
1939
1944
1959
1975
1977
1981
1982
2007
2014
2015
2016
2023
A mention for 1996 as well; Port had the bye in Round 1, then played Central in Round 2, who played in Round 1.

So how the hell did we get to the point where the AFL will have already played one game in effectively round 4 before a back hander is swiped in anger in the SANFL?

Personally I'm fine with the SANFL starting when it does. Starts to actually feel like footy season come the end of March into April.

If the AFL wishes to keep creeping towards summer and cricket season, so be it..
