It's like they have reinvented themselves.
Oh I'm sorry, I was told the Magpies were dead and there's a new team going around called Port Power Reserves. I guess they were wrong.

SimonH wrote:I thought that Zac Millbank's comment that "South has never won three finals in succession" could only be right in an artist's-impression kind of way. He meant that they'd never won 3 finals in a row in the one season, right? But on a quick look at the records it seems like he's absolutely right. South have not won any 3 finals in a row it's played across any timeframe, ever*.
Man, that's a lot of history to overcome. But this is the year for disregarding history. You can do it, South.
* Nerdy postscript: You had to win at least 2 in a row to win a flag under the final-4 system (as with the current final-5 system), and so after their 3 flags in the 20th century, South bombed out in their first final the next year in each of 1936, 1939 and 1965. The only time they've won their next final after winning a flag was in 1900 after the 1899 flag, but even that only amounted to 2 in a row—1899 was in the very early days of finals being played, and so South won the flag by winning just one final. (It was done by the bizarre system of South playing 2nd placed Norwood, losing, and then playing them again in the 'challenge final' the next week and winning; that was the whole finals series.) South went on to lose the 1900 GF, ending that winning streak at 2.

Great - that's how the finals series should work in future, with the two spots to be filled by wildcards given to the Crows and Power reserves teams.
