Hi all,

Not claiming that it's "rare" or anything, just wondered though - when was the last time that both lower ranked teams won in the first week of the finals?

And how often?

I thought South were 4th?

Were they?

Well there you go!
Aren't I the fool.

Don't worry mate, someone else will bugger something up within 20 minutes!

Ok, so ignoring my ignorant comment about THIs year - when WAS the last time that both 5th and 3rd won the first week of the finals ?

Dunno about the last time, but in 1991 West (5th) beat Port and North (3rd) beat the Eagles in week 1 of the finals.

2001 - Norwood (5th) beat West (4th) and Eagles (3rd) beat Port (2nd)

It also happened in 1983 - North (5tth) beat South (4th) and Norwood (3rd) beat Sturt (2nd)
Also 1980 - Norwood (5th) beat Torrens (4th) and Sturt (3rd) beat Glenelg (2nd)
And 1976 - Norwood (5th) beat West (4th) and Glenelg (3rd) beat Sturt (2nd)
