Herr Spelly,

Have we ever previously seen a Norwood v Port fixture where both teams come to the game as the bottom two teams on the ladder?

No. Prior to the past three rounds, there had been only three occasions where Port and Norwood occupied the bottom two spots on the ladder. Rounds 3 and 4 1920 and Round 4 2004.

Thanks Spelly, you never disappoint.

Has there ever been a combination that hasn't been bottom and second bottom. Given the paucity of wooden spoons how often have North and Port been bottom and second bottom?

Round 2 1920, Rounds 3 and 4 1941, Round 2 1979, Rounds 2 and 3 2003.

It appears everyone has, apart from Eagles and a few clubs.

I agree with Pseudo, you are unbelievable.

Interestingly in 1920, North went on to win the flag. I guess anything can happen in the early rounds.

Therefore has Port and North ever played each othwe when they were second bottom and bottom?

Yes, in Round 3 1920.
