Swampthing on Twitter has shown the odd stat that every leap year this century whoever is on top after round 1 goes on to win the flag:
2000 Essendon
2004 Port
2008: Hawthorn
2012: Sydney
2016: Western bulldogs
Magnificent stat ........ if we finish Rd 1 on top, otherwise the mantra will be that we write our own history / we buck the trend / play to our own hymn book.....
I know.Gws love early season kills.
My tip giants will slap the slow and old cats.
They will be tip top after round 1.
We will have our usual struggle with Carlton and get over them by 5 goals.
I can't remember the last time we have besten them by 10+ goals.
Round 7, 2005.Gws love early season kills.

I know.
*smile* me every year that they hang around. Would love nothing more than a 15 goal mauling.
I really can't see us being in tip top form early on.
I'm happy just getting wins. It was an interesting point Hardwick made during his press conference, that tthe Pies were having their third hit out (Carl, Geel, Us) while we were having our first.
It makes a massive difference.
We've aiming at being September Premiers. Let Buckley and his Pies claim the May premiership.

We’ve already proven that August form is way better than April form.I really can't see us being in tip top form early on.

Now here's a more odd stat. Don't know if anyone's noticed it, but Chokingwood has only won 2 flags in 62 years.....
And none of them were in September.Now here's a more odd stat. Don't know if anyone's noticed it, but Chokingwood has only won 2 flags in 62 years.....
