Back-to-back – under controversial circumstances
It is amazing how history aligns with itself. In VFL/AFL history, just two men have played in back-to-back premierships with different clubs. Each of those men transferred from one club to another under controversial circumstances.
Tom Fitzmaurice - one of the two men
Lance Buddy Franklin has the chance to become the third. His transfer caused outrage. With history as a guide, Hawthorn will lose the grand final to Sydney.
The Sydney Extra$
It was like fighting Mike Tyson at his peak. It was like facing the West Indies at their peak. It was like cycling in the Tour de France against a drugged-up Lance Armstrong. It was like trying to eliminate the Corleone family.
Extra$ money, anyone?
It was as hopeless as Luke Skywalker facing Darth Vader the first time. It was embarrassing like Daryll Cullinan getting out to Shane Warne again. It was as pointless as winning the opening set in a major against Roger Federer.
