No sides in the #AFL era that have played against each other in round 1 (or in Opening Round) have gone on to meet again in that year's Grand Final
In 2025, BRIS and GEEL were scheduled for opening round but the match was moved to round 3
WBD have not finished a H&A season sitting in either the bottom 4 or the top 4 since 2013
12 seasons is the longest ever streak by any V/AFL club to not finish a H&A season within four spots of either end of the ladder
