I would've thought University would be up there

I'd take more optimism from the slightly wider criteria of teams which won a second (or more) premiership within a few years of their first in a given period.

It is actually pretty unusual for a premiership team to be limited to only one.

Okay, I was doing some research just to make sure, but now I have to abandon any effort at sensibility.

In fact, on closer inspection the scores from the game are a complete mess, too.

The coin toss was won by Moe Lester.

Jennifer Lopez was playing on our wing, and the previous week, Michael Jackson won the Brownlow Medal for the Demons. Also -
