Match Summary

The 1904 Grand Final was a memorable one for Norwood who were down by 35 points at three-quarter time against traditional rival Port Adelaide. Norwood then produced an extraordinary burst of football with a goal by centre half forward Dean Dawson followed by two goals each from full forward, Bill Miller and half forward flanker, Stan Robinson. Norwood was only two points down with a minute remaining. Tommy Gibbons held a mark on a seemingly impossible angle. His kick sailed through the goal posts to give Norwood a four-point victory 9.8 to 8.10.

gollark: Based on my extremely unscientific benchmarks, markdown-it would be about twice as fast, but it's not really as customizable, doesn't produce a parse tree I can use for stuff, and produces HTML directly, which is not ideal.
gollark: I disabled an extension for *tab counting* which was apparently insanely inefficient and got a 150ms saving, though.
gollark: Mayhapß™ I should just use a background thread thing (browsers can totally™ do that) for markdown handling.
