Im wondering if someone can place any stats on the game here

like lowest score since....... (for both Freo, and the AFL)
and some other random stuff. For example, I heard Freo had the lowest inside 50s but I didnt hear a timeframe, so i was wondering if anyone out there could help with that.
etc. (nothing comes to mind now that I want to know, but surely there would be alot of statistical records broken this round)
oh, as well. Im wondering what team this season has kept their opposition goal less in the most quaters (and could someone find out the quantity for all teams)

It was the lowest score since Richmond kicked only eight behinds against St. Kilda at the Junction Oval on 12 August, 1961. It is notable that the weather was completely dry that day and the ground would have been very firm, but Richmond actually had two nearly-as-bad failures in dry weather in 1958:
  1. 2.9 (21) against Carlton at Princes Park
  2. 2.11 (23) against Footscray at the Western Oval (see here for two remarkable parallels in 1979 and 1989)
A book on the history of VFL finals said that it was wet only once in the home-and-away season and that had to have been Round 6 judging from 17mm of rain having fallen. However, The Age said that the grounds were slippery and conditions cold and very windy on the day of the Carlton game, so it was probably not as bad as the Tigers’ 1961 disaster, though the Footscray game was inasmuch as the Bulldogs won only five other games in 1958.

The 1957 game referred to above — between St. Kilda and Melbourne — featured a score by the Saints of 1.5 (11) against Melbourne's 6.13 (49). The ground certainly would have been wet since rain had fallen for several days, so Melbourne's feat cannot count as being as good as St. Kilda's.

Was just watching the highlight reel for this game... Game never to be forgotten.

No doubt about that - and it took me a while to realise why it will be remembered long after most games in 2009 are forgotten!

Fremantle’s forward line was inept - no doubt about that - but the Crows’ defence for all the tiny scores it held weak opponents to was masterable as Geelong showed in the fourth round with 21-8 (134) and several other sides did to a lesser extent.

Since Fremantle's score of 1.7 in 2009, there have been 5 scores with as few or fewer scoring shots - but fortunately with better accuracy.​

Port Adelaide's 6 scoring shots against Collingwood in round 20, 2011 were the least since Geelong's 3.3 v St Kilda 14.15 in round 12, 1971.

In 2009 there were 3 scores with 8 or fewer scoring shots, the equal most in a season (along with 2011, 1971, 1964 and 1963) since 4 in 1920.

St. Kilda in 1961 were previously the last team to achieve this feat:
  1. Round 8 v South Melbourne
    • this was the match where Eric Guy famously steamrolled Bob Skilton
    • the Swans finished with 5-16 (46)
  2. Round 10 v Footscray
    • the Bulldogs finished with 4-13 (37)
  3. Round 16 v Richmond
    • the Tigers finished with 0-8 (8), the only goalless score since 1921
    • The Age said that whilst on a wet, heavy ground Richmond could worry a lot of teams, on a warm, dry day and dry ground the Tigers were plainly too slow to be remotely competitive
  4. Remarkably, these three games were the only times the Saints kept an opponent goalless to half-time between Round 11, 1923 and Round 8, 1995
Footscray’s champion 1953 defence, who conceded only 959 points in 18 games (the lowest average between 1921 and 2019, admittedly on generally wet and heavy grounds) kept four teams goalless to half-time:
  1. Round 4 v Melbourne
    • the Demons finished with 4-6 (30)
  2. Round 5 v Fitzroy
    • the Lions were scoreless until 20 minutes into the final quarter and finished with 1-0 (6), the lowest score since 1899
  3. Round 10 v North Melbourne
    • the Kangaroos, who at the time trailed the Bulldogs only by percentage, finished with 3-7 (25)
  4. Round 14 v Hawthorn
    • the Hawks finished with 3-10 (28)
I am pretty definitive without checking that since 1919 no other team has kept four opponents goalless to half-time. The most total cases in a season since 1919 is only five in 1953 and 1956.
