In round 2, 1980, Hawthorn kicked 10 behinds in the second quarter versus St Kilda. Then St Kilda kicked 10 behinds in the third quarter. Has any other game seen two teams kick 10 behinds in successive quarters?
That was the seventh and last occurrence.
Matches in which 10+ behinds were kicked in multiple quarters:

This one really confuses me. I just watched the 1st qtr of the Hawks v Cats QF where there was a comment made that the Cats hadn't laid a tackle in 12mins. When I went back to re-examine the footage though I saw literally dozens of tackles laid by various Geelong players. Really confusing! Is there some criteria about that isn't mentioned in this definition? Because by this definition if the player has the ball and is brought to the ground and then beset upon by 4 opposition players while he tries to release the ball then each of them should get a tackle stat attributed to them, should they not?

Commentators may have got it wrong.
I have discovered an instance of a 126 point lead being reduced to 84. It occurred in Round 18, 1982 when Richmond defeated Geelong 24.19 (163) to 11.13 (79). This extract is from the Record for the 1982 Preliminary Final, page 59:
"A side that storms home with a final burst of 8.6 to 2.0 must be worth a stake in the finals. Not so. The Cats merely used the last 20 minutes to give their score line a little respectability. After all they were in debt by 126 points before that final flurry."

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
I know this isn't pure statistics but could be an exploration using statistics (and I do not doubt it has been answered elsewhere but I could not find it).
Has anybody collated a table that taking into account resources (like footy spend etc) and past results, how often individual clubs SHOULD win a premiership?
For example Collingwood with their greater resources should be a 1 every 8 years team whereas the Bulldogs should be a 1 every 25 years team....just as an example.

If, for example, a team kicks a goal to go 42 points ahead at the 6 minute mark of the final quarter, and the next score comes four minutes later, would the official AFL/media policy be to state that the team were 42 points ahead at the 6 minute mark or at the 10 minute mark?
Both would be correct (although you might want to say at the 9 minute mark because at the 10 minute mark the score happened) so the media would just use whatever one has more impact - likely the latter.
I think it would depends on which was more convenient for the point they were making.
eg
Team A got the lead out to 42 points at the six minute mark of the last quarter and the match seemed over.
vs
Team B managed a remarkable comeback, they were 42 points down at the 10 minute mark before kicking 7 unanswered goals to draw the match.

A bit like FOW 3, 162, 162, 163...185 all out. Some journo's would report the side lost 8/23, others 9/23.
Alright, here is something different. In round 8, 1987, Brisbane Bears player Steve Reynoldson did what is known as a triple-double, wherein he achieved double figures for kicks, marks and handballs. His stats were 11 kicks, 11 marks, 11 handballs. Are there any higher triple-doubles, with the same number repeated three times?

I think I read somewhere on here that no starting-22 premiership winning side has ever played as the same 22 after their premiership win. Usually due to retirements, trades, injury and demotion.
However I notice that this off-season, none of the Hawks who played in the GF have left the club and the same 22 could conceivably line up again next year at some point.
When was the last time none of a premiership winning side left the club in the following off-season?

Only one team has been re-constituted in a different year - Bulldogs 2005 R10 => 2006 R1 & 2.

In 1977 Carlton spent 21 rounds in the final five only to be displaced in round 22. How many other teams have spent all season in the final 4/5/6/8 only to drop out after the final home and away round?
2013 - Essendon in the eight for the first 22 rounds, only to be relegated to 9th because of you-know-what
1947 - Collingwood in the four up to R18 but was knocked out by a 7-point loss to Essendon
In finals zone for all but two rounds:
Melbourne 1930
Fitzroy 1951
Collingwood 1954
North Melbourne 1959
Essendon 1963
Hawthorn 1972
Carlton 1992
Fremantle 2004

Who's played the most games where their only games were played in the 2nd half of the season?
I note Shane Biggs has 6 games.
All at the tail end of the season.

Was KB hitting the beaches of Côte d'Azur in June? This seems like a strange anomaly.
Possibly the preferred month for state games in the 60's and 70's.

That's awesome Ron. I only just thought of that weird question based on some weird things other people in here ask 
Fletcher could play 4 in April and 5 in May to take it to:
April - 86 Fletcher, 74 Tuck, 73 R.Harvey
May - 82 Bartlett, 81 Fletcher, 80 Tuck
Re Fletcher on Wednesday, I forgot the game against Geelong in '96. I was at that game in the pocket where Michael Long slipped as he kicked a goal. That was the comeback game for Bewick and he went crazy kicking 9 straight!
