Does anyone have any more examples of games where a team recovered from a sizable deficit to win by a big margin?

Some I have are as follows; are there any more like this, perhaps even more spectacular?

Round 6 1991: Sydney Swans lead North Melbourne by 36-points in the 2nd term of a high-scoring game, but lose their way in the second half, and go down by 54-points, 27.26-188 to 21.8-134

Round 7 1992: The Adelaide Crows jump St Kilda early at Moorabbin to lead by 26 points late in the first term, but the Saints peg them back and go on to win by 74-points, 21.13-139 to 9.11-65.

Qualifying Final 1992: The Bulldogs are 34-points up and running hot against Geelong in the second quarter of the Qualifying Final, but not only do the Cats catch them, they win a high-scoring game by 61-points, 26.16-172 to 17.9-111.

Round 9 2003: Carlton lead the Brisbane Lions by 33-points at Princes Park in the second term, but when the final siren sounds it brings a 77-point win to the Lions, with the Queenslanders having outscored the Blues by 110-points from that deficit to win 23.15-153 to 11.10-76.

This isn't precisely what you've asked for, but the .txt files I've included here show the top 200 or so wins from a 1/4 time, 1/2 time and 3/4 time deficit, ranked in order of how big the deficit was. The files are tab-delimited so able to be imported easily into Excel, and then played around with.

Some good examples that match your criteria are:-
Round 13 1933: Richmond trail North Melbourne at 1/4 time by 28 points but ultimately win by 75 points.
Round 12 1983: Essendon trail Sydney at 1/4 time by 26 points but win by 73.
Round 7 1976: Carlton trail Richmond at 1/4 time by 35 points but win by 71.
Round 1 1991: Collingwood trail Footscray at 1/4 time by 30 points but win by 70.
Round 5 1946: Footscray trail Melbourne at 1/4 time by 32 points but win by 61.
Round 1 1977: North Melbourne trail Hawthorn at 1/4 time by 32 points but win by 60.

Round 6 - 1977 Essendon v Footscray at Windy Hill

QTR time score- Ess 6-6 42 Foot 5-1 31

Final Score - Ess 13-11 89 Foot 29-15 189

An even 100 point win to the Dogs at Windy Hill- amazing

My question is - is that the only time in Essendons history that they got beaten by 100 points plus at Windy Hill

Yes this was the only 100 point defeat Essendon suffered at Windy Hill. Their next biggest was 96 points against Fitzroy in 1979.

Thanks for the replies Ron the Bear, 35Daicos & Redman Was Here; the Saints/Tigers game from 1980 is amazing.

I was going from memory, the lead might actually have been six goals. The Age's match report only mentions that Richmond began slowly before scoring four goals in the final seven minutes of the first quarter (St.Kilda led 7 goals to 5 at 1/4 time).

Dustin Fletcher (1993) ended the 2014 season with the most games of any active player (393.)
Simon Madden retired at the end of 1992 (debuting in 1974) with the most games of any active player (378.)

Who retired at the end of 1973 with the most games of any active player and what year did that player debut?

Also, can we go as far back as possible without any overlapping?

Perhaps when Mark Pennings gets around to publishing the last volume in his series, we'll be able to go further back.
 
Couldn't resist doing likewise for Most Goals Kicked.


The player who retired at the end of 2014 with the most goals of any active player was Jonathan Brown (Brisbane Lions: 594). He débuted in 2000.

The player who retired at the end of 1999 with the most goals of any active player was John Longmire (North Melbourne: 511). He débuted in 1988.

The player who retired at the end of 1987 with the most goals of any active player was Wayne Schimmelbusch (North Melbourne: 354). He débuted in 1973.

The player who retired at the end of 1962 with the most goals of any active player was Owen Abrahams (Fitzroy: 232). He débuted in 1954.

The player who retired at the end of 1953 with the most goals of any active player was Jack O'Rourke (Richmond: 134). He débuted in 1949.

The player who retired at the end of 1948 with the most goals of any active player was Sel Murray (North Melbourne & Richmond: 461). He débuted in 1937.

The player who retired at the end of 1936 with the most goals of any active player was Jack Green (Carlton & Hawthorn: 276). He débuted in 1929.

The player who retired at the end of 1928 with the most goals of any active player was Cliff Rankin (Geelong: 400). He débuted in 1915.

The player who retired at the end of 1914 with the most goals of any active player was Frank Caine (Carlton & Essendon: 180). He débuted in 1905.

The player who retired at the end of 1904 with the most goals of any active player was Bill McSpeerin (Fitzroy: 93). He débuted in 1897.


This particular collection of players does not provide too many huge totals (only two beyond 500 but none exceeding 600). Though of course if Tony Lockett (1360 goals) had not made that comeback in 2002 he would take Longmire's place.
