The lowest I have seen was a year or so ago between West Coast and Hawthorn. Don't think anyone kicked a goal until the last quarter.

In fact the first quarter was 8 behins (4 for each team). One of the wierdest, but exciting footy match I've ever seeb,
Not in the AFL/VFL. 24 times teams have been goalless, but never have they won.
On 4 occasions a team scoring 1 goal has won:-
Essendon 1.8 (14) d. Melbourne 0.8 (8) - Round Robin Final 1897
Geelong 1.9 (15) d. Melbourne 0.10 (10) -Round 9 1897
Essendon 1.9 (15) d. South Melbourne 0.9 (9) -Round 3 1899
Essendon 1.13 (19) d. South Melbourne 2.4 (16) -Round 6 1897
West Coast 0.8 0.12 2.16 5.21 (51) vs. Hawthorn 0.4 2.7 3.13 5.16 (46).
A very strange game, this one!

Cheers for that mate, it's always weird seeing such low scoring matches.
1925-1938, there were free kicks against the last player to touch the ball before it went out of bounds and no boundary throw-ins. (Introduced to reduce congested play.)
Towards the end of 1930s it was believed that scoring had become too easy and that there were too many scoring and margin 'blow-outs', so the out of bounds rule was reverted to only for deliberately putting the ball out and throw-ins were re-introduced. Significantly dry seasons saw high scoring continue for part of the early 1940s.
Indeed!
- 12: The highest first quarter aggregate ever without a goal being scored. Previous 11 points round 3, 2006 Port Adelaide 0.5 v Nth Melbourne 0.6. Next most: 10 points on 6 occasions - between 1906 and 1989.
- 8: West Coast's highest and the equal 2nd highest number of behinds ever recorded in a 1st quarter without a goal. Highest: 0.11 by Fitzroy v Collingwood round 7, 1970 and 0.11 by Nth Melbourne v WB/Footscray round 18, 1931. 0.8 in the first quarter has been recorded 16 times previously from 1906 - most recently before this match, round 19, 2009 - WB/Footscray 0.8 v West Coast.
- 12: West Coast's and the 2nd highest half-time tally of behinds without a goal ever recorded. Highest Hawthorn 0.14 v Fitzroy 8.13 round 7, 1979. The previous 2nd highest, 0.11 has occurred 6 times the first being Fitzroy 0.11 v Carlton 1.3 in round 1, 1897 and the most recent St Kilda 0.11 v Carlton 10.11 round 2, 1985.
- 2.19: The 2nd highest number of behinds scored to half-time in a match with only 2 goals. Most: 2.20 round 14, 1910 - Carlton 0.11 v Fitzroy 2.9-21.
- 29: The most behinds ever scored in a match for only 5 goals by 3/4 time. Previous: 5.27 round 1, 1906 - Fitzroy 5.19 v St Kilda 0.8.
- 37: The most behinds scored in a match where 10 goals were scored. Previous: 10.33 round 2, 1919 - St Kilda 5.18 b Collingwood 5.15. (Also the most behinds with the fewest goals ever scored in a match. Most behinds with 9 goals - 35, round 15 1922 - Carlton 5.19 v St Kilda 4.16.)
- West Coast's 5.21 is the 2nd worst goal/behind ratio from 26 scoring shots ever recorded. Worst: Essendon 3.23 round 6, 1901.
- The only match ever where both teams kicked 5 goals and 16 or more behinds.

The fewest goals with the most behinds by a team scoring the same amount in both halves of a match.

Looking at that bottom one reminded me of one I wanted to ask RR - what's the biggest discrepancy of scoring shots between a winning and a losing side, with the losing side having more?
That's badly worded, actually, basically I just want to know the games where the losing side had a heap (the most, if you can dig it up) more scoring shots than the winning side.
I've been thinking about how much inaccuracy kills recently so I'm curious! Sorry if it's already been asked, I have read through the thread but not for a while now...

That famous game back in the 20's i think with Geelong 19.8.122 defeating Fitzroy by 83 points, who scored an incredible 2.27.39!! Doubt there's been a more inaccurate score with as few as two goals.

Wowee! Can't even begin to think what that game would have been like to watch...
The greatest surplus in scoring shots by a losing team is 15 more.
Round 4 1957: Fitzroy 10.31-91 lost to Richmond 16.10-106
Round 16 1977: Collingwood 12.25-97 lost to Geelong 16.6-102 (Collingwood was 1st on the ladder - Geelong 9th)
Lost with 14 more scoring shots:
Round 5 1961: Hawthorn 9.21-75 lost to Essendon 12.4-76
Round 17 1976: Collingwood 11.27-93 lost to Geelong 15.9-99 (As a better team Collingwood went for the record next season - see above.)
Most in the 21st century - 12 (2001-2013 round 6).
Round 17 2002: Geelong 12.18-90 lost to Adelaide 15.3-93
Fitzroy's score in Round 6 1928 of 2.27 stands as the score with the most behinds to the fewest goals.
Geelong's winning margin in that match of 83 points is the most for a team with 2 fewer scoring shots.
Next highest: 53 points round 18 2010 - Geelong 20.5-125 v Sydney 9.18-72.
The reader will note how many times Geelong appears in these records. Why that is so, I don't think can be ascertained beyond time in the competition and co-incidence.
It's probably been highlighted already in this thread, but i was just perusing the 1976 season's scores, and noticed Essendon and Fitzroy played a game in Rd 11, with this amazing scoreline especially for the Bombers.
Fitz: 4.5.29.....7.6.48.....10.12.72.....16.14.110
Ess: 1.6.12....11.10.76...12.16.88.....13.22.100
Essendon lost, kicking 10.4.64 in the 2nd quarter, yet managed to kick 1.6.12 in each of the other three quarters! What an odd way to compile a score of 100 points!
Fitz: 4.5.29.....7.6.48.....10.12.72.....16.14.110
Ess: 1.6.12....11.10.76...12.16.88.....13.22.100
Essendon lost, kicking 10.4.64 in the 2nd quarter, yet managed to kick 1.6.12 in each of the other three quarters! What an odd way to compile a score of 100 points!
That's a beauty! Essendon's score in that match is the 2nd highest recorded by a team that scored 64 percent or more of their total score in one quarter - but the three 1.6 quarter scores makes it the real stand-out.
The highest score with 64% or more of the total score in one quarter is this:
Footnote: 13.22 has occurred 27 times as a way of achieving 100 points.
It occurred 8 times 1972-78 including Hawthorn's 1976 winning Grand Final score.
It has been seen only once since 1996 - Adelaide 13.22-100 v Melbourne 7.4-46 - round 19, 2005.
The first time it occurred was also against Melbourne - Carlton 13.22-100 v Melbourne 7.4-46 - round 12, 1910.
13.21 has been seen 29 times - first by Geelong against Melbourne 6.6-42 - round 1, 1910 and last in round 14, 2011 - Collingwood v Sydney 14.9-93.
13.23 has only been scored 9 times - first by Melbourne v Richmond 14.11-95 - round 12, 1934 and last in round 15, 2012 - Richmond 13.23-101 v Melbourne 11.12-78.
Count how many time Melbourne has participated in these records.

That game was a beauty of itself: the Redlegs, who had won only three games in 1933, upset second-placed Richmond after being five goals down halfway through the third quarter.
At half-time the score was Melbourne 3-11 (29) to Richmond 7-9 (51), and at three-quater time it was Melbourne 6-21 (57) to Richmond 12-10 (82), but by moving Jones to the centre and La Fontaine to centre half-forward Melbourne were able to get enough of the ball to kick seven goals against the champion Tiger backline to kick the sole century score against Richmond for the season. Richmond were not to lose another game all season - and had so many class defenders that Joe Murdoch, who at that point had not kicked a goal in 146 games, played the finals at half forward and kicked five of only six career goals.
This game has an important place in Melbourne’s history as the game that began their rise from the doldrums (seven wins in 36 games in 1932 and 1933) to three consecutive flags in 1939, 1940 and 1941. One thing that people should note is that their 1940 team was the only one of the really record-breaking attacks to actually win the flag, and that it did so on a wet day in an infamous drought year across Australia (à la 1982 and 2002).
Another amazing thing was that South Melbourne, against Collingwood, won each quarter by twelve points:
Code:
July 28, 1934, Victoria Park
Collingwood 3-5 (23) 5-9 (39) 10-16 (76) 13-19 (97)
South Melbourne 5-5 (35) 9-9 (63) 17-10 (112) 21-19 (145)
Margin 12 24 36 48

I remember back as a boy watching Essendon v St.kilda out at Waverley and Essendon dominated play for most of the day but ended up loosing by 3 or 4 goals. Plugger kicked a huge bag and at one point had St.kilda at 18.2.110. Was in tears that day.
The highest percentage a team has ever recorded is 771.4 by Fitzroy in 1904. This was, predictably enough, after Round 1 that season, so I figure it stands to reason the team with the lowest ever percentage has to be their opponents from that match, who were Carlton. The scoreline of 108 to 14 left Carlton with a percentage of 13.0.

Actually, 18-2 (110) was St. Kilda's final score, and Lockett actually kicked "only" six; the score of the game is here. Craig O'Brien, discarded by Essendon after a couple of games, kicked four from seven kicks to beat his former club; he was later to join Lockett at the Swans, but played his best football in a Saint jumper with 116 goals in 52 games over three seasons.
I have a few memories of that game, coming as it did after a terrible streak of form by the Saints during which Lockett had been suspended for eight weeks after hitting Sydney's Peter Caven.
