There was a funny game in the WAFL yesterday, Subiaco vs Swan Districts, half time Subi were leading by 24, Swans then dominated the 3rd quarter 8 goals to 1 I think, then in the 4th Subi kicked 9 goals to 2 to win by 20 points.

I vaguely remember a VFA game several years back (prior to the VFL merge) where one side kicked 18.1 for the game. Pretty sure Preston was involved (seem to remember Jamie Shaw appearing). The game was on the ABC.
The thing was, they got done (26-something to 18.1) but at the 29-minute mark of the last 1/4 their score was 18.0.
And I'm pretty sure it was an ugly rushed behind that spoiled it.
Anybody else remeber this?

In Round 4, 2005, Geelong played Essendon at Telstra Dome. From memory, Essendon led by 20 Points, 9.6 (60) to 5.10 (40); deep into the Third Quarter. Geelong quickly turned this around to lead by something like 22 Points at Three Quarter Time, and then proceeded to Thrash the Bombers by 56 Points; 19.17 (131) to 11.9 (75).

This happened in the SANFL on the weekend inbetween North and Sturt, but i was wondering when the last time a team in the AFL was held goal less for 3 quaters.
And when the last time 1 player got all of the goals in the team, minimum 4 goals (I beleive it was Fevola a few years ago, but Im unsure with that one)

Round...10, I think, 1998 (I always try and test my knowledge and state it before I check ), on a Friday Night, WB vs WCE at the WACA.
WB opened the game with eight goals to none in the first quarter.
West Coast buttered up in the second term with...eight goals to none. The Eagles won by about 11 points, I think.
Edit: 13-points.
http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/1998/071819980529.html
Nearly had another instance of this on Friday night, when StK opened up with seven first term goals, before the Blues replied with six of their own (admittedly, both side's goaled in their 'down' quarters).

That one was at the MCG on a Saturday night.
Must admit with my previous post, I hadn't read past the OP. Damn. Apologies.

The melee also took place in 2000, in round three of the Ansett Cup, and then in round five or six, at the WACA (when Nathan Brown, I think, got done for shoving an umpire. Or maybe it was Gehrig? The umpire was Bryan Sheehan).
WCE vs Footscray/WB had an awesome rivalry from 94-00.

Very much a repeat of round 8, 2007, Hawks vs Saints on a Saturday night at the MCG.
The aforementioned was round five, 2002 on a Saturday night. Dal Santo had a chance after the siren with a torp but failed toscore.

One very strange case of scoring differences I have noted comes from the following two consecutive away games played by North Melbourne in 1966:
The most obvious parallel is the near-reversal of North Melbourne's goals and behinds in successive away games. They needed only to kick another goal against Fitzroy to produce an exact parallel!
Also remarkable is how, whereas both North Melbourne's opponents kicked ten goals, Richmond's ten goals were kicked by ten different players, whereas Fitzroy's ten were kicked by just three, with Gary Lazarus kicking seven.

Exact reversals of goal and behind tallies in a match are rare.
Not counting draws where each team scored the same number of goals and behinds, there have been only 55 such matches. The only one in 2009 was the semi final, Collingwood 12.11 v Adelaide 11.12.
In 2008 there was only one, Sydney 12.11 v West Coast 11.12. In 2007 there were none.
The last year where there was more that one occurrence was 1981, round 6, Sydney 15.13 v St Kilda 13.15 and the elimination final, Fitzroy 16.13 v Essendon 13.16.
The only year where there was more than 2 was 1954. Hawthorn 14.13 v Geelong 13.14, Collingwood 12.10 v Footscray 10.12, Nth Melbourne 14.11 v Sth Melbourne 11.14.
The highest score has been St Kilda 19.14 v Hawthorn 14.19 round 1 1979.
Adelaide and Port Adelaide are yet to win a match where their goals equaled their opponents behinds and their behinds equaled their opponents goals. Collingwood have won 9, Geelong only 1.

^Tough one...
It's got to be something about inaccuracy?
I remember our kicking in 2007 was shocking, especially early in the season.

now that is very suprising.... if someone had've asked me how often this happens, off the top of my head i would've said about 4 or 5 times a season on average
Neither inaccuracy nor accuracy.

My favourite is Collingwood's back to back wins against the previous 2 premiers in 2008.
Geelong (2007 premiers) = 86 point win
West Coast (2006 premiers) = 100 point win
= 92 point win average back to back against the 2 previous premiership sides. Pretty decent effort by any standard and don't think that record will be threatened anytime soon somehow.

Here's an interesting parallel that I know is not likely to be equalled any time soon:
Although there are among the 143 drawn V/AFL games many pairs with the same scores where the number of goals was the same or differed by one, this pair is unique because one side had scored two fewer goals than the other. In fact, only seven draws where one side scored two goals fewer than the other have been played since 1897. The following game provides a remarkable parallel to the 1956 game because it was between the same two clubs at the same ground. Bob Skilton in fact played in both games, and made a heroic effort in the second one that is sufficient to make the following game a contender for the most memorable of the 136 drawn home-and-away games in V/AFL history. he kicked five goals playing with severe concussion in the second half - and further to add to a truly memorable game, Peter Bedford, another Brownlow winner, made his VFL debut with four goals.

Is it winning a "symettrical" game, where both teams kick the same number of goals and behinds in their respective scores? For example, using Geelong as an example, in Round 6 1992 they defeated Fitzroy 25.25-175 to 11.11-77.
The most recent example of such a game I could think of was North Melbourne's win over Melbourne in Round 17 2008, the Kangaroos defeating the Demons 14.14-98 to 10.10-70.
I wouldn't imagine these games, like mirror image games, would occur very often.
On the right track. But the last occurence was in 2007.
The same number of goals and behinds in respective scores has happened in 75 matches. Interestingly only 8 of them were draws. The round 17 2008 match is the most recent.

Exact same score (goals and behinds) in consecutive matches?
What is it that in the history of AFL/VFL matches:
Has only been done 23 times,
Has been done by Geelong the most but never by Adelaide, Brisbane, Fremantle, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, Richmond or St Kilda.
Was first done by Melbourne in 1901, last done by West Coast in 2007.
Has been done the most against St Kilda but never against Brisbane, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Fremantle, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, Richmond or West Coast.
Has Melbourne with the highest and lowest score in doing it.
Has had only 1 year when there was more than one occurrence.
Solution is here or here.
