    Most accurate scoring by both teams in same game

    In the VFA, the highest accuracy I found occurred in a Division Two match played on 21 April 1985: Oakleigh 26.7 (163) vs. Dandenong 24.8 (152), an accuracy of 76.92% Perhaps this is also the best accuracy rate anywhere for a game where both teams scored over 150 points! For the top division...

    Victorian Football Association (VFA) results and ladders

    I have recently updated the VFA Season 1887 page on my website with a few Ballarat results that were outstanding, sourced from recent additions to Trove. With this done, I am fairly confident my site contains the first complete record of all VFA matches for seasons 1877 to 1896 ever published...

    Article 'History of the AFL could be turned on its head'

    My VFA site has recently expanded to start covering post-1897 seasons in detail, with more to come. I also have the data to create a similar site for the NSW Sydney comp, which will be a future project.

    Pre-VFL statistics and history thread

    - I checked The Age (20 July 1885 edition) and found the reserves match final score listed as "Essendon second 1 goal 9 behinds v. Melbourne second 5 behinds." The Argus similarly states the result as "Essendon v Melbourne (second), won by the former by 1 goal 9 behinds to 5 behinds". So I think...

    Victorian Football Association (VFA) results and ladders

    For seasons on my website where only the ladders and final results appear, and not the home & away results (ie from 1898 onwards), I assumed ladders in the Argus/Age were correct if the points for and against reconciled. Only for seasons where there were discrepancies (which was about 50% of...

    Victorian Football Association (VFA) results and ladders

    The short answer is a new coach (Ron Brown) and a few good recruits, including a full-forward (Hugh Litchfield) who kicked 100+ goals in 1985 and 1986. It was quite a turnaround for Sunshine, as they managed just 6 wins (and 65 losses!) from 1981 to 1984, but managed to reach the finals each...
