The Statistics Thread

[X_box_X]

With his two contested marks on Saturday, [PLAYERCARD]Rory Lobb[/PLAYERCARD] moves into the top 30 of all time for contested marks.

Libba needs another 9 contested possessions to surpass the 3,000 mark. He currently sits 20th all time in that stat.

Speaking of 9 contested possessions, that's how many Bont got on Saturday and with that he moves into the top 30 of all time in that stat.

Each time Footscray/Western Bulldogs have beaten the reigning premier
(currently 40 instances)

Bizarre how there was only one occurrence in each of our premiership decades - 1950's and 2010's

 

[worbod]

Failed to make the finals this season, but it was a good year for kicking centuries.

Most Bulldog century scores in a season:

17 2008, 2009
16 2005
15 1992
14 1985, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2025
13 1999, 2006
12 1997, 2010
11 1978, 1980, 1983
10 1946, 1977, 2002, 2011

Interesting that neither of our flag or GF years feature in that list and yet 2008 and 09 where we finished the mythical top 4 are where we flogged everyone except the teams that mattered.

Now they might be 9 times just off the list but what does it tell you

Most of the 1950s to mid-1960s became a low-scoring era, with no individual century goalkickers between 1953 and 1967. We kicked only 4 centuries in 1954, with Melbourne kicking the most that season with 6. In 1961 we kicked 3 centuries and only Melbourne made it to 4. We kicked 7 in 2016 and 9 in 2021.

The top 3 teams in 08/09 were far superior than 16/21 top 3.

Great work! But also wanted to highlight this isn't all the games played by our club, as we played VFA Reserves (designated juniors and the 'Junior Football Association' before 1925, and won three of those flags too, e.g.

FOOTBALL - JUNIOR FOOTBALL FINAL. FOOTSCRAY (7.8) BEAT WILLIAMSTOWN (3.16). - Leader (Melbourne, Vic. : 1862 - 1918, 1935) - 12 Oct 1918

A large crowd assembled to witness the grand final of the Junior Football Association season on Saturday, when Footscray, having as minor premiers the right of challenge, met ...
