Dogs 40 down I believe in 99 vs crows and won

Maybe 38 points saints vs Swans 1994

Roos vs swans 2003 perhaps can't remember the margin

 

[Ricmel]

Maybe 38 points saints vs Swans 1994

And 51 points down at the 8 minute mark of the last quarter. Kicked 8.4 in the last 20 minutes of the game.

The Essendon v Melbourne come from behind I believe Melbourne kicked the first goal of the last quarter to make it 47 points early in the last.

I was at the 1992 Anzac Day game. Melbourne kicked the first goal of the final term to extend the margin to 47 points, which was, at the time, the biggest a team has trailed DURING the last quarter to win.

I think St.Kilda trailed Sydney by 48 points in 1994 early in the last quarter to beat it, in the match where Plugger cleaned up Peter Caven.

Pretty sure Saints trailed by 51 at about 8 minute mark of last.

I know, this is Just short of 3qt (24 min mark 3rd quarter) in 2008, Port Adelaide led Brisbane by 47 pts. Lost by 20. In the rain.

I stand to be corrected, but my memory was 48.

Not AFL, but I remember Glenelg coming back from 53 points down to beat Sturt in the 1986 Escort Cup. It's on YouTube.

59 actually.

11 goals to 2 down, 10.3 to 0.3 in the final quarter.

About a second after Jim West kicked that goal I punched my Glenelg supporting brother in a pre-emptive strike against any gloating.

 

[Pistol Night]

Staggered we aren’t dominating the top 10 chokes

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Interesting how Melbourne (2025) and Hawthorn's (1995) losses happened 4 years after they won the flag.

Ha, I just decided to watch this when I saw your post. Was not aware of it. Amazing.

48 I reckon

Correct.

17.6 (108) to 8.12 (60) with 16.20 to go in the final term. The Swans had kicked the opening two goals of the quarter.

After that, the Saints kicked 8.2 to 0.1 to win by a point.

I remember that day well - I was there. It was remarkable to witness.

Then went and played for the team of the cheer squad he tried to kill.
