Analysis 37.17.239

[Max Milburn]

New rules promised us a return to higher scoring.
So far, not much has progressed on that front.
Are we ever likely to see our long-standing record broken?
How many would Hawkins have to kick to be a part of 37.17.239 scoreline?

 

[Hamingja]

It's hard to say never given we got within 6 points of it against Melbourne in 2011.

With defensive structures it needs a poor team to want to put in a coachkiller and the opposition to be completely ruthless from siren to siren.

Perfect storm stuff but not impossible.

 

[Fyre]

The way Hawkins is going about it lately, he'd kick 4 and have 27 goal assists.

 

[Max Milburn]

I think Ablett kicked 9 in "that" game, and Paul Brown 6.

 

[goyoucatters]

You never say 'never', I suppose.

But it's as safe as the 119 in the AFL/VFL record books in my view.

Two very fitting records to hold for 'the greatest team of all'.

 

[Baudolino]

We would have broken it ourselves in 2011 had the lighting not gone out.

The games 20 minutes shorter now,that makes it hard.I was there for that it was like an old fashion country game,we were chatting with Billy over the fence in the goal square at times,John Hutton (who you say) kicked 8 goals straight for the Bears out of their 11 it was my boys introduction to the Cats and AFL footy,one special evening watching Ablett streaming forward off the wing.

Playing time for a quarter amended to 20 minutes plus time-on instead of 25 minutes plus time-on

From memory, it used to be 25mins plus 1min per goal scored

Nowadays it's 20mins uninterrupted play.

Goes to show how bloody good the 186 game was....

Was just thinking the same thing: with about 20 minutes less playing time we came within one goal of breaking the record. If both scores were averaged out to account for the difference in time, the 186 game is actually a better achievement than the 239 game

Equaled the goals with less time, and played the last 10 minutes in the dark.
I'm pretty sure the vfl team kicked 25+ goals aswell, I wonder if that's a record with them combined (same day same ground).

Would absolutely have to come close, according to the results the 2's kicked 31 goals, totalling 68 for the day.

I'm not sure if anyone's ever gone through the stats and added up the 2's and seniors goals from the one day actually. Might be hidden somewhere in an AFL Season Guide book

Wow. That actually makes our Melbourne game a few years back all the more impressive, don't you think? That game was my favourite thing I've ever seen in a H&A season. A team playing at 100% verse one at 0%.

 

[thecatattack]

It would have to be a full strength Geelong/Richmond/GWS going hard for the whole game against a depleted Carlton to get close.

 

[Frank Bunn]

35.12.222 was one of my most favourite games that I've attended.

 

[scottydeewah]

I have the DVD of this game!

 

[scottydeewah]

Oh and also this. My favourite thing beyond Ricardi's haircut and Wills giant ****ing head is that Blighty is wearing a playing uniform. I always throughout baseball was the only game where the coach (manager) rolled out in full playing kit. I wonder if he had the shorts and boots on too!

 

[scottydeewah]

Goddamn Wills has a giant head!

Went on to have a short lived film career: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/93/Coneheads_Poster.jpg/220px-Coneheads_Poster.jpg

 

[Catman]

Averaging 160pts a game after 6 rounds! Those were the days, but ultimately, the inability to stop opposing sides probably prevented us from winning that elusive flag.

Bairstows too lol.

 

[scottydeewah]

Hhaha Bairstow looks like they stuck a face on three bricks! (he is just sitting REALLY close to the camera. Perhaps he actually has a tiny head?!

Injured.No Couch either,it could have been a big win.

Nowadays it's 20mins uninterrupted play.

Back in the 25 minute quarter days the clock didn't stop when the ball went out of bounds or the umpire called a ball up. The only time the clock stopped was when there was a score or when the umpire signaled time-on.
