Closest round ever?

[Jeebus]

A total of 98 points separated all the teams this week..is this the closet round ever?

It was a very entertaining round in the end. Wish every week was like this.

 

[the_big_sav]

there was a round in 93/94 where it was similar to this round 4-5 games under 6 points and the other 3-4 under 25points

Round 1, 2001 had four games on the Saturday decided by a total of 16 points. Rest of the round blew it out though.

Great round of footy.

 

[Funkalicous]

It was a beauty!

Has been a great one, and I don't see why all these people are complaining about the Pies vs Crows game, got very exciting in the second half and reminded a lot of us why McLeod could win a brownlow.

 

[meh]

certainly was a great round, made even better by the crows getting up in a close one

...And if the Dogs had of kept their last-quarter run going, it might have been even closer.

Friday and Saturday margins: 1, 1, 10, 1, 10
Sunday margins: 17, 105, 43

Would've been close IF it wasn't for Melbourne and Geelong's hidings of Carlton and Adelaide respectively.

In terms of average margin it was the lowest since round 20, 1975, where in 6 matches the aggregate margin was 66 points.

In the 8 matches-a-round era, the previous lowest aggregate was 110 points in round 12, 1995.

I feel lucky to have picked 7 winners then!

 

[Funkalicous]

It was a close round but a lot of favourites came through.

very very close, some games to close for comfort really. eg. crows n collingwood, port n lions, carlton n bombers.
