Has there ever...?

[reggie]

Has there ever been a pair of teams that have played twice in the same season for a total margin of 1 point? Coll def Melb by 1 Point in Round 2 and then drew yesterday.

I'd be amazed if this has ever happened before

 

[worbod]

In 1978 Fitzroy twice defeated Hawthorn by one point.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Brisbane and Port Adelaide played three times over 1997/98 for a total margin of two points.

Game One - 2 Points
Game Two - Draw
Game Three - Draw

One point behind sits Geelong and the Bulldogs who played twice in 2006 for two one-point margins (one each way).

 

[anti_]

west coast/sydney played 3 times in 2006 for a margin of 2 points.

they also played 6 times from 2005-2007 for a margin of 3 points.

surely nothing like that will ever happen again, especially in finals.

Also wonder how many teams have had one 1pt win, one 1pt loss and a draw in the same season.

You can add a draw against Melbourne to Geelong's 2006 record for your first example.

Solved that question. Our last draw too - this one has been well quicker than average too given that the last three before it were 1971, 1992, 2006.

[Supermercado]

At least the two nervous breakdowns I've suffered at games against the Pies this year have helped propel us into history. That's something to remember when the resultant heart attack kicks in five years later.

Another thriller run happened in the 1920's between Melbourne and Richmond

R2 1922: Melb won by 3
R11 1922: Rich won by 3
R1 1923: Rich won by 5
R10 1923: Rich won by 5
R7 1924: Rich won by 4
R 16 1924: Rich ends the streak by 46 points
