Best percentage in second halves of any premier since 1929

Full credit to Ron The Bear

Looking at premiership teams only, Melbourne's performance does compare favourable with any in the last hundred years. (Scoring was low in the early years and percentages therefore inflated.)

Year	Club	Matches	Second halves won	For	Ag	%
1902	Coll	19	16	689	321	214.6
1899	Fitz	18	13	392	200	196.0
1908	Carl	20	15	609	337	180.7

1898	Fitz	19	13	430	261	164.8

Best win record was Geelong 2016, 22 from 24 (3rd).

This is how this flag was won. As noted, percentages as a trend were much higher in the early days of the comp, across shorter seasons.

10 players played all 25 games this year, which has only been happened for a team on 17 occasions. Likely inflated by 1 given how many times JJ was sub.

we’re actually the only side on this list to win the flag

More of a fact than a record - we won a flag at Optus before we got to play Freo there.

That’s crazy though

Has a goal after the siren ever happened in a Grand Final before?
