We have finally finished our summer task of importing most if not all of the known Sporting Globe and Age pre 1965 game stats into AustralianFootball.com

From 1931-1933; 1934-1935 (finals only); 1936-1938; 1954-1955 (finals only) Sporting Globe recorded basic stats (kicks, handballs, marks, frees for and against) for one V/AFL game per week and generally all of the finals.

From 1957-1964 The Age recorded basic stats for the finals series.

So now there are an extra 190 odd games that now have basic player game stats that have never been easier to access online.

This also allows us to catch a glimpse at the career averages of the players from this era. For example Albert Collier (Collingwood) averaged around 14 kicks and 6 marks in the games we have stats for.

During the import we also uncovered a new V/AFL record.

1931 R15 - Charlie Dibbs (Collingwood) - 14 frees for (previously known record 13 frees for)

From 1957-1964 The Age recorded basic stats for the finals series.

http://australianfootball.com/players/player/albert+collier/4262

During the import we also uncovered two new V/AFL records and oddly enough they were only week apart and broken by the same person.

1931 R14 - Charlie Dibbs (Collingwood) - 49 kicks (previously known to be 44 kicks)

http://australianfootball.com/game/view/2832

1931 R15 - Charlie Dibbs (Collingwood) - 14 frees for (previously known record 13 frees for)

Anyway we hope you enjoy the new stats and if you see any errors or games we've missed, please get it touch and we'll do our best to fix them ASAP.

Fantastic effort ! Wonderful having those "extra" stats so accessible and gathered together in the one place.

Just one alert to take note of - http://australianfootball.com/game/view/2832
The "most kicks" record does not belong to Dibbs. I'll think if you read the small print included with the match detail in the Sporting Globe, you'll find that with South Melbourne scoring 23 behinds that Dibbs has had those 23 "kick-outs from full-back" added to his free kicks and general play, so in my opinion he "only" had 26 kicks in the way they are generally recorded.

Thanks for that, we have a couple of different sources saying 49 is the correct amount of kicks but we will take another look over the next couple of day.

Rd 2 1931 - Richmond vs Nth.
Strang's 14 goals is actually 14 goals, 2 behinds.

Thanks Rhett I will add in R18 1933 tomorrow and we are currently in the process of sourcing all of the behinds for every match from 1930-1964. We hope to have this done by the end of the year.

We have now finished correcting all of the kicks and handballs throughout the 1931-1933; 1936-1938; 1954-1955 (finals only) games, so these should all be correct now.

Hey buddy, just wondering how this is progressing, or if it's still in your plans? Been watching out for it for some time.

We have started sourcing these behinds, at the moment there is no date set for when we will have them live, but would say before the end of 2017.

During the import we also uncovered a new V/AFL record.

1931 R15 - Charlie Dibbs (Collingwood) - 14 frees for (previously known record 13 frees for)

Hi Guys - I'm a bit late to this, but I have a question.

Up to 1938, Boundary throw-ins were not used. There was a 'last touched' rule in place (it may have been a penalty for 'forcing the ball out' so not always applied). I think it was introduced in the 1920s sometime.

Certainly, the free kick numbers from the 1930s are much higher than in any other period we have stats for.

For example, reading the newspaper report for the Richmond vs Fitzroy Rd 18 1933, http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page20688728 it lists Richmond received 9 frees for Boundary infringemnents, Fitzroy received 13, and there were 15 throw-ins. It also (slightly frustratingly) says the Fitzroy Full-back recieved 3 of those frees.

Do we know if any of Dibbs' free kicks were for boundary infringements - should they be counted? Or treated like kick-outs?

I can't see anything in the Sporting Globe saying that Dibbs kicked out after every behind or is it just commonly accepted that occurred in the 30s? The other thing is some behinds may have been kicked on or after the siren meaning a kick out didn't occur. Perhaps it's too simple to subtract all behinds from the full backs kick tally?

I've managed to come across some more pre-1965 stats for certain finals games that at this point remain unpublished anymore on the web. It appears renowned statistician Dave Stewart lent his services to The Herald across 1934 and 1935 which fills in the gap in the OP. I'm yet to discover whether this was a weekly thing or if it was just for the big finals matches. I'll look into it further. The ones I found below were simply by searching for the fairly unique phrase "passes to comrade" and limiting it to Victorian newspapers between 1934-35. This gives me little hope for finding weekly stats, but we shall see.

1934 1SF – COLL vs. SM
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article243109833
(A. Collier 27 kicks, Whelan 23 kicks & 12 marks, S. Coventry 23k & 10m, G. Coventry 13 marks; Hillis 39 kicks[!!] and 7 frees for, Brain 27 k & 11m, Thomas 22k & 10m)

1934 PF – SM vs. GEEL
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article243068460
(Carney 29 kicks, Todd 27 kicks; Pratt 11 marks)

1934 GF – SM vs. RICH
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article243067914
(O'Halloran 29 kicks & 13 marks, Martin 27 kicks, Titus 12 marks; Brain 29 kicks, Nash 25k & 13m, Diggins 23k & 10m)

1935 1SF – CARL vs. RICH
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article244787993
(Sheahan 27 kicks, Strang 31 kicks & 21 marks[!!], Martin 30k & 10m, Dyer 22k & 10m, Titus 22k & 10m; Gill 31k & 10m, Cooper 29k & 12m, Shea 27 kicks, Davey 11 marks)

1935 PF – COLL vs. RICH
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article244794374
(Doherty 26 kicks, Whelan 23 kicks & 15 marks, A. Collier 21k & 10m; Strang 13 marks)

Found some more missing from the above two seasons. This time by searching "Dave Stewart".

1935 2SF – COLL vs. SM
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article244799953
(Hillis 35 kicks, Nash 24 kicks & 8 marks; Woods 24k & 9m)

1935 GF – COLL vs. SM
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article244798497 (Note: this is a little difficult to decipher)
(Kyne 30 kicks & 14 marks; Hillis 27 kicks)

The 1934 second semi final is the missing link from these two years now. I couldn't find anything in the Herald.

1932 VIC vs. SA
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article182151397

There were no stats for 1938 R17 because our man Dave Stewart was watching the VFA grand final between Brunswick and Brighton.
He took the stats for this instead. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article180869378

Well this took me longer than I thought. Like, 4 hours. I started at 1957 and just kept going back!

Here's some random match total stats sourced from The Age from years that aren't covered in the OP. They go quarter by quarter for marks and free kicks but it's team totals only and sadly that's as deep as they go. Still, better than nothing. No point linking to the sources when I can just type them out below but linked is an example. https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6wAzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6JQDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4148,2932380

Found some more missing from the above two seasons. This time by searching "Dave Stewart".

1935 2SF – COLL vs. SM
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article244799953
(Hillis 35 kicks, Nash 24 kicks & 8 marks; Woods 24k & 9m)

1935 GF – COLL vs. SM
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article244798497 (Note: this is a little difficult to decipher)
(Kyne 30 kicks & 14 marks; Hillis 27 kicks)

The 1934 second semi final is the missing link from these two years now. I couldn't find anything in the Herald.

Ah, well done, great finding those extra ones !

Just an alert, however, as noted a year or two ago, the kick stats include the full-back kicking out after an opposition behind, so perhaps Hillis for example in the two games above needs his figure reduced by 17 and 12 respectively ?

Correct, all the games currently on australianfootball.com (see original post) have had the figures reduced. Once these new ones get imported (hopefully over the next 72 hours) they will be adjusted.

I have just finished inputting the latest stats uncovered by Gibbsy. Kick offs from full back have been removed from the games.

Some game stats were actually already in our database but were not linked to this post. I have updated the OP with the new links.

Have you spoken to Col H at AFL regarding behinds prior to 1964 ?
I know he's been doing a lot of research as he sent me Richmond's behind goalkickers for each game from 1957-1964.
I'm not sure if *Paul* is planning on adding that data/other teams into his AFL Tables ?

Yep we sure have, pretty sure Col is planning on going back to around the mid 1930s.

I'll email him again this week and get an update.
