Stats observations

[Wallaby]

Completely useless question - who has played the most VFL/AFL: games for zero goals (I believe the Richmond record is Bill Perkins - 140-odd games).

 

[red+black]

Perkins is 7th:

2 others played more than Perkins but kicked at least 1 goal before they retired:

[Procrastinator35]

And Mitchell finished =3rd for most season disposals:

The other stats for all other top 10 players on that disposal list include finals.

Tom has the record for the most ever in a Home & Away season.

Mentioned on the Fox Footy coverage tonight that Gold Coast's 3.2 (20) was the lowest number of total scoring shots for one team in a match since 1966

There's been 2@6 scoring shots and 6@7 scoring shots since that 1966 game.

How the wheels have completely fallen off that franchise....What a rabble they are.

I just hate seeing final scorelines like that! 2.1 at 1/4 time (just 2 points behind), still 2.1 at 3/4 time and ultimately obliterated with the largest winning/losing margin of the season. Ross Lyon and his merry men may try and reclaim that record tomorrow!

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Port Adelaide's score of 135 was the lowest winning score with a 100+ margin since Geelong's in R18 2013 vs St Kilda (137-36) at Skilled on Saturday night.

That same day, North Melbourne beat Melbourne 150-28 after leading at 3/4 Time 96-28. (Port Adelaide's 3/4 Time score was 96 and Gold Coast's was 13.)

I love it! Nearly every game I watch I barrack for some sort of scoring record. Scoreless quarters in particular are great

CA (2011) 1090169 + 133173 = 1,223,342

During the upcoming finals series, Richmond need:
- 149,125 to pass their previous season record (1,173,875 in 2001)
- 198,592 to pass Carlton's season record (1,223,342 in 2011)
- 298,905 to go top 10 for season record by any team (1,323,655 by CO in 2002)

(If ES made the 1999 GF like they should have, if we add the 94228 crowd, their season total would have been 1,354,929, good enough for 9th place. A crowd of 96115 would have been good for 8th, and 101,083 for 7th.)

[McCrann]

Mentioned on radio today, baring some crazy results next week, this will be the first finals series featuring both Richmond and Melbourne since 1941.

Lol. Not that CRAZY!!

 

[McCrann]

Richmond also registered the first goals and behinds tally of 25 goals and 5 behinds which meant their goals were 5 times more important than their behinds.

Yeah, pretty sure their goals are precisely 6 times as important as their behinds.

 

[McCrann]

This was at the MCG.

I remember this game. Everyone was "shocked" at how competitive Freo were.

Gerard!

 

[worbod]

I m curious as to how many of the other teams each club has played in finals

12 - Western Bulldogs - (yet to play Blues, Dockers, Suns, Giants, Power, Tigers)

I would like to state that the Bulldogs did play, and defeat, the Giants in a prelim last season. It was a fantastic and uplifting game to watch.
I know this would have been an accidental inclusion on your part. The biased comments are a deliberate inclusion on my part.

 

[red+black]

Lance Franklin to jump up the list of Most Final Goals this month.

111 | Gordon Coventry
\78 | Jason Dunstall
\74 | Jack Titus
\72 | Leigh Matthews
\ 65 | Lance Franklin

 

[red+black]

I suggest no one will ever get close to Coventry and Franklin finals' goals. Of those playing on in 2018:

65 | Lance Franklin
\42 | Jarryd Roughead
\34 | Travis Cloke
\32 | Jack Gunston
\28 | Kurt Tippett
\25 | Eddie Betts
\24 | Tom Hawkins

Jarryd Roughead has 42 Finals Goals mate.....Luke Breust is also on 24, the same as Hawkins.

Not sure why I omitted Roughy but have put him in. Breust is not playing finals so will fall behind the pack.

Doesn't look like Tippett will be adding to his total either.
