Great stuff - now can we have the reverse - games won with fewer scoring shots? Fascinating reading. I'd also reckon it's a fair bet that Sydney 2012 was the first time a team has won 2 finals matches in one season with fewer scoring shots tham the opposition.

Here's a little something for you.

In last years draft, Nick Vlastuin was taken at pick 9.
His captain Trent Cotchin wears No. 9.
Both of them came from the Northern Knights.
Vlastuin also wears No. 31.

Bit of a weirdburger I'll point out, 18 of the 34 players selected in Melbourne's NAB Cup squad has a first name or surname beginning with J.

Pretty significant if you ask me, even if it's just over 50% of all players selected, to have 18 is pretty amazing.

Wow. That one's pretty damning.

I guess the only thing you can go by is the nature of the losses. I'd dare say there were more close results in Melbourne's 100 losses than Fitzroy's.

Or maybe I'm just remembering Fiztroy's final two, painful seasons.

Not quite: One Essendon v Hawthorn result appears to be reversed.
Can't ascertain what the third figure next to each club's name denotes.
