Another interesting WLWLWL type season was by WAFL team the South Fremantle Bulldogs back in 1991. Souths, one of the pre-season premiership fancies gave their fans whiplash in the first third of the season going LWLWLWL before losing three games narrowly in a row mid-season, then came two wins in a row and then the LWL pattern seemed to return.

With season 1991 starting to slip away but the finals still well within reach in a year all the sides were pretty even save for top team Claremont and bottom team West Perth Souths coach Steve Hargrave no doubt wished that his team would find consistency and tried to instill this in the Bulldogs for the run home. However it seems to be a case of be careful what you wish for, as the Dogs did indeed find consistency in the last third of the season, only this is what happened as follows:

1. L - EP d. SF by 125 points
2. W - SF d. EF by 42 points
3. L - P d. SF by 8 points
4. W - SF d. SD by 74 points
5. L - C d. SF by 42 points
6. W - SF d WP by 67 points
7. L - S d. SF by 19 points
8. L - EP d. SF by 2 points
9. L - EF d. SF by 21 points
10. W - SF d. P by 40 points
11. W - SF d. SD by 4 points
12. L - C d. SF by 75 points
13. W - SF d. WP by 20 points
14. L - S d. SF by 101 points
15. L - EP d. SF by 22 points
16. L - EF d. SF by 129 points
17. L - P d. SF by 53 points
18. L - SD d. SF by 46 points
19. L - C d. SF by 103 points
20. L - WP d. SF by 10 points
21. L - S d. SF by 105 points

Five 100+ pt defeats in a season where they won 6 games, and four of them in those last 7 games after their Rd 13 win!

The South Fremantle Bulldogs have created some mind-boggling stats over the years. Like as you noted with 1991, I've done the maths in more details. After defeating the bottom team West Perth in Round 13, the Dogs had a 6-7 record, 1275 points for, 1310 against, percentage 97.32 and a points difference of negative 35. Taking out the 125-point drubbing by East Perth in Round 1, Souths had outscored their opponents by 90 points in the other 12 games, even more impressive when you consider that both of the Bulldogs losses to the Claremont Tigers were by big margins.

Then after losing the last 8 games by an aggregate of 534 points, mean average losses 67 points, finish the season with 6-15 win/loss record, 1924 points against, 2493 against percentage 77.2 and points difference negative -569. That's very unusual to see.

In 1993 the Bulldogs suffered another late-season fade-out but this time the margins were not blow-outs like two years earlier, they scored a couple of wins against the trend as they fell away and managed to hold onto 5th spot although were eliminated by Subiaco the next week. However, what was extraordinary this time was that in the middle round of fixtures the Bulldogs kicked 30 goals to destroy the Subiaco Lions by 128-points, pushing South Fremantle to mid-year flag favoritism. However, just 7 weeks later the now out-of-form Bulldogs put up very little resistance to the Lions in the rematch, Subiaco thrashing South Fremantle by 59-points and performing an extraordinary 187-point turnaround in such a short space of time.

kicked 7 goals last night, two in the 2nd quarter and five in the last. What's the most number of goals one player has kicked all at the same end and none at the other?

Would someone be able to tell me what is the longest sequence for a team alternating between wins and losses in AFL/VFL/VFA/SANFL/WAFL history?

Fremantle may well be the answer to that question.
AFL Tables list a streak of 15 games at end of 2001 and well into 2002 season

This was the first player I thought of.

Hird and Sheed's final game, wasn't it?
