Geelong's 1992 team seemed to have a penchant for symmetrical scoring.
In Round 11, coincidentally against St Kilda at Kardinia Park, the Saints had quarter-by-quarter scores of 3.3, 8.8, 13.13, 18.18, losing to Geelong which kicked 19.11-125.
In Round 6 at the same venue the Cats, after a torrid battle with Fitzroy in the first half, broke away from the Lions in the second half to win 25.25-175 to 11.11-77, the 98-point margin the largest margin to date in a symmetrical game.
Geelong also played in a rare mirror-image game against Collingwood, when it lost to the Magpies in wet conditions 12.9-81 to 9.12-66.
The Cats kicked 15.15-105 in a game against the Demons, and while it was not a symmetrical game the following week against Richmond, the Cats buried the Tigers in kicking 29.24-198 to 11.6-72, a difference of 18.18-126.
In the Grand Final, when Geelong lost to the WEst Coast Eagles, the Cats' 12.13 was 28 points less than the Eagles 16.17, a difference of 4.4.

Does anyone have any statistics on players from teams that were thrashed getting Brownlow votes in these games?
One interesting case was the North Melbourne vs Sydney Swans game in Round 6 1993. Despite the Kangaroos 124-point victory in a very high scoring game, 35.19-229 to 16.9-105 with North's young stars on fire on every line, one Brownlow vote went to Swan Scott Watters.
Another case was Round 23 1991, when Hawthorn thrashed Carlton by 98 points, young Blue Andrew Phillips collected a Brownlow vote.
Please post any other examples you know of.

How did you go with this (In relation to the Bulldogs' comeback from 47 points down vs. Geelong in 2001)? Have you had any response?
I have passed this on to the editor of the AFL Record Season Guide. I haven't received a reply, and it hasn't appeared on the 2013 AFL Record Season Guide Updates page:-

After 18 lead changes in the Esssendon - Brisbane game today, I was wondering if there is any record for the most lead changes in one game?
Here's one from 2004 in which the lead apparently changed 20 times.
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/09/04/1094234080315.html
Anecdotal report of 25 lead changes, again involving Essendon.

This would've been 1980 R2.

Are quarter durations recorded anywhere?
Edit: Just found that AFL Tables scoring progressions have them.

non AFL related but does anyone know the record in australia for goals in a senior footy year?
logged in to check out the weekends results from my competition and down the side bar was the sportingpulse leading goal kicekrs and a guy called aaron purcell has just knocked up his 92nd major and we are only in May. That's ridiculous. Well on track for 200+
http://www.sportingpulse.com/agstats.cgi?agID=22
It would be pretty hard to get a guage on the Picola and District Football Netball League standard is like, but it's in the riverina area.
I know Peter Ruskulic kicked 213 for the East Sydney Bulldogs in the early 80's which is considered to be a record for a major competition in australia, although once again the standard of Sydney AFL in the early 80's was probably not what it is today with a fair influx of interstate players these days. Although maybe, it's hard to tell without having been there.

I've read a bit about Trevor Sutton over the years (and can vaguely remember seeing him play for Norwood in the SANFL) and it looks like he may hold the record, with 249 for Deniliquin in 1982.

This article ^ covers many of the big goalkicking feats and makes mention of a recent one in the Picola and District League.

interesting.
the bloke getting chaired off doesn't exactly look like someone you'd have too much trouble handling, but 3 100's in a row is a fair effort. Then again the article makes mention of Gary Moorcroft kicking 140+ in a local league and if you found yourself lined up against him before the first bounce without knowing who he was, you probably wouldn't think this short little red head is gonna give you much grief.
As an aside was very surprised to look up Moorcroft and find he only played 98 games AFL games. Definitely thought he was a 200+ player. Seemed to be around for a long time anyway.

It's fine. Just plotting Geelong's scoreworms this year. Pretty much finished.
Amazing similarities for all but one game.
Moorcroft will of course always be famous for his big mark, but his AFL career went downhill fast after that, apparently he picked up an injury taking that mark (or maybe when he landed!) and was never the same player again.
It was interesting to spot in that article the name Jason Mifsud on the list of players who'd kicked 200+ goals in lower leagues. Your local league certainly has a lot of high scorers this year, with 4 of the country's top 14, and (I think) 7 of the top 100!
This link to an old Footypedia page may have some extra info relating to your query.

What about most possessions by a single player in a year in any country or metro Footy league outside of the AFL and VFL?

thanks worbod
i'm not in the piccola league. play in sydney. was looking at our scores and noticed the country's top goal kickers in the sidebar and saw some guy on 92. thought that was incredible.
i wonder how that Keiran Agius - Le Bois goes... Playing SANFL Under 16's (no idea how the pick those teams and how legitimate they are) and kicked 57 goals so far this season.
I noticed that Mifsud name in the article and thought it was familiar. only when you mentioned did i bother to look it up. It's funny when you see the guys mentioned in the AFL press and you just assume most of them are just old farts who can't do anything.

Ah, fair enough, I misread that bit.
Yes I looked up Keiran Agius - Le Bois and was surprised to see he was only playing junior football. I simply assumed that it was a list of the top 100 goalkickers this season in senior football in the various leagues around the country. There's also one on the list from the Victorian Women's Football League.
As for Mifsud, I checked the link Worbod posted and saw that he kicked 205 (?) goals for Caramut in 1994, Tony Russell managed 171 for them the next year! Russell had a stint at Collingwood without much success (I have in another article seen that he kicked 157 in that season with Caramut).
any sites besides fanfooty or dream-stats keep track of sub information and in an easier format to gather the info?
mainly after time of sub and player

nah the time of sub is the most important thing, I'll just do it manually off of those sites, thanks
