When was the last time a side only kicked one point for the game as Sydney did tonight?
Click to expand...
2010 Rd. 16 - Brisbane 7.1 vs. Hawthorn 17.16

Prior to that: 1966 Rd. 17 - Footscray 4.1 vs. Carlton 12.14

25 times a team has finished with just 1 behind.
 
Last night in the Tigers/Swans game the opening quarter lasted 38:57 and the final quarter 25:36. Am I right in assuming they're the longest and shortest quarters this year?

Also, when was the last match with such an extensive gap between its shortest and longest quarters?

Most likely the round 20 game between Brisbane lions and Adelaide. The 2nd quarter went for 39:49 whilst the shortest quarter was the third, which lasted 27:33, a differential of 12 mins, 16 secs, compared to the differential of 13 mins, 21 secs in the game you have referenced.

Taking AFL to mean VFL/AFL, I'm going to suggest University is the clubhouse leader.

My maths calculates their average ladder position was 8.15.

Is there a stat That records tackles that lead to turn overs or frees

So if a team has 80 tackles how many lead to free kicks or a turn over

But like ruck Taps to advantage

188 players only played games in years in which their teams won the flag. Of special note are Syd Anderson, who played 52 games at Melbourne (3 premierships) 1939-41 and Bill Baxter who played 20 games (0 premierships) at Melbourne in the same period.

Another 17 players played in two seasons at clubs that won the flag, perhaps the most notable being Aaron Keating and Glyn Hewitt (Lleyton's dad).

Last time 3 teams lost with 100+ points?
Click to expand...
Just an amazing round of football, this one! There had only been two games all season with both teams scoring 100+ points, now we've had three games in one round. Throw in some major upsets (with another one looking very likely to happen) and it has been quite incredible!

Hi guys - just a fun question.

In this current round, there were 6 premiership coaches - Scott, Longmire, Beveridge, Worsfold, Hardwick and Clarkson. What is the most?

I was also going to ask, what is the least, but that would just takes us back to the 1890s. How about the least since WW1 (1919-onwards). My guess would be around the mid-1930s after the Collingwood 4-peat.
 
In 1918 VFA Round 5 - North Melbourne kicked 5 29 (59) to Brunswick's 8 6 (54)
North Melbourne kicked 3 goals less than Brunswick...but still won.

Has this ever happened in the VFL/AFL...or any other competition?

1944 Rd. 13: North Melbourne 11.21 (87) d. Richmond 14.2 (86)
https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1944.html#13

That is the only such occurrence in the VFL/AFL.

Edit: Not a win, but a draw in the 1948 Grand Final: Essendon 7.27 (69) vs. Melbourne 10.9 (69)
https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1948.html#fin

One of the more famous/infamous scores/results in the competition's history, I would say, especially given that Melbourne won the replay very easily!

Also a draw in Rd. 7 1935: Footscray 12.7 (79) vs. Carlton 9.25 (79)

That's cool, but I believe it would be a lot more relevant to create an equation that calculates a team's average finishing ladder position as a percentage based on the number of opponents they faced each season.

I.e. Finishing 5th in an eight team competition should have exactly the same weight as a team finishing 10th in a 16 team competition.

In the above two examples, a team has finished above 44.4% of the field. Using that percentage as a guide, would it be possible to rank teams using this method?

Agree, but it was early and I was feeling lazy. Still feeling lazy. :)

Suggest the top team rates 100, the bottom team rates 0, and the others are evenly dispsersed between the two. Might have a go at it later.

In the WAFL it occurred in round 5, 1984:

South Fremantle 15.29 (119)
Perth 18.8 (116)
 
In the Herald Sun's Player of the Year award today, four of the players who received the three votes (best on ground) were from the losing team. Equating this to the Brownlow, is anybody able to determine which rounds have seen three Brownlow votes given to the most players from losing teams? It was tricky wording this question, hope it makes sense.

Ablett and Judd are probably the most famous examples. They both received three votes in matches their teams got smashed in.

I do know there was a game at VFL Park in 1972
(because I was there). Richmond beat Hawthorn 11.25 (91) - 13.6 (84). However, Richmond kicked a goal right on, or after the siren - so I think it is possible that Richmond were in front at the siren, despite kicking 3 goals less than the Hawks.
 
Question and apologies if already asked but I didn't see anything at the time the game was played.

West Coast 16.5.101
d St. Kilda 14.4.88

Two teams scoring at least 14 goals in a game and neither scored more than 5pts. Has this ever happened before that both teams have been so accurate?

A combined score of 30.9.189.

Has there ever been a higher overall combined accurate score in a match in VFL/AFL history?
