Claremont in the Southern FL (Tas) have had a wretched season, by far the worst a top league team in Tassie has ever had, I'd say with confidence. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, get onto Sportingpulse if it hasn't...!

So bad, the team dropped half of its senior squad last weekend. Not for punishment, but because they figured the reserves, who've been equally as bad, could get a win with this injection of talent against the second worst side! Gallant effort, lost by 9, the best result all season. The diminishment of the senior side saw them lose to a team who have also sucked in 2021 by 283 points...!

Edit - have finished compiling the season, and this is what Claremont's weekly ladder looked like - e.g. in Round 6, their season aggregate for was 11.14 (80), they'd had 205.165 (1395) kicked against them, and their percentage was 5.73. New Norfolk beat them 261-1 in round 1, and their percentage as a result was 26100...!

Still have to look at Old Scholars Association to work out Richmond's performance (the delightful little town north of Hobart with scallop pies, not the AFL team!)...it looked similarly nasty, but that is a private school old boys comp, not Southern Tassie's main local league...!

Essendon recorded the 30th instance of goals and behinds being the same at the end of every quarter, and the first since 2007 - second-longest "drought" in history.

Trent Standen, an ex-state league footballer, played for OHA against Richmond this weekend in the Old Scholars league in Tassie. Had 71 goals for the season going in, and kicked his ton with his 29th goal of the match, going on to kick 30.12...! Gotta feel for the two runners up...! 237804380_3043345359317262_3572139911752873428_n.jpg

There was a bizarre game in the WAFL today between Peel and Perth in Mandurah. Perth blitzed Peel early to lead by 43-points at quarter time, and wound up losing by that margin by the end of the game.

I was just coming on to post this one. How often would a team with 32 scoring shots as per West Perth lose by a large margin of 46-points to an opponent with 9 less scoring shots, 23 in the case of East Fremantle today? I wouldn't imagine very often.
 
In last night's Preliminary Final Geelong kicked 6.6-42, but 5.1 in the first half followed by 1.5 in the second half as Melbourne demolished the Cats by 83-points.

I don't recall seeing many matches where a team kicks the inverse of its first half score, for example a team kicking a poor 1.7 in the first half of a game then improving its accuracy with 7.1 after half time to finish with 8.8-56. Does anyone know of any other examples?
 
Yesterday's WAFL Preliminary Final - a game of such shockingly poor standard it was hard to believe it was actually any game in a high level competition much less a preliminary final - ended up with a bizarre scoreline as follows:

South Fremantle Bulldogs 2.2 4.5 6.7 6.7-43 d. Claremont Tigers 0.1 0.3 0.8 4.8-32

With a performance like that, I think South Fremantle will end up as afternoon tea for the Subiaco Lions in next Saturday's Grand Final.

Still on the WAFL, a quirk has occurred in the reserves. In a top 5 finals system, 3rd will play 4th for the premiership. In the league and colts, it's ended up 1v2 and is all the more remarkable in the reserves as Claremont only lost one match for the season before bowing out in straight sets.

What makes it all the more interesting is that the Reserves match up is Subiaco vs. Perth and that is the WAFL Seniors Grand Final combination (discounting pre WWI teams like North Fremantle and Midland Junction) that hasn't come up for the longest time, with the Lions beating the Demons in the 1915 Grand Final, the same year ANZAC troops landed at Gallipoli and the Lusitania was sunk by a German U Boat.

At Reserves and Colts levels, I can't think of any Subiaco vs. Perth Grand Finals either. Perth, starved of success in all grades, last took out a WAFL Reserves GF in 1996 and in 1999 for the Colts. The Demons have played in some few and far between Grand Finals in lower grades since then, but have been beaten every time and I don't think any of the games were against Subiaco. As for Subiaco, while the Lions have had great success at League and Reserves level, their achievements in the Colts are more modest, so they wouldn't have met Perth Colts in at least the last 30 years if at all. Possibly there have been GF's between Subiaco and Perth at Reserves or Colts level many years ago, but I don't recall any and I could only find the premiers listed for these grades, not the runners up.
 
Can't believe nobody has mentioned the Western Bulldogs being 19 points up more than half way through the third quarter of a Grand Final the kicking 1.1.7 to 16.4.100 in the next 40 minutes of footy to lose by 74 points.

It happened so quickly I'm still waiting for the Dogs to start mounting a comeback.

1928 - Fitzroy 2,27 (39) vs Geelong 19,8 (122).

7% accuracy vs 70%

Fitzroy two more scoring shots, yet lose by 83 points!

Perth and Subiaco have played each other twice in a Reserves Grand Final, 1972 and 1988. Subiaco won the first one and Perth the second. They have never played each other in a Colts Grand Final.

Thanks Brad5668, its hard to find WAFL Reserves and Colts records.

There's three WAFL GF combinations (discounting Peel & defunct teams) that have never come up at senior level and these are West Perth vs. Swans, Swans vs. Perth and Claremont vs. Perth. However there have been GF meetings between these clubs at Reserves and Colts levels post 2000. Swans defeated West Perth in the 2006 Reserves GF and two years later in the 2008 Colts GF Swans beat Perth. In 2011 Claremont easily defeated Perth in the Reserves GF.

Another elusive WAFL GF is West Perth vs. Perth, with the last premiership decider between the Falcons and Demons in 1949, West Perth winning. In the 1960s and 1970s the three Perth teams - Perth, West Perth and East Perth - were pretty dominant. There were five GF meetings between East Perth and Perth, the Demons winning four, and three between West Perth and East Perth, the Falcons beating the Royals each time. However West Perth and Perth never met in a GF in those decades, and then went from 1976-2020 without meeting in a final and 1978-2020 without even being in the same finals series. I'm not sure if there's been a Reserves or Colts GF between West Perth and Perth.
 
Geelong were involved in a couple of defeats with a scoring surge of similar magnitude in 1986 and in Rd 1 1990. Against Essendon (Jacko's last game) in Rd 2, 1986, Geelong eked ahead of the Bombers 7.4.46 to 6.9.45 during the earlier part of the 3rd quarter, before getting pummeled 21.22.148 to 7.9.51, a turnaround of almost 100 points.

That Rd 1 1990 game, Grand Final rematch with Hawthorn and Geelong, well at VFL park Geelong again nosed ahead in the 3rd quarter by a point before a Hawk explosion where they added 19 goals to virtually zero and turn that narrow deficit into a 115 point whipping.

But in a Grand Final i am sure there's been no reversal of form to that extent, although the Bombers turned a19 pt 3/4 time deficit into a 24 pt win with their famous last quarter against the Hawks in 1984.

14 goals 18 pt - to a solitary goal - glad i didnt go to that - who kicked our only goal

Back in the day - for all teams - when the floodgates opened they really opened

Probably comes back to players had plenty of space - so if you had more talented players - you could do it over and over again

Having said THAT Melb in the GF - and the PF - were doing that rapid scoring goals - obliterating the opposition - which happened in alot of games accross the board in the 80s and 90s

No worries Emuboy. I have all the end of season ladder positions dating back to the B Grade in 1921 and the Colts from 1957. Perth have played West Perth in the B Grade/Reserves Grand Finals in 1922 (WP), 1955 & 57(P). They have never played each other in a Colts Grand Final. This Saturday will be the 5th time Swans and Claremont have played each other in the Grand Final, with Swans winning in 1957, 58, 2007 and 14, and Claremont winning in 2015.

Thanks Brad5668, that's amazing to have all those rare WAFL statistics. So therefore at 64 years Perth vs. West Perth would be the WAFL Grand Final combination that hasn't occurred for the longest time at any level.

There's two extraordinary games from the early 1990s that I remember being close early on but turned very one sided very quickly.

One was St Kilda vs. Brisbane Bears at Moorabbin in Round 23 1991. St Kilda had to beat Brisbane to guarantee their place in the finals for the first time since 1973 which appeared straight forward enough considering their ladder positions, but unfortunately for the Saints the Bears weren't sticking to the script. Brisbane kept pace with St Kilda early, trailing 5.0-30 to 3.2-20 at quarter time, and the Bears continued to give the Saints nothing but trouble in the second term, the 10-point St Kilda lead still standing with about 2 minutes to go until half time, before the Saints kicked three quick goals to go 28-points up at half time, 10.4-64 to 5.6-36. Then in the third term St Kilda slammed on 9.3-57 to Brisbane's 0.4-4 to lead by 81-points 19.7-121 to 5.10-40 at three quarter time. St Kilda didn't let up in the last term outscoring the Bears 8.5-53 to 2.2-14, with the final result seeing St Kilda demolishing the Brisbane Bears by 120-points, an even 27.12-174 to 7.12-54.

The other was in Round 21 1993 between Melbourne and Richmond at the MCG. The Demons were highly inconsistent, the Tigers flat out bad, however it was a tight contest in the first term, and midway through the second term scores between them were level. Then the Demons came to life. They kicked 33 points clear by half time, then completely destroyed the Tigers after the long break with 16 goals to 3. The Dees led by 78-points at the final change, and made Richmond look stupid when they ran away in the final term to win 26.19-175 to 8.6-54. Interestingly the 121-point win by Melbourne over Richmond was the first time this margin had ever come up.

Those type of things just use to happen - and if you were on the receiving end you just had to cop it

Pretty sure i went to that 2nd game you highlighted Melb v Rich - and if it was on a Sunday - then im certain i was their - and Rich were terrible - Neil Balme was coaching the Dees

Back around that time period - being alot younger - and thus alot keener - and the game was so much more exciting to watch - players in theiir proper positions etc - so neutral games were ok to watch- thus about 2 weekends every year - i would get the train down from Syd to Melb - leave Frid night - take in a couple of games - and Return Sunday night . And at the time Melb and Rich both played alot of Sunday games at the MCG - so i would go to that game - and walk back to Spencer st - and Syd train would depart at about 6.30pm . No chance in hell of me doing that today

One of the games i attended - around that era - was Haw v Fitz on the Sat at Princess Park - shocking day - miserable and didnt stop raining . Fitz had some good players ( as in their career ) playing that day Roos Osborne - Ross Lyon - Alistiar Lynch was playing FB on Dunstall - because i was down that end - but honestly Haw won by about 25 goals
