What does the margin need to be for a game to be considered a thrashing?

Thanks, I'll have read of that.

 

[D0nk]

10 goals.

Awesome so Geelong didn't get thrashed on the weekend, I'll take that.

 

[raskolnikov]

Depends on the weather too. 5 goals on a wet day could be seen as a thrashing.

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

7 Goals is a flogging

10 + is a thrashing

6+ in the wet is a thrashing

 

[Swifty_446]

I'd say anything over 7 goals is a thrashing.

 

[Murray]

50 + points

 

[slugger]

North v Essendon was 42 points, so I'd say 41 points plus.

But then I've seen Essendon hand out a few absolute hidings and then Sheeds coaching moves in the second half bring it back closer, e.g. Ess v Carl early 2000.

Bookies odds - over 39.5 points, so 7 goals.

My benchmark for a thrashing is the lesser of:
a) Margin of 60 points
b) Double the opposition score

 

[Nandoz]

<20 good honest contest

21>40 too good

41>60 belted

61>80 thrashed

80>100 demolition

100>120 raped

120> why bother turning up?

 

[Leg_Spinning_Sensation]

a thriller within 10 points
a close win 10-24
a comfortable win 25- 48
a good beating 49- 60
a thrashing 60- 80
a belting 80- 90
a demoliting 91- 120
an embarrasment to watch over 120

I think it all depends on how the team performs, i mean a team can win by 5 goals and absolutly dominate play with poor kicking on goal where the other team doesnt for example 10 23 83 to 8 5 53 and when you look at it it could of been say 18 15 etc etc.

Does this make sense?

 

[luthor]

Exactly 9 points.

That's how much we beat Collingwood by in the 2002 GF.

 

[johnnyhoward]

Bookies odds - over 39.5 points, so 7 goals.

Exactly right. As someone who bets on over 39's a bit, whenever a team gets on top, more often than not the margin will be 7-8 goals. There have been plenty of wins this year by between 40-50 points, but anything more than 50 is an absolute caning. The bookies obviously did a fair bit of research into this which is why they chose 39.5

 

[The Magenius]

2.5 times the oppositions score.

 

[windyhill]

40+

I'd say that if you double their score, it's a thrashing. Takes into account all types of conditions too.
