Stats questions

If a player marks the ball with a few seconds left in the final quarter and then just kicks it away after the siren (I.e Daniher last night), do they get a negative DE result of that kick?

Conversely, if a player kicked it to the umpire after the siren, would they get a positive DE stat?
So this does actually count as a stat? I've wondered about this before.
Per Champion Data

Q: What if a player has a disposal after the siren has sounded, does it count?

A: The game or quarter doesn’t officially end until the umpire acknowledges the siren by blowing the whistle and signaling the end of the quarter. All disposals executed before the umpire’s whistle will be included, regardless of whether the siren has sounded. Once the siren has sounded a disposal will only be recorded if a player has a genuine and realistic set shot at goal. If the player has taken the mark or won a free-kick and was having an unrealistic attempt at a shot at goal, then no disposal will be awarded. Also if an umpire deems a player has run off his line while having the shot no disposal will be recorded.
 
Glenelg racked up an aggregate score of 529 points in their two games against Central Districts during the 1975 SANFL season (212 & 317). Has any other team recorded a higher aggregate score against the same team in two matches in the same season?

There are some very large scores in the VFA during the 1980s, especially Division 2 against teams that were declining like Yarraville, teams that were down for a number of years like Sunshine, or new teams that didn't take off like Kilsyth; or Division 1 teams that found themselves out of their depth like Camberwell or Waverley. Not sure if there were any instances of the 212 and 317 you mentioned though.
 
A few weeks ago somebody was asking about cases of players who had relatively short careers but managed to meet all opposing teams during their AFL tenures. I would now like to ask the opposite question; what are the longest careers in which a player by chance never played an opposing team?

To illustrate, it wouldn't be so strange if a player had a long career from 1996-2012 inclusive, but didn't happen to play the Brisbane Bears or Fitzroy as a rookie in his first year, or as an aging veteran with mounting injuries in 2012 played only a handful games in his final year none of which were against new team the GWS Giants.

But it would be odd if for example a Melbourne player was with the Demons for 8 seasons from 1997-2004 inclusive for some 150 games, but never played a single senior game against the Richmond Tigers for one reason or another. Anyone got any examples of situations like the hypothetical one I described?
 
Sydney scored 10.0 before a point

I remember in 94 WC kicked 11.0 before a point v NM

What's the most goals before a point was scored?

or a good mid game streak?

also opposite for points if anyone knows?

A couple of Eagles ones that come to mind mid game wise.

West Coast went from 5.2 to 17.2 here.

West Coast went from 4.10 to 4.19 here, though in my head it seemed worse because well...4.19 🤪

Obviously I'm too lazy to check but 2020 would be a decent effort to fall on.

Average score for all teams was 62.

Almost all stats comparisons these days exclude the 2020 season for the obvious reason of shortened game times.

Would be intereesting to see the last time it happened not including 2020
 
Some questions to answer if anybody is able

After this round, Western Bulldogs currently hold the second highest percentage (126.1) despite sitting in 11th position. Would this be the lowest position for any team with second highest percentage at any stage of a season?

The Bulldogs and Richmond both had a score-line of 5 behinds at quarter time in their respective matches this weekend. Would this be the largest total of behinds shared by any two teams in the same round who have previously had a goalless first quarter?

The completion of this round sees 13 teams with percentages above 100. Surely this is a record at any one time?
