On that, it’s amazing the numbers recorded for stats that were first logged in 1998. Only one clanger in a match! Darryl Poole the only culprit that day.
(Yes, this is beyond trivial and insignificant!)
Great read. Understand the likely time + cost involved, but would be sensational to have Champion Data level stats for pre-1999 matches.
Would shine a new light on champions as well as the shifts in how footy’s played.
Might be a crowd-source effort!

This is a great read on North's new coach from Emma Quayle back in 2008

Two Septembers on, Tapps’ fingerprints are all over the past four AFL premierships (23-24-25-26) ❤️
The faces and body language say it all.
Sincerely hope Justin Longmuir gets his moment one day soon 💜🏆
Brutal.
Longy was an assistant at Collingwood in 2018. He was respectful, intelligent, and interested - he asked questions and appeared to see the bigger picture. He was an extremely impressive person and colleague.
Sincerely hope his moment comes soon ❤️
Fremantle’s kicked 454 goals + 462 behinds in their 38 games against Brisbane since 1997.
They’ve kicked 491 goals + 492 behinds in their 46 games against Hawthorn since 1995.
They’ve kicked a combined 20.31 against the two teams in their two GFs.
Brutal #AFLGF
A few random stats + facts to emerge from the #AFLGF:
Darcy Fort’s played in 3 flags in his past 47 games.
Will Ashcroft averages 31 disposals in 3 Grand Finals. What’s the record for highest ave. disposals for 3 or more GFs, @sirswampthing?

"Yesterday, for the second time, McGlynn watched the white whale spout at his bow and swim away. It's a big ocean - who knows if he'll find it again?"
This, from Tim Boyle in @theagesport in 2012, remains my favourite piece of writing about Grand Finals - theage.com.au/sport/afl/like…
