Greatest winning margin with one or two more scoring shots

Postby spell_check » Mon May 10, 2010 10:36 pm

I replied once on here to a question regarding the greatest winning margin with both teams on the same amount of scoring shots:
Rd 13 1931: North 21.10 Norwood 12.19, Norwood, 8700
1SF 1965: Sturt 15.12 Norwood 6.21, Adelaide, 40570
Rd 2 1969: Central 18.7 Woodville 9.16, Woodville, 3213
Rd 8 1987: Norwood 21.8 Central 12.17, Football Park, 7312
Rd 19 1988: Central 22.13 North 13.22, Football Park, 38213 D/H
Rd 20 1990: Woodville 24.10 Torrens 15.19, Adelaide, 7770

That list remains static. On the weekend, in that fiery encounter between the Eagles and Roosters, saw a result where the winning team had two more scoring shots and won by 67 points (18.6 to 5.17).

That is the equal third biggest winning margin, behind:
Round 6 1928
West 7.3 13.6 19.6 25.7 (157)
Port 3.4 3.10 4.15 7.23 (65)
Adelaide, 24600

Round 8 1941
West 5.1 11.5 17.9 23.12 (150)
Torrens 0.5 2.12 4.20 6.27 (63)
Thebarton, 4000

and equal to:
1st Semi Final 1975
Port 1.4 4.7 12.9 18.12 (120)
Sturt 1.7 2.13 3.18 5.23 (53)
Football Park, 26107

And if it weren't for the forgettable party trick attempt by Schulz and Banner; the score would have been 19.5 to 5.17, and outright 3rd on the list.

The last three scoring shots of the match were behinds to the Eagles - had the final score been 18.3 to 5.17 (64 points), it would have smashed the record winning margin by a team who had one less scoring shot:

(44 points)
Round 1 1978
Central 3.1 9.2 12.6 18.10 (118)
Woodville 3.4 4.9 8.18 9.20 (74)
Woodville, 4055

Round 2 1993
Eagles 5.3 8.4 11.5 17.7 (109)
West 2.5 4.10 7.13 8.17 (65)
Richmond, 3969

1st Semi Final 2001
Port 5.4 8.6 12.8 18.9 (117)
Norwood 3.5 4.8 7.15 9.19 (73)
Football Park, 18463 (D/H)

If North had scored one more behind (or Eagles one less); again the record would have been broken easily:

Round 13 1970
North 4.1 10.4 14.4 19.5 (119)
Norwood 1.8 4.10 6.12 9.14 (68)
Norwood, 10384

In short, the greatest winning margin with +/- scoring shots is:
+10: 90 points
+9: 94 points
+8: 78 points
+7: 77 points
+6: 101 points
+5: 80 points
+4: 84 points
+3: 68 points
+2: 92 points
+1: 51 points
0: 45 points
-1: 44 points
-3: 37 points
-4: 41 points
-5: 40 points
-6: 34 points
-7: 28 points
-8: 37 points
-9: 36 points
-10: 25 points
-11: 19 points
-12: 23 points
-13: 12 points
-14: 11 points
-15: 10 points
-16: (none, smallest loss is 11 points)
-17: (none, smallest loss is 12 points)
-18: 7 points

In addition, if Eagles had kicked another behind, it would equal the record for biggest margin with only three more scoring shots. A goal would have been an outright record.

Round 3 1928
West 2.1 11.6 12.6 20.7 (127)
North 5.3 5.4 7.15 7.17 (59)
Prospect, 5140

Round 8 1958
Glenelg 2.5 9.5 14.9 16.9 (105)
South 0.4 2.11 3.14 3.19 (37)
Kensington, 3500

The first stat at the top was broken today, with Glenelg winning by 55 points and the scoring shots at 23 apiece.
