Consecutive Matches scoring more goals than behinds

[spell_check]

Central District hold this record, for the 21 matches played between Round 21 2006 and Round 17 2007, the scores were:
18.12, 14.5, 17.16, 18.16, 13.5, 7.3, 16.10, 16.14, 23.13, 15.12, 23.11, 12.11, 16.7, 20.7, 15.12, 14.11, 15.10, 34.7, 14.5, 23.13 and 14.7.

What's the record for the reverse?

[spell_check]

That record is held by West Torrens, 26 matches between Round 11 1967 and Round 16 1968:
12.16, 8.13, 6.14, 10.14, 5.12, 6.13, 4.6, 7.13, 5.12, 7.10, 8.17, 13.17, 13.15, 7.8, 9.10, 7.13, 5.12, 7.8, 12.18, 6.9, 10.15, 16.20, 12.16, 14.20, 5.12, 13.15.

It all depends on when I am on here - I could take 5 minutes or 95.

[Mr66]

Let's make it the trifecta.
What's the record for the same goals & behinds?

[spell_check]

Five clubs share that record, 3 matches in a row:

Central, Rounds 9-11 1968: 11.11, 6.6, 12.12
Glenelg, Rounds 10-12 1962: 14.14, 11.11, 12.12
North, 1SF 1928; Rds 1-2 1929: 11.11, 9.9, 10.10
South, Rounds 11-13 1961: 12.12, 6.6, 12.12
West, Rounds 19-21 2002: 20.20, 13.13, 11.11

That record is held by West Torrens, 26 matches between Round 11 1967 and Round 16 1968:
12.16, 8.13, 6.14, 10.14, 5.12, 6.13, 4.6, 7.13, 5.12, 7.10, 8.17, 13.17, 13.15, 7.8, 9.10, 7.13, 5.12, 7.8, 12.18, 6.9, 10.15, 16.20, 12.16, 14.20, 5.12, 13.15.

That is the most awesome stat I have ever read. How could a team go 26 matches and kick more behinds than goals. That is incredible. I take it by Round 16 1968 John Birt had had enough and had them practicising goal kicking!

I'm not sure why, but I believe the 1960s was an era when more behinds were scored than goals on average.

Spelly, do you have the breakdown of total goals vs total behinds kicked in each season (for all teams combined)?

[spell_check]

Yes, you are right, but I would have expected this record to have occured prior to WW1, as seen in this table:

Thanks Spelly - top stuff!

Interesting (but expected) that goalkicking was more accurate in years when the average scores were higher.

[spell_check]

And since 1982 it has been constant between 52 and 56%
