SA Footy

Last year, Adelaide Hawk asked me a question in this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3639

As you can see at that time I only had scores from 1999 onwards. Well, now I've got them from 1987, which is from that point his question came from onwards.

The answer from that match up until now, is that there has not been a bigger margin than the 563 points (102.77 (689) vs 17.24 (126)) of Norwood over South combining the 4 matches. The next biggest is also by Norwood, over Glenelg in Round 18 1997 - combined margin is 480 points - 109.53 (653) vs 26.17 (173).

The 102.77 (689) is not the highest score combined for the four grades, but the second highest. Port scored 111.73 (739) against North's 37.38 (260) in Round 22 2000.

Going back to 1984, the margin record still stands. However, the 2000 record set by Port is not that; Sturt scored this in Round 9 1984 against Woodville:

League 24.19 vs 18.15
Reserves 22.17 vs 17.17
Under 19s 34.17 vs 8.13
Under 17s 37.25 vs 3.7
Combined 117.78 (780) vs 46.53 (329)

Norwood also had bettered that 111.73 (739) in 1984, also against Woodville, scoring 115.62 (752) vs 38.32 (260).

Another update, I've found one larger combined margin than the Norwood/South matches:

Round 3 1980
Port vs Woodville
League: 37.21 (243) vs 13.4 (82)
Reserves: 26.11 (167) vs 13.11 (89)
Under 19s: 42.28 (280) vs 10.3 (63)
Under 17s: 24.13 (157) vs 6.2 (38)
Combined: 129.73 (847) vs 42.20 (272)

Great stuff Spelly. I would have bet that Norwood v South Adelaide would have been a record, but there you go. Amazing stuff.

Percentage wise it is superior, so I'll hang my hat on that

Was at Football Park for that one. Even Milan Faletic kicked a lazy 7!

I remember they showed that game on the replay that evening. Late in the game they showed the Port bench. Port were 25 goals in front .. and John Cahill looked worried!!!

In fact, he got 8:

P.A: Faletic 8.5, Agius 5.2, Evans 5.1, Clifford 5.0, Belton 4.1, Ebert 2.3, Cahill 2.1, M.Williams 2.0, Granger 1.3, Kinnear 1.1, Sorrell, A.Williams 1.0, Rushed 0.4.
Wd: Carty 5.1, Hounsell 2.1, Sapwell 2.0, Jacquier 1.1, G.Hewitt, Vince, Davis 1.0, Sewer 0.1.

I know others have said it, but you are truly amazing Spelly. I honestly wouldn't have thought you'd have those figures

Great stuff.

Wests 6.17 (53) in Round 7 1968 is the lowest total score by all four grades in one round. The combined total is also the lowest.

The highest percentage of a club who won three games in a round is 78.54% by North 79.75 (549) vs West 21.24 (150) in Round 20 1964. The League side for North was the team who lost:
L: 10.9 vs 11.11
R: 33.27 vs 3.4
19: 16.20 vs 6.7
17: 20.19 vs 1.2

Same stat, but for two wins is 68.77% by Port 70.60 (480) vs West 32.26 (218) in Round 21 1998.
For just the one win it is 60.55%, by Eagles 60.39 (399) vs Glenelg 38.32 (260) in Round 10 1999:
League: 13.7 vs 12.16
Reserves: 10.8 vs 10.8
U/19: 8.10 vs 12.3
U/17: 29.14 vs 4.5

All that was needed was a calculation to all the figures I have, then a sort of them.

I'm trying to multitask that.

That's surprising because West Adelaide's A team played finals and their Under 19s won the flag in 1968. Mind you, 1968 was a particularly wet winter.
