In 2008 Sturt won 11 games by at least 10 goals but didn't make the Grand Final. What is the greatest number of 10 goal victories recorded by a side in a single season? What's the highest number of 10 goal victories recorded by a Non-Grand Finalist side in a single season?
And also Brant Chambers outscored the same opposition team (South Adelaide) three times in 2008 – 6.5 to 4.6, 6.5 to 5.10 and 4.2 to 3.5. Has any player beaten the opposition side three times in the same season before?
Thanks a lot for your help for solving these questions.

It's no.2 in that particular list. Port in 1980 won by 10 goals or more 14 times.
14 - Port 1980
10 - Sturt 2008
9 - Port 1977
9 - Port 1990
9 - Central 2002
Other clubs best:
8 - Glenelg 1975
8 - Norwood 1988 and 1997
7 - West 1983
7 - North 1989 and 1991
7 - Eagles 2005
6 - South 1966 and 1983
3 - Torrens 1950, 1953, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1969, 1970 and 1980
2 - Woodville 1988, 1989 and 1990
Sturt easily qualifies for your next question.
(All club bests)
10 - Sturt 2008
8 - Norwood 1988
6 - Port 1975 and 1982
6 - Glenelg 1980 and 2006
6 - South 1983
6 - Central 1994 and 1997
5 - North 1950 and 1982
5 - West 1976, 1977 and 1995
4 - Eagles 2002 and 2007
3 - Torrens 1950, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1969, 1970 and 1980
2 - Woodville 1988, 1989 and 1990
Brant Chambers is definitely the only player to have done that. Part of that feat has to go to the clubs defence and the era it was in - Ken Farmer outscored the opposition only 8 times in his career.
