Andrew Gigacz - he is a legend! His quirky statistics (e.g. Micro Noises, Giga Byte) are always great finds!

Plus his knack of finding anagrams where it's not humanely possibly.

Whilst I find this interesting I also wonder if applying scorigami to AFL is valid. The creator above mentions that sports where you can score one should be avoided as the one makes it less interesting and more probable. The intricacies of NFL scoring mean scorigami make it what it is. Is that the right take?

But the creator of scorigami also pointed out you can score 1 in american football?

It is possible for a team to only score one point in American football. It is only possible if the defence tackles any player in the kicking/offensive team in the end zone in a PAT or 2-point conversion attempt, though it is exceptionally rare and has never happened in an NFL game.

Pretty hard to believe 80-48 and 82-47 have never been done before. Especially given how defensively oriented AFL was in its early days.

It does seem hard to believe, but remember because of how scoring works in Australian Rules so many different scores are possible and because it is such a high scoring sport.

If you were to take a fairly modest score range of say all scores between 40 and 120 points, that works out to 6,400 unique combinations (and there will be a lot more outside of those ranges of course). Then consider that there are between 140-200 games per year, number of teams and rounds dependent - so no more than 20,000 competitive games played overall. In that context it makes a lot more sense.

interesting concept TGD

Without looking at your data (too small on my screen), for really common AFL score ranges, e.g. both teams scoring between 50-100 in a game, is there any scoreline that has still never occurred?

84-55 has now been taken - as of Adelaide vs. Carlton Round 20, 2022!
