Hawthorn and Essendon played the same score in the fifth round of 1961. Essendon’s and Brisbane’s are the second greatest deficit in scoring shots by a winning team, Richmond against Fitzroy in 1957 and Geelong against Collingwood in 1977 both won with fifteen fewer scoring shots.Round 3 this year in the VFL, we had this score:
