Probably the second North game this year I think.

AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Chris Lewis kicked one goal against us one day, his teams one and only.
At windy hill even, I was spewing that the Bombers let them kick a goal.
I remember that day, despite only being five or six at the time- don't actually think I knew what was going on, my father was just pacing up and down in front of the TV swearing a lot
I almost forgot one of the best AFL games I have watched on TV. The Eagles in about 1989 against Essendon at Windy Hill.
The Eagles, from memory, got their first goal late in the last quarter and the Dons donkey kicked them by plenty.
I've always wanted to get a video of that game.
Funny thing was a lot of that Eagles team that day later went on to win the Grand Final.

the windsock day from memory.
was there. laughed a lot.
There has never been a first quarter with no scores and there have been 4 first quarters with and aggregate of 2 points - the last in 1956.
But I saw the all-time lowest first quarter aggregate score - round 1 1965 at Kardinia Park. Geelong 0.0-0 v Footscray 0.1-1. Final score Geelong 5.5-35 v Footscray 5.3-33 (The Dogs failed to score in the last quarter - Geelong scored 1.2-8)
Ted Whitten was the only multiple goal scorer with 2.
Pouring rain, standing in front of the old Brownlow stand nearby to Doug Wade (still recovering from a knee injury) who borrowed my transistor radio to get progress scores from other grounds.
I saw Geelong kick 4.9 (33) against us at Kardinia Park in 2001.
Actually, it was 1965 before Bartlett even joined the Tigers, and it is well known that at the time he barracked for Footscray! A sidelight to the Tigers’ goalless match is that in the following quarter against Geelong at Kardinia Park the Tigers also failed to kick a goal, then seventeen-year-old first gamer Bill Barrott finally broke through for their first goal in two weeks early in the second.Bartlett must have forgot to eat his fish n chips the friday night before the game...
Did you have a look at the footage I uploaded? I saw it for the first time and doubt the claim it was dubious. Arceri actually positioned himself very well to receive the ball, in front of McPherson who did not try to work his way in front but held him long before the ball was kicked. That means a fair free in my mind.Arceri's free kick was fair enough.
That was in 1994, ironically on literally the only wet day in two otherwise rainless months. Fitzroy did not kick a goal after the seventeen minute mark of the second quarter when Jimmy Wynd kicked one on the run. If I am correct from what The Age seemed to imply, at one point late in the last quarter the scores of that game and Geelong v Adelaide the same day could have been the same before the Crows kicked two in junk time to avert what would have been their lowest score until this year.I was thinking of a Roys/Eagles one too, but actually one in , umm, 1995 I think. At Western Oval, again I think Fitzroy managed only 3 goals in teeming, teeming, teeming rain.
You'd know for sure, but i'd suggest the Western Oval had more unusual scoring anomalies than any other ground, in fact almost all other grounds put together.
Considering there was usually a significant gale blowing to one end, especially when the weather was crap, even if the scoring wasn't exceptionally low, you'd find most of the scoring was done with the wind and almost none against it.
I remember a couple of games we played there, where I knew even if we were 4 or 5 goals up at 3Q time, but kicking against the wind, we were in deep poop. Conversely, if we were a ways down and had the breeze, you could still be confident of winning.
From 643 matches at the Western Oval, the Dogs in 154 matches scored 75% or more of their total score at one end. (23.95%)
From 616 matches at Kardinia Park, the Cats have scored 75% or more of their total score at one end on 43 occasions. (6.98%)
From 1,124 scores at Docklands Stadium there have been 32 scores where 75% or more of the total score was at one end. (2.85%)
From 665 matches at the Western Oval, 111 were won by the team trailing at 3/4 time. (16.7%)
From 562 matches at Docklands, 59 have been won by the team trailing at 3/4 time. (10.5%)
That actually happened also with the seventh most recent single goal score, by South Melbourne against Geelong in 1964:And if my memory serves me correctly, the player who kicked Freo's only goal was dropped the week after.
August 8, 1964, Kardinia Park

Round 16 2011 Sydney 15.16-106 v Gold Coast 4.12-36Unless I saw the Port Maggies keep someone lower at Alberton in 1995/1996, round 1 this year when we kept GWS to 37.
Lowest score Sydney has conceded in a long long time aside from when Melbourne got the same and I wasn't there this year.
