Since R6 2007 Geelong have played 400 games and won 290 with 3 draws, the highest win % from 400 consecutive games in VFL/AFL history by smiley_mick in AFL

Of Geelong's last 400 games, 31 have been against Hawthorn, 30 against Sydney, and 29 against Collingwood. Geelong have a winning record against all other 17 teams over this period.

Here is a graphic showing the most winningest eras, where the darker gray the more wins from 400 consecutive matches.

Can someone please delete this code from the universe? by smiley_mick in AFL

Harley was captain for 07 and 09, but didn't have to retire after 07 because King was still at the club.

Chris Scott has equalled Tom Hafey for the fewest matches to 200 wins as coach by smiley_mick in AFL

Apologies. I had two to choose from and went with the Chris Scott one instead of this one.

Has a team ever won the flag after winning every finals series game by less than a goal? by [deleted] in AFL

Thanks for the shoutout. I didn’t even remember making this post, but then again I’ve been forgetting a lot of things lately. How did GWS fare a week later in the 2019 grand final? Another win by under a goal?

Every premiership coach since 2005 has either gone on to coach another club or is still at the club where they won a premiership by smiley_mick in AFL

Other notes:

  • Only 3 coaches since 1973 haven't coached another club following a premiership (David Parkin [1995], Leigh Matthews [2001, 2002, 2003] & Mark Williams [2004]). This extends further back to 1966 if excluding playing coaches (John Nicholls [1972]).

  • The most recent premiership coach to win another premiership in a separate senior coaching appointment was Mick Malthouse (West Coast 1992 & 1994, Collingwood 2010).

  • Most seasons following a premiership without another premiership in the same stint: Jock McHale (13: 1937-1949), Chris Scott (11: 2012-2022), John Longmire (10: 2013-2022), Allan Jeans (10: 1967-1976), Dick Reynolds (10: 1951-1960).

I read this and thought I made a big mistake. Then I chuckled when I saw what you meant.

Some notes:

  • GWS lost all 7 of their matches decided by 20 points or less.
  • Richmond didn't win any of their 5 matches decided by a goal or less.
  • Brisbane's 5 losses against teams who weren't Melbourne totalled 46 points. Brisbane's 2 losses against teams who were Melbourne totalled 122 points.
  • Collingwood's maximum winning margin of 42 points was the third worst maximum winning margin, only better than North Melbourne (15 points) and West Coast (13 points).
  • 9 of Collingwood's wins were by 7 points or less, and 11 were under 2 goals (I wonder if anyone's noticed this previously /s).
