GWS Hawthorn Goal Behind Goal Behind Winner Score 15 7 Score 14 13 Winning

Total Total Margin

Kicking efficiency is calculated by looking at the number of the goals score divided by the number of shots for goal a team had. See the example of Team A:

Team A Goals Behinds Total 8 2 10 8/10 .8 or 80%

In Round 15 both GWS and Geelong had the same kicking for goal efficiency 10 goals out of 18 shots. So their goal kicking efficiency would be 10/18 = 0.555 or 56% .

Team A Goals Behinds Total 10 18 18 10/18 0.55 or 56%

See if you can work out the goal kicking efficiency of GWS and Hawthorn in Round 16

GWS Hawthorn Goals Behinds Total Goals Behinds Total 15 7 14 13

As you can see GWS had two consecutive draws in Round 15 and Round 16 . The last time this has happened in the AFL/VFL competition was in 1921. How many years ago did this happen?
