Stat from the weekend to celebrate...

[HSVKing]

Last weekends win over Richmond was our 800th H&A win in our history.

Takes our record to 800/22/1297 (38.27%)

do you reckon its possible that we will ever square the ledger at 50%?

I'd like to be around when we do

I don't think Richmond would be!

Interesting

HSVK not sure where you got your data from

But I make us one short.
Same total games

799 wins
1298 losses
22 draws
2119 tot games
38.23%

The 799 reconciles with the Footystats site.
But stats.rleague agrees with your 800.
I am confused

Would probably take a century of domination!

A 13-9 average record over 100 years would do so...

When ya said a stat to celebrate, I thought ya might have meant my dream team flag victory

[Cam1lla]

will someone explain what you mean to me! i dont understand it?

[rogerwa]

we were heading in that direction

14 - 8 for the last 3 yrs..at that rate we could have cut the 100 yrs back to about 90

on current form break even will occur in about 500 yrs

Looks around, I can't see Barks...

I was thinking maybe it was hit outs to advantage

The mystery deepens ....

The "afl.allthestats" site agrees with 799 wins

I wonder if it has anything to do with a game against geelong about 90 years ago where we won, but played an ineligible player (he had been suspended in a country league), so we had the 4 points taken away, but the scores remained valid.
Perhaps the stats.rleague site still counts that game as a win ?

[Enrico_Misso]

As I suspected.

Correct result is
StKilda have won 799 games NOT 800.

The problem is Round 6 1909
Geelong 3.3 5.7 5.7 6.12 (48)
St Kilda 2.0 2.4 4.12 6.13 (49)
We won by a point

BUT

"For the first time in VFL/AFL history St Kilda forfeited the four premierships points for playing a suspended player against Geelong. The player was suspended by the Bendigo Football Association. The scores and percentages remained the same."

Unfortunately, because the scores were deemed to "stand", some sites using database analysis have counted this as a win when totalling cumulative wins.

But...

We could also say that we won... though we had our points deducted.

do you reckon its possible that we will ever square the ledger at 50%?

In 22 years...assuming we don't lose a game for the next 22 years
