Biggest turnaround by points per day

Postby spell_check » Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:27 pm

If you thought the 108 point turnaround by the Eagles versus Sturt over the past two weeks was impressive, take a look at this. If you divide 108 points by the number of days between meetings (7) it equals 15.43 points per day:

Biggest turnaround by points per day (7 points or more)
15.43 (108/7) - Rd 23 2010 to EF 2010 Sturt won by 38 Eagles won by 70
11.07 (155/14) - Rd 25 1994 to 2SF 1994 Port won by 82 Eagles won by 73
9.29 (65/7) - Rd 18 1960 to 1SF 1960 West won by 18 Norwood won by 47
8.57 (60/7) - Rd 14 1903 to 1SF 1903 North won by 41 South won by 19
8.00 (112/14) - 2SF 2006 to GF 2006 Central won by 36 Eagles won by 76
7.86 (110/14) - 2SF 1994 to GF 1994 Eagles won by 73 Port won by 37
7.57 (159/21) - Rd 20 1982 to EF 1982 Central won by 109 Glenelg won by 50
7.50 (105/14) - QF 2011 to PF 2011 Norwood won by 61 Eagles won by 44
7.14 (100/14) - 2SF 1941 to GF 1941 Sturt won by 71 Norwood won by 29
7.07 (99/14) - QF 1973 to PF 1973 Sturt won by 6 North won by 93

This 'turnaround' stat is very misleading.
When teams play the second game, the scores always
commence at zero, therefore the margin of the first game is much like a default setting.
I.E, it hasn't been pegged back by the team winning the second game.
A true 'turnaround' would occur during an actual match.
If one person does it, it's insanity. If millions do it, it's religion.

Incredibly two of these top 'turnarounds' were consecutive matches between the Eagles and Port in 1994. :shock:

Thats a huge margin to between the #1/#2 team in the comp at seasons end.

And there was a turnaround in the actual GF. Eagles were a decent margin in front at half time.
Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Can't argue with your logic, but it's not as if I'm the only person who has used the term for different matches:

viewtopic.php?f=30&t=23052

It would be interesting to work out the biggest turnaround within the one match. You would need to set a parameter for it - eg. either side would have had to have lead by four goals or so during the game. Having a team lead by a goal or two at quarter time, only to lose by 80 or 90 points I wouldn't qualify as noteworthy as someone leading by 30 points at quarter time, then losing by 70. Only my opinion, of course. :)
