Another crazy statistical scoring quirk

The reserves last weekend. 5 teams, including at least one in every game, kicked 8 goals and more behinds than goals (range: 8.12 to 8.19).
Not sure how you fit that into a neat statistical question, though. Other than the more general ones:
1. Highest number of teams who have kicked the same number of goals in a round?
2. Highest number of teams who have kicked the same number of goals, and all of them more behinds than goals, in a round?

As always, you're a genius.
Round 13, 1968 was mental for its evenness: lowest score 10 goals (70 points), highest score 13 goals (102 points). Some achievement in a 10-team comp, on what was presumably not a mudbath day (it's easier to get a spread of just 5 goals if the lowest score is 20 points and the highest is 50!). I guess, back in that era, the even spread was only possible in rounds when the Peckers and Centrals played each other!
Actually, a few years ago there may have been a thread on this very topic.

Sorry to go off on a tangent Spelly, but that round in 1968 provides another question ... What is the lowest aggregate winning margin in a round, say in both 8/9 and 10 team comps?

In here, also done with a three match round - either with a 7 team comp or three clubs having a bye in the same round.
