"Footy Flashbacks"
Watching "Footy Flashbacks" on 7Two, I observed a match where the winning team was goalless in the first quarter, the losing team goalless in the last quarter and the winning team trailed by more than 4 goals at 3/4 time.

Turns out have been just 11 such matches and 9 have involved the one team and that team has won 7 of these matches.

"Footy Flashbacks" also featured one of only 2 matches played where the quarter time margin was 1 point and scores were even at half and three quarter time.

One Point Matches - Less Known Facts
There have been 306 matches decided by 1 point. Here are some facts and stats drawn from those results. Plus a table of all teams 1 point wins and loses.
