Martin Windsor-Black
TIGERS START WITH SIX NIGHT GAMES IN 2006
Regular Diary reader Rhett Bartlett asks if the the six night matches by Richmond to start the 2006 season is a record ... our stats whiz Martin Windsor-Black notes this equals the six played by the Tigers in 2002 and 2003.

The record for successive night matches is EIGHT, already held in Brisbane, which will will again be equalled by the Lions and St Kilda in the new season.

MWB delivers the complete status of premiership matches played at night:

THE RECORD IS EIGHT....

u Richmond will start the 2006 season with 6 consecutive night matches.

u Essendon will conclude the 2006 H & A season with 6 consecutive night matches and equal their club record of 2002 and 2003.

u In Round 4 St.Kilda will equal Brisbane's 1998/1999 record of 8 consecutive night matches, St.Kilda's streak started in Round 21 and continued into the finals.

u Also in Round 4 against Hawthorn, Carlton will beat their club record of 3 consecutive night matches in 1999, 2002 and 2003. 

u Carlton's streak will extend to 5 the following week against Richmond.

u Brisbane will also equal the record of 8 consecutive night matches between Rounds 10 and 17.

u Fitzroy played 24 night matches – none consecutively.

u Essendon had 6 consecutive H & A Night Matches from 2001-R20 to 2002-R4.

u If the 1998 Grand Final has been a night match, North Melbourne Kangaroos would have played 12 night matches in succession. As it was they played 11 night matches out of 12.

u Compare that ratio with their 19 matches between Round 16 2005 and Round 11 2006, NM Kangaroos will play just 1 night match - in Round 1 at Port Adelaide.

u Geelong will equal a club record in Round 8 with their 4th consecutive night match.

u Sydney will equal their club record of 4 consecutive night matches in Round 18.

u Interestingly, Geelong do not play a single night match in the second half of the 2006 season – the last time they played 11 consecutive matches without a night match was in the opening 11 rounds of 2003.

u For the league record, Collingwood played 1748 matches before their first Night Match. in 1985-R1 against North Melbourne. They played just 2 Night matches in their next 153 matches.

l The top 4 teams for 2004 polled the 4 highest number of votes.

l And when was the last time that Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and Melbourne polled the 5 least number of votes?

l Comparing the club totals from last season's count, the grand finallists had 70 fewer votes this season.  The 3 Big improvers were Adelaide, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn.

l Movement from 2004 ...

St.Kilda, –4
Essendon, –10
Collingwood, –12
Geelong, –19
Melbourne, –22
Carlton, –26
Port Adelaide, –30
Brisbane, –40

Some observations from this years count –
l 202 players polled this year – compared to 200 last year
l Carlton were the only side not to have 10 players.

l 24 players who polled votes were ineligible (up from 22 players in 2004)

Fraser Gehrig * St Kilda 10
James Hird * Essendon 8

l Of the 1056 votes awarded, 868 (82.2%) were awarded to the winning side and 182 (17.2%) were awarded to the losing side, 6 votes (0.6%) were awarded in the drawn match between Carlton and Port Adelaide.

l In Round 2, the losers polled 23 of the 48 votes, and 18 in Round 3.  In Round 4, only ONE vote was awarded to a losing side - to the Western Bulldogs against West Coast.

l The breakup of the votes awarded to the losing sides is as follows:
31 – Hawthorn – more than the Hawks polled in 2004
25 – Western Bulldogs
17 – Essendon
16 – Collingwood
12 – Brisbane, Carlton and Fremantle
11 – St.Kilda
9 – Geelong and Richmond
8 – Adelaide and Kangaroos
5 – Sydney
4 – Port Adelaide
3 – West Coast

l Melbourne did not poll a single vote in their 10 losses – and polled just 5 votes in the last 10 rounds (all in the last 3).

l Hawthorn were the ONLY team which polled all 6 votes in every game they won.   They polled the 1-2-3 in their 5 winning games in Rounds 4, 8, 9, 17 and 20.

l St.Kilda polled in 21 of the 22 rounds – failing to get a single vote in their Round 9 loss to Adelaide.

l Richmond's Best & Fairest Joel Bowden did not poll a single vote.

l Cousins is the first #9 winner not to play for Hawthorn (following Austen, Dipper & Crawford).

l Adelaide's 92 votes from 17 players is a club record beating their 87 votes in 1998 from 16 players.

l Fremantle's 69 votes from 12 players is also a club record beating their 66 votes in 2003 from 12 players and 61 votes last year also from 12 players.
