Has an AFL game ever ended 36-24?
Exactly once. On September 3, 1910, St Kilda beat Carlton 36-24, and no AFL game before or since has ended that way. When it happened it was a scorigami, the first 36-24 in league history.
That makes 36-24 the 3836th most common final score out of 6,607 that have ever occurred in AFL. One point away, 37-24 has happened 3 times and 36-25 has happened never.
