Has an AFL game ever ended 36-34?
Exactly once. On August 1, 1914, Carlton beat Geelong 36-34, and no AFL game before or since has ended that way. When it happened it was a scorigami, the first 36-34 in league history.
That makes 36-34 the 3836th most common final score out of 6,607 that have ever occurred in AFL. One point away, 37-34 has happened 1 times and 36-35 has happened 2 times.
