Has an AFL game ever ended 40-25?
Exactly once. On July 1, 1939, Footscray beat Geelong 40-25, and no AFL game before or since has ended that way. When it happened it was a scorigami, the first 40-25 in league history.
That makes 40-25 the 3836th most common final score out of 6,607 that have ever occurred in AFL. One point away, 41-25 has happened 1 times and 40-26 has happened never.
