Has an AFL game ever ended 49-24?
Exactly once. On July 6, 1901, Essendon beat Geelong 49-24, and no AFL game before or since has ended that way. When it happened it was a scorigami, the first 49-24 in league history.
That makes 49-24 the 3836th most common final score out of 6,607 that have ever occurred in AFL. One point away, 50-24 has happened 1 times and 49-25 has happened 1 times.
