SCORIGAMI: Sydney 123, North Melbourne 70 is the first 123-70 game in AFL history
AFL got a brand-new final score on August 23, 2026. Sydney beat North Melbourne 123-70, and in every AFL game since 1897, no game had ever ended that way before.
The league's previous scorigami was 157-101, Adelaide over GWS on August 22, 2026, 1 day earlier. This is AFL's 19th new final score of the 2026 season, and the grid now holds 25.6 percent of every realistic final score.
Its closest neighbors show how tight the score space had become: 124-70 had happened 3 times and 123-71 had happened 2 times. It sits in the busy heart of the grid, proof that even an ordinary-looking score can go a league's whole history without happening.
