1986 AFC FOSTER'S FOOTBALL CUP
|
*The series evolves - after four seasons of stability the format underwent major changes:
*The trophy goes back on show - after two seasons of being presented in the rooms, the post-match trophy presentation returned to its traditional place on the arena. *Goalkickers aplenty - the Collingwood-North Adelaide quarter final featured 17 goals... kicked by 17 individual goalkickers. |

*Leading goalkicker of the series - Dunstall led all scorers with 16 goals from 3 games.
*Return of the lucky-loser - the two WAFL teams no longer taking part left fourteen teams in the opening round, meaning only seven teams would advance to the quarter finals instead of the required eight. This resulted in a 'lucky loser' system being used for the first time since the 1981 Night Series.
In 1977, 1978 and 1981 this system had allowed the losing team with the highest percentage to advance to the next round. However, in 1986 the AFC changed this to the team with the lowest losing margin. The change had an immediate, and unintended, effect when both Collingwood and Sydney lost by 26 points in the first round forcing a playoff to be held on April 22 (the AFC were lucky not have three teams tied, with Melbourne losing by 27 points).
*Swans in a fixturing fiasco - April 22 was originally a vacant week in the Night Series schedule due to the Anzac Day split round in the VFL competition. Later rounds of the AFC schedule had already been squeezed around the VFL fixture so the AFC had no option but to hold the Lucky Loser playoff on the 22nd. This left Sydney with the daunting task of playing three matches in six days:
- Sunday, April 20 - Rd.4 premiership match
- Tuesday, April 22 - Night Series playoff
- Friday, April 25 - Rd.5 Anzac Day premiership match
Understandably, Sydney coach Tom Hafey chose to rest half his senior line-up for the playoff and focus on the premiership matches. [The Age 23-4-1986]
*Grand Final rollercoaster - Carlton went scoreless in the opening quarter and were held to just 3 behinds in the first half, yet only trailed by 12 points at halftime. Remarkably, they kicked 5 goals to 2 in the third quarter for a 7 point lead at the final break, only to finish the match the way they started it... scoreless; Hawthorn eventually overrunning the Blues for a bizarre 30-point victory.

NOTES: |
||||||||||||
|
Due
to the WAFL's top-two teams no longer participating, the AFC were left with 7
winners in the first round, and 8 teams needed in the quarter finals. |
||||||||||||
|
This
resulted in a 'lucky loser' system being used for the first time since the
1981 Night Series. In 1977, 1978 and 1981 this system had allowed the |
||||||||||||
|
losing
team with the best percentage to advance to the next round. |
||||||||||||
|
However,
in 1986 the AFC changed this to the team with the lowest losing margin. Both Collingwood
and Sydney lost by 26 points in the first round |
||||||||||||
|
forcing
a playoff to be held on April 22 (the AFC were lucky not have three teams
tied, with Melbourne losing by 27 points). |
||||||||||||
|
NOTE
- if the old percentage-based system had been in place, Glenelg
(70.47) would have progressed instead of Collingwood (69.76) or Sydney
(63.38). |

April
22 was originally a vacant week in the Night Series schedule due to the Anzac
Day split round in the VFL fixture. Later rounds of the AFC schedule |
||||||||||||
|
had
already been squeezed around the VFL fixture so the AFC had no option but to hold
the playoff on the 22nd. |
||||||||||||
|
This
left Sydney with a daunting schedule that included a two-day break: |
||||||||||||
|
Sunday,
April 20 - Rd.4 premiership match / Tuesday, April 22 - Night Series playoff
/ Friday, April 25 - Rd.5 Anzac Day match. |
||||||||||||
|
Not
surprisingly, Sydney coach Tom Hafey chose to rest
half his senior line-up for the playoff and focus on the premiership matches.

|
Carlton's
Round 12 premiership match against Hawthorn had been scheduled for Princes
Park on June 14 but the VFL transferred the match to the MCG |
||||||||||||
|
on
Sunday, June 15 in order to maximise attendance. This meant Carlton would
only have a two-day break before the Night Series semi-final on June 17. |
||||||||||||
|
The
AFC responded by moving the match to the 24th and reducing the gap between
the Night Series semi-finals and Grand Final to one week instead |
||||||||||||
|
of
the standard two-week break. |

|
Carlton
were held goalless in 3 quarters and scoreless in 2 quarters yet somehow were
still a chance of winning the game until the final quarter. |
|||||||||||||
|
Remarkably,
having entered halftime without a goal they kicked 5 goals to 2 in the third
to lead at three-quarter-time by 7 points; then did not score |
|||||||||||||
|
again
and lost by 30 points! |
