This is how this flag was won. As noted, percentages as a trend were much higher in the early days of the comp, across shorter seasons.

Looking at premiership teams only, Melbourne's performance does compare favourable with any in the last hundred years. (Scoring was low in the early years and percentages therefore inflated.)
