Luke Hodge about to captain his 15th final this week. Tuck captained 15, Scott 14, Matthews 13. What about other clubs?

My captains data isn't complete, these figures could possibly be missing finals where the players stood in for the regular captain:

Figures of course skewed towards the modern era with 6, then 7, then 9 finals the norm where it was 4 for most of the VFL years.

What is the least career votes to win a brownlow (after 3-2-1 implemtation)
 
Carlton's teams of 1906-07-08 obviously contained no Brownlow medallists as the award had not then been created.
Collingwood's teams of 1927-28-29-30 contained Syd Coventry (1927) and Albert Collier (1929). Harry Collier was awarded his medal retrospectively in 1989.
Neither of Melbourne's 1939-40-41 or 1955-56-57 teams contained a Brownlow medallist. Don Cordner played in the 1941 premiership but didn't win his medal until 1946.
Brisbane Lions 2001-02-03 teams contained Jason Akermanis (2001) and Simon Black (2002).
 
What club has got or has gotten closest to a clean sweep of awards, winning;
Minor Premiership
Premiership
Pre-Season Premiership
Brownlow
Norm Smith
AFLCA MVP
AFLPA MVP
Coleman
AA Captain
Rising Star
in one season? I know some of the awards are quite recent, only include if they were awarded in that specific year.

Geelong 2007 took most of those.

Essendon had a dominant season in 1993.

Night premiership
Michael Tuck medal (Gavin Wanganeen)
Minor premiership
Premiership
Brownlow Medal (Gavin Wanganeen)
Norm Smith medal (Michael Long)
AA Coach (Kevin Sheedy)

And because you really wanted to know, Tim Watson won Victoria's Father of the Year.

Has a team ever played 4 finals in 4 different states? I think it can only occur if you finish 3rd or 4th.

Or maybe 4 finals involving travel (could be the same city twice) eg Melb, Bris, Syd, Melb as a Perth based team.

Its only been possible since 1991, when there were four states in the leauge. The closest I can think of is Sydney in 2005, went Perth-Sydney-Melbourne-Melbourne and Brisbane 2003 who went Melbourne-Brisbane-Sydney(?)-Melbourne.

Brownlow wise, which pair of players have polled the most votes in the same game?

Uh - in every game ever played two players polled the most votes in the same game. The same game only happens once ever. Your question is nonsense
 
At a quick glance for 2015 details (and I think this is what you meant):

Priddis & Gaff (West Coast) scored votes in the same game 6 times
Kennedy & Hannebery (Sydney) votes in same game 5 times


Cheers Croucher.

You understood the question.

Now I wanna know who did it in their career.
 
Last night's game between Sydney and North resulted in the retirements of Adam Goodes (372 games) and Rhyce Shaw (237 games), a combined total of 609 games. In terms of two players retiring in the same game, where would this aggregate rank? I imagine the record would be held by Simon Madden and Terry Daniher in 1992 (691 games).
What would be the record aggregate for three players retiring in the same game? (playing for either team)

I believe these are the answers I was looking for.

Highest aggregate for two players retiring (or subsequently announcing their retirement) in the same game:

Games | Player 1 | Player 2 | Last game together
\691|Simon Madden (Ess, 378)|Terry Daniher (Ess, 313)|vs. Geel, Round 24, 1992
\641|Brad Johnson (WB, 364)|Nathan Eagleton (WB, 277)|vs. St. K, 2nd Pre, 2010
\615|Andrew McLeod (Adel, 340)|Simon Goodwin (Adel, 275)|vs. Geel, Round 16, 2010
\609|Adam Goodes (Syd, 372)|Rhyce Shaw (Syd, 237)|vs. Nth, 1st Semi, 2015
\599|Bruce Doull (Carl, 356)|Mark MacLure (Carl, 243)|vs. Haw, GF, 1986
\578|Ian Nankervis (Geel, 325)|Bruce Nankervis (Geel, 253)|vs. Haw, Round 22, 1983
\567|Chris Grant (WB, 341)|Luke Darcy (WB, 226)|vs. Nth, Round 22, 2007
\566|Luke Power (GWS, 302)|James McDonald (GWS, 264)|vs. Nth, Round 23, 2012
\563|Wayne Schwass (Syd, 282)|Tony Lockett (Syd, 281)|vs. Geel, Round 12, 2002
\561|Chris Langford (Haw, 303)|John Platten (Haw, 258)|vs. WB, Round 22, 1997
\556|Barry Davis (Nth, 289)|Doug Wade (Nth, 267)|vs. Haw, GF, 1975



The highest aggregates I can find for three players retiring (or subsequently announcing their retirement) in the same game are:

821 for Luke Power (302), James McDonald (264) and Chad Cornes (255), GWS vs. Nth, Round 23, 2012
772 for Chris Langford (303), John Platten (258) and Darrin Pritchard (211), Haw vs. WB, Round 22, 1997
770 for Anthony Stevens (292), David King (241) and Corey McKernan (237), Nth vs. Bris Lions, Round 22, 2004
