I haven't bothered checking them all, but Essendon didn't have the same percentage. One year it was 100.00%, the next 100.05%

The tradition with VFL/AFL ladders, and all ladders in all competitions across Australia as far as I'm aware, is to have one decimal place, with the second digit after the decimal determining whether or not there is a need to round off the first digit after the decimal. I used this traditional method when assembling the table you have quoted.

What is the oldest aggregate for 2 players on the field? EG. When Vic Cumberland was 42yo, he played against a 36yo. And when he was 43yo, with some 33yo's.

There's a record that will never be broken, what about in the AFL era and by team (ie - including the current teams)?

Yesterday, Liam Dawson made his debut for Brisbane wearing No. 24.

We've just completed Round 8.

The last player to wear No. 24 for Brisbane, Joel Patfull, made his AFL debut in Round 8 but in 2006.

Both games were on a Sunday and the losing score from both games, 78.

Looking on AFL Tables, I note the 1/4 Time leading score from Brisbane vs Port Adelaide was 5.3.33.
Yesterday's game, the leading score at 1/4 Time was 5.3.33.
Both registered by Brisbane.

Looking on AFL Tables, I note both players kicked a goal in their first games.

Damn! 12:47 left in the WB vs GWS game and the Giants post their first behind courtesy of a rush-through. Would have been a record for the highest score (8.0.48) without a behind kicked in VFL/AFL history


Lachie Whitfield with their first official behind.
