You forgot ACT and Tasmania.
And before you say ACT's not a state neither is the NT.
As for the question, Gold Coast and GWS played pretty much everywhere in their first seasons.

When was the last time each team scored over 200 points?

Gold Coast, West Coast, GWS, Fremantle, Adelaide, Port Adelaide and Melbourne all without 200+ scores.
Melbourne University never registered a score of 200, let alone won by 100+.

What teams have won in every state and territory. I know the Bulldogs have done it. But has Melbourne also achieved it. I doubt any other side could have done so.
GWS played in every state and territory (and Geelong) excluding the NT in 2012.
Is the 71k for the 2003 Sydney v. Brisbane Prelim final the largest crowd involving two non-Victorian teams played outside Victoria?

Sydney playing in Sydney is not an interstate team.
Yes they are.
As opposed to two interstate teams playing in Melbourne in a grand final.

Perhaps rephrasing it as 'non-Victorian team' would make more sense
You said playing in Sydney. How is Sydney playing a final based in their own state be a final there of two interstate teams. Brisbane team would be interstate from NSW in that case and Sydney in their own home state are not. Bit of an odd type question.
Yes, the term interstate is a relative one but your proposed phrase is clear if that is what he meant.
can someone answer the rephrased question
Yes, it is. The only grounds I can think of that held over 70,000 capacity were Waverley Park and Homebush for footy after the Olympics there.
Waverley Park never had games with two non-Victorian teams play at it and Homebush in Sydney is only ground big enough to get a 71,000 crowd so it has to be that one.
This shows the highest number of states/territories clubs have played in in a season (finals games included), and the number of times they played that amount in a season. e.g. Fremantle have played in 7 states/territories on two occasions.
The Western Bulldogs played in all 8 states/territories in 2008. No other club has done this. Only from 2004 onwards has this been possible.

Are Brendon Goddard and Daniel Wells the longest serving top 2 picks from any national draft?
Port Adelaide, West Coast and Western Bulldogs have won in every state/territory. Melbourne haven't won a game in Tasmania, which rules them out! Plenty of clubs have never played games in all of the eight states/territories, so obviously aren't in the running!

Who knows?! I was actually amazed when I looked at the figures for Adelaide for games in Tasmania - 7 games for 1 win (6 losses)! I can't really think of a reason why they'd have such a poor record down there.Adelaide play Giants round 21 in the ACT.

Luke Hodge was pick 1 in 2001, and is still playing. This will be his 17th season. Goddard and Wells were top 2 picks in 2002, and have obviously had one less year than Hodge. Nick Riewoldt (#1) played for 17 seasons (2001-17).

I know that but are Goddard and Wells the top 2 top 2 picks from any draft?
Adding to that, were Riewoldt, Koschitzke and Didak the longest playing top 3 picks from any draft year?
Kozi and Didak retired in 2013, their 13th season.

In round 5 of the SANFL Women's Competition, North Adelaide defeated Sturt 14.9 (93) to 0.2 (2). When was the last time that a team failed to kick a goal in a match? The VFL/AFL record is Richmond scoring 0.8 (8) against St Kilda back in 1961, so I would be interested in knowing what the WAFL, SANFL and VFL records are. What is the most recent occurrence in suburban or country football?

Any chance we can keep the context of inquiry reserved for the VFL/AFL comp alone?
