I think I'll get the ball rolling, keep adding to the increasing list. I always find these interesting. Happy Quirks!
- Gary Rohan
& Ken Hinkley are cousins.
- Hawthorn & Richmond have won 26 of the last 100 AFL/VFL Premierships. They've crossed paths in finals only once and never in a Grand Final. The 2018 Qualifying Final was their only match up.
- Fitzroy won the wooden spoon in 1916. They also won the premiership in 1916.
- VFL Park's initial plan was for it to hold a capacity of 150,000 people.
- Collingwood have a better win/loss record than every single club in the AFL/VFL - Except one. West Coast. They are tied with Carlton too.
- Collingwood were once a financially strapped club. Their arch rival Carlton supported them joining the VFL in 1897 and even allowed Collingwood to keep gate receipt income from home matches!
- In 1924, Footscray from the VFA defeated the reigning VFL Premiers Essendon. This victory was the catalyst in the growth of the VFL competition. In 1925, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and Footscray all joined in the VFL.
- Essendon were once known as the 'Blood Stained N word'. No records can be found of Essendon referring to themselves as this, it was more a fan-made nickname such as 'mosquito fleet' and 'baby bombers'. None the less, a reflection of past generations and racism and a cruel reminder why we must continue to grow as a society.
- Although unrelated to the Richmond Football Club established in 1885. Tom Wills, the inventor of Aussie Rules, founded and captained the original Richmond Football Club in 1860.
- Geelong and Ford hold the WORLD record for longest tenured sponsorship between a sporting club and corporate company. Now that's cool!
- Port Adelaide shocked South Australian Football when they submitted an application to join the VFL. The other SANFL clubs hated them so much they banded together to form the Adelaide Crows. Which joined the competition instead. According to rumour and innuendo, Port Adelaide were furious because they wanted to use the moniker 'The Crows'. Could you imagine the Port Adelaide Crows? Weird...
- Luke Darcy had one 24 hour period where he partied with the US Open tennis champion, saw the twin towers collapse in New York City and Tony Liberatore
have a conversation with Michael ******* Jackson.
