The birth of Australia's monarch has been celebrated with a public holiday ever since 1788. It was always held on the actual birthday of the Monarch, the last such being King George V (Jun 3, 1865 - Jan 20, 1936). With Edward VIII (b. Jun 23, 1894) becoming the new King, it was decided to cement the public holiday as the 2nd Monday in June (in VIC and most states).

My question is: the largest H&A game remains the 99,256 that turned up to the MCG for Melbourne and Collingwood on Monday, June 16, 1958, that is, the 3rd Monday in June. From what I can deduce, this was actually a week after the King's Birthday holiday. Anyone know what the story is?

EDIT: found this so far ...
According to The Argus, Tue 22 Aug 1939, page 8:
June 12, 1939 - 2nd Monday
June 17, 1940 - 3rd Monday

It was the Queen's Birthday holiday in 1958. I'm not sure why, but they obviously chose to have it on the 3rd Monday in June.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/91248970 (Canberra Times - 29 April 1958)
Queen's Birthday On June 16
SYDNEY, Monday.—The Queen's birthday holiday will be held on Monday, June 16.
The holiday will be on the same day in all States except Western Austraia.

https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1959.html#11 || https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/114844207
In 1959 it seems the holiday was on the 15th June (3rd Monday).

Edit: In 1956 it was held on the first Monday in June (instead of the second Monday): https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/71799873 (The Argus - 28 April 1956)

June holiday for Queen
The Queen's Birthday holiday would be held on Monday, June 4, Mr. J. L. Eabry, Chief Secretary's Department chief clerk, said last night.
He said normally the holiday was held on the second Monday in June, but this year it had been proclaimed for the first Monday.

With Daniel Hannebery set to become the first player born in 1991 to 200 VFL/AFL games, who was the first player per YOB to 200 games?

Extending that, the first from their YOB to 100 VFL/AFL games.

Cheers.

Ben Hart features in some of these
 
After scrolling through some local microfilm I discovered that in the Heathcote District Football League in 1986 there was one round in which Heathcote kicked 33.15 (213) whilst in another game Elmore kicked 31.27 (213). What is the highest score kicked by two teams in one round in the VFL/AFL?

First thing that came to mind was these games.

https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2004/051020040605.html.

https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2004/121420040605.html

Essendon and Kangaroos: 24.10.154.
Hawthorn and Richmond: 12.8.80.

So 24.10.154.

doesn't answer your question, but the last time that Melbourne did was in 1991.
R1: 20:eek: ---- R2: 180 ---- R3: 145 ---- R4: 155 ---- R5: 182

NB: that was not a string of 4 wins, R3: STK 154 - MEL 145

Re: that Saints/Demons game, it managed to be a very high-scoring game despite the club's respective leading goalkickers from that season (Lockett, Jakovich) not playing that day.

Also, Melbourne Brownlow Medalist Brian Wilson kicked 6 goals that day... except he was playing one of his 7 games for St Kilda!

This should be the top 3:-
In 1985 Rd. 18 Essendon and Footscray scored 166 (25.16 for both teams): https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1985.html#18

In 1984 Rd. 22 Fitzroy (24.20) and Hawthorn (25.14) scored 164: https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1984.html#22

In 1982 Rd. 18 Fitzroy and Richmond scored 163 (24.19 for both teams): https://afltables.com/afl/seas/1982.html#18

What's the story behind these rounds play entirely on a Wednesday (not ANZAC Day)? Round 3, 1899 & Round 5, 1920 .
Click to expand...
From the book Every Game Ever Played:

Round 3, 1899 : The League played it's first morning match on the Queen's Birthday, Wednesday, 24 May. Colingwood and St Kilda met at Victoria Park at 11.00 am. The other three games were played that afternoon.

Round 5, 1920 : The League decided to play a round of matches to coincide with the Prince of Wales' visit to Melbourne. Richmond played Collingwood, and Fitzroy played Geelong on the morning of Wednesday, 26 May. The other two Round 5 matches were played that afternoon. Both were in the same locality as the Prince's procession along St Kilda Road. An interstate match was played the following Saturday.

23 games have been played on a Tuesday. The only night game was the one on the eve of Anzac Day this year (Melbourne vs. Richmond).

Now that ANZAC Day eve is starting to become a tradition for Richmond and Melbourne, I wonder if they will also play next year. It will be a Wednesday night and they could get more than the 1996 game between Essendon and Geelong (75632). Was at that game with a mate. Boris dominated with a ridiculous 9 straight and Longy returned from injury only to injure himself kicking a set shot for goal!

It would be surprising if they didn't have those two playing that game next year. They have met once before on a Wednesday night, in the opening game of the 2000 season: https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/2000/111420000308.html

Together with Rd. 23: 2017 Richmond vs. St Kilda MCG 69,104, these are the only rounds to never have an 85,000 crowd. Even Rd 24. has had one
Rd. 24: 2011 Collingwood vs. Geelong 85,705

Melbourne vs Collingwood on Queen's Birthday in Rd. 12 could be a record Rd. 12.
Geelong vs Richmond in Rd. 13 could be a record Rd. 13 crowd.
Essendon vs Collingwood in Rd. 16 could be a record Rd. 16 crowd if both sides are potentially finals-bound.
Richmond vs Bulldogs in Rd. 23 could attract 70,000 for the first time ever for a Rd. 23 match.

St Kilda Essendon 1996

Good one! I was a bit worried when I first read this post, then I remembered the "lights out" game at Waverley all those years ago! Here's a brief summary for anyone who isn't aware of what happened:

1996 - Essendon v St Kilda - Waverley Park. With 4m 48s of the 3rd quarter remaining, the ground lighting failed and was unable to be restored.
The balance of the match was then played the following Tuesday - however new teams were selected.
As a result 26 players turned out for Essendon, 25 for St. Kilda. 17,590 attended the second phase of the match, however this figure is currently
not included in attendance figures.

https://afltables.com/afl/notes.html

The Round 10 game between St Kilda and Essendon was interrupted at the twenty-minute mark of the third quarter when Waverley Park lost power, causing the floodlights to go off. The remaining quarter and a bit was played three nights later.
  • Subsequently, the AFL introduced contingencies that a game could be abandoned, with the progress result accepted as final at any point beyond half time, at the agreement of the captains when (a) any unexpected incident delays a game by half an hour, or (b) if dangerous weather conditions, most typically lightning, prevail.
