What’s the most games played in a season by 2 players who didn’t play in the same game?
Sorry, you'll need to clarify the question. I'm not sure what you're asking.
Yes! I had a vague memory it had been answered but i couldn't find it... Thanks again then!
Without wanting to be over-presumptuous with somebody else's question, I think the question is asking: say you have two players in the same team. What if one player managed 10 games in a season and another player managed 10 games in the same season, but at no stage during the season did either play for their team in the same game?
You would think it is not possible to have two players go beyond 13 games each where they do not line up as team mates. If their team plays finals, and plays 26 games for the season (the highest total possible) they could only "avoid" each other a maximum of 13 times.

While here, is there an umpire who’s umpired a team the most?
Like, has an ump ever umpired, say, 50 Essendon games?

I reckon there'd be plenty of cases of 50+.
For Hawthorn:

Not as unusual as you'd think, given the scope for players to get injured mid-season & be out for the rest of the season, while their replacement mops up.

I am fascinated by the 14 cases of 25-1.
It means that a player has played every game of the season except one, while the other player's only game for the season happened to be that one game the first player missed.
While it is likely the second player replaced the first player for the game (due to injury or suspension), it is hard to fathom that the second player was only good enough for that one game in the whole season of 26 games.
Would appreciate if you could list the 14 instances of this happening.
Dammit, knew I should've kept the database query just in case...

Ron, are all those instances of 10-10 within the 22 home and away games era (from 1970 onward)?
Yes, the earliest is from 1975.
I should have clarified my reason for asking. Did you research seasons prior to 1970 or did the first 10-10 instance in VFL/AFL history occur in 1975?
Yeah I searched all seasons, e.g. there's a 12-11 from 1948.
Saw a question asked on Facebook today that would be great to have an answer for.
In Essendon's round 6, 2011 game against the Suns, they scored 15.4.94 in the first quarter and followed that up with a score of only 3.0.18 in the second to take their half time total to 18.4.112
The question is - is that -76 point drop the largest quarter to quarter regression in league history? Has there ever been a larger increase from a quarter to another quarter?

I just answered my own question thanks to the halves and quarters tab on AFL Tables
It is the largest either progression or regression at 76 points. The the largest progression is:
Round 14, 1975 Carlton vs Essendon. Carlton kick 1.4.10 in the first quarter and 14.1.85 in the second for a 75 point increase
Some very good efforts by other sides:
Round 17, 1983 - Fitzroy kicked 2.4.16 in the first and then 12.6.78 in the second for a 62 point boost followed by 2.2.14 in the third for a 64 point drop
Carlton kicked 13 goals 4 in the second quarter in their round 7 game in 1983 and amazingly kicked only one goal in each of the first and third quarters - 1.3 and 1.5 respectively. A 73 point increase followed by a 71 point decrease puts them very high in both counts, both recorded in the same game.
There were a lot of 60-70 point efforts, only a handful in the 70's

Who’s each clubs’ tallest captains ever?

- Norwood & Liverpool.
He wasn’t even the tallest Eagles captain in the 1980’s! Rance is taller.
Our two tallest captains have been Eric Mackenzie and Josh Kennedy.
I don’t think Dean Cox captained us despite being a long term leadership group member.
