How many times has a team kicked three goals after the siren in one game, like Sydney did tonight?

And has any team done all 4?

I remember the West Coast Eagles doing something similar in a game against Hawthorn, but given it was way back in 1994 I don't recall exactly what happened that day.

I think Sumich kicked a goal after 3 of the sirens

Since the reintroduction of the mid-season draft from 2018, is it possible for a senior player to switch clubs mid-season, and have there been any examples of this to date? I don't recall any but some obviously might have escaped my attention. For a hypothetical example Zach Merrett tried to leave Essendon for Hawthorn at the end of last season but the trade fell through, and so far 2026 is proving about as good a year for the bottom placed Bombers as 1929 was for Wall Street investors. If Zach Merrett, coach Brad Scott and Essendon officials had a meeting mid-season and it was mutually decided it was in everyone's best interests for Merrett to leave Windy Hill straight away, could Merrett nominate for the mid-season draft, be picked up by Richmond and continue 2026 as a Tigers player, providing Richmond had room in their salary cap?

Yes, he did!:



It won't let me post the whole article, annoyingly!

I'm sure that hasn't happened. These are the rules covering player eligibility:- https://play.afl/sites/default/files/2026-05/2026 MSRD Information - FAQs.pdf

2019 was the first year of the Mid-Season Rookie Draft. You'll find it on DraftGuru named as the 2018 AFL Mid-Season Draft, but it was held in May 2019!: https://www.draftguru.com.au/years/2018/midseason_draft

A few questions regarding surnames.

• What's the longest and shortest average surname length fielded by a team in one game? On the long end, 2005 Carlton had Camporeale, Koutoufides and Prendergast playing, while on the short end, 2005 Collingwood had Cole, Shaw, Rowe, Egan, Burns, and two Clokes.
• What's the most single-syllable surname line-up in history? As an example, Brisbane's side in Round 1, 2003 fielded Black, Brown, Hart, Lynch, Pike, B. Scott, C. Scott, Voss and White, for 9 out of 22.
• What's the most colourful line-up in history? The above game featured a Black, a Brown, and a White. There's also Green, Salmon, Pink, Gray and Rose to play with. If you include deviations and partial matches, Scarlett, Redden and Goldsmith are allowed. If you include translations, Lloyd (from Welsh "llwyd" meaning gray), Schwarz (from the German word meaning black), Couch (from Cornish "cough" meaning red) and Bronson (meaning "son of Brown")
