The footy quiz

[Shinboners]

Okay, ten questions, and if you get them all right, you will win precisely nothing.

1. Which current AFL player (geeze, he'll probably retire now) has the most premiership medals?

2. Which club had a grand total of ZERO games from all their draft picks in the first 2 national drafts?

3. Which club has their three greatest winning margins all against Richmond?

4. Who kicked the first goal at Colonial Stadium?

5. Which club finished a season with the highest percentage and yet still missed the finals? (And NO DAN24, this is not an invitation to get onto your hobby horse)

6. What did round 6 1993 and round 16 1993 have in common?

7. Which player kicked at least 10 goals in 3 consecutive rounds?

8. In 1989, Brad Hardie kicked 3 goals in a game against Richmond. What was unusual about those goals?

9. Name the 2 current players to have played for 5 different clubs.

10. Who are the only players to have captained their club to a premiership, won the best and fairest and lead the club goalkicking in the same season?

Answers will be posted later this week.

Okay, the answers were:

1. Darren Jarman (Haw '91, Adel '97 and '98)

2. Geelong. They drafted 10 players in '86 and '87 and didn't get a game out of any of them.

3. Adelaide. Their 3 greatest winning margins of 139, 137, and 110 points were all achieved against Richmond.

4. Michael Long.

5. Geelong. In 1932, they finished the season with the highest percentage of the year, but missed the finals.

6. In rounds 6 and 16 of 1993, three players all kicked at least 10 goals in each round. In round 6, it was Ablett 14 vs Essendon, Salmon 10 vs Geelong, and McAdam 10 vs Swans; in round 16, it was Modra 13 vs Richmond, Sav Rocca 10 vs Doggies, and Silvagni 10 vs Fitzroy.

7. John Coleman kicked 10, 11, and 10 goals respectively in rounds 1, 2, and 3 of 1953.

8. Brad Hardie's 3 goals were the only 3 goals scored by Brisbane in that game.

9. Dale Kickett has played for Fitzroy, West Coast, St. Kilda, Essendon, and Fremantle, and Adrian Fletcher who has played for Geelong, St. Kilda, Brisbane Bears, Brisbane Lions, and Fremantle. (Yeah, I know it's a trick question with the Brisbane bit, but the AFL regards them as separate clubs)

10. Wayne Carey in 1996 and Stephen Kernahan in 1987.
