So, I thought this could be a thing

I came up with a few interesting questions earlier, which I'll get into, but then thought, why limited ourselves? Everyone needs a good time waster mid-week.

I'll endeavor to get some new questions up weekly, answers will be first in best dressed and I'll keep a scoreboard here. An honour system is assumed, because where's the fun in Googling it all?

Prizes will include bragging rights, and that's about it.

True.

Do I win?
 
Round 1
For no constructive reason other than curiosity, I compiled the Team of the Week's off the AFL website for the 19 rounds so far (I want to compare with the All Australian team later in the year, and also wanted to avoid work) and the results are interesting ... so without any further rambling ...

1. Three players are tied on the most nominations at 8, name them: (1pt each)
2. Three players are tied on 7 nominations, name them: (1pt each)
3. Name the team with the most players nominated, bonus point for correct number: (1pt +1 bonus)
4. Name the team with the fewest players nominated, bonus point for correct number: (1pt +1 bonus)
5. Name the most nominated player from the following clubs: (1pt each)
a) Adelaide
b) Collingwood
c) Essendon
d) Gold Coast
e) Geelong
f) GWS
g) Hawthorn
h) Melbourne
i) Port
j) Richmond
k) St Kilda
l) Sydney

Hang on. You said Prizes will 'include' bragging rights - so there must be at least one other prize and probably more, otherwise the 'include' doesn't make any sense. So is it a car, or a warm feeling of satisfaction, or both?

Bloody hell I wasn't even close, some quite surprising names there. Kennedy and Laird the surprise ones. Thanks for doing that.
Yeah there are some big surprises, Coniglio with 7, and the sheer number of GWS players nominated were the biggest for me
