I played for the mighty Swans in the WAFL, and represented Western Australia in State of Origin matches.

Who missed out on playing in St Kilda's one and only premiership after doing his knee in the 1966 second semi-final? Snottygobble 03:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Throughout much of the 1970s, remembering the highest record score was easy: Carlton, 30:30:210. Then in 1978, Footscray kicked 12 goals in the last quarter at the Western Oval against St Kilda to finish with 33:15:213. Incredibly, Kelvin Templeton finished with 15:9, including 8 or 9 goals in that frenetic last quarter. Believe it or not, St Kilda kicked the first 2 goals of the quarter, and Footscray the last 12! Footscray finished 2nd bottom that year, but Kelvin Templeton topped the goal kicking and they had a record score - almost worth a premiership! However, they were to hold the record for less than one season. Who next broke the record (of the highest score), what was the score and who was it scored against? ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 12:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Getting short on ammo here.

What was the name of the one-off knockout Cup, and the winning team in the associated "Grand Final" which was held in Perth over one weekend sometime in the 1970s between Claremont, North Adelaide, West Perth, East Fremantle, Port Adelaide, Richmond, Hawthorn and East Perth? -- I@n ≡ talk 02:09, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
I have previously mentioned that Kelvin Templeton kicked 15:9 in one game in 1978. Since that time two famous full forwards have come even closer to equalling Fanning's record of the most goals scored in a single match. Who are these two famous full forwards, and what was their (startingly accurate) goals and behinds kicked on each occasion? (let me know if I haven't been clear enough) ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 09:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
