It's been a month, and I'd like to get this quiz up and running again. It's footy season now, so the questions should run through pretty quickly. Here's one to restart us:

Gibbsyspin - (and all that's been
said and
done) 01:40, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Name the three players who have polled Brownlow votes in the most games of a season. The record is 14. Gibbsy spin 03:04, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Jade Rawlings has been appointed coach of Richmond at the age of just 31. If Richo returns to action later this season we will have the case of a player being older than his coach. In what year did this last happen in the VFL/AFL and who was the coach (could be a caretaker)? Jevansen ( talk) 11:27, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
According to his Wikipedia page, which player was the first Sydney local to play with the Swans after they relocated from Melbourne? Jonesy ( talk) 07:57, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Woaah, sorry about the delay for this question; I've been busy with work/ill for a bit. Which former VFL footballer (famous in other fields) did I see at Tullamarine Airport the other day? -- Roisterer ( talk) 05:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

What record is held by Matthew Pavlich, Peter Burgoyne, Lance Franklin, Brad Johnson, Barry Hall, Tony Lockett, Alistair Lynch and Jason Dunstall? Each player is a leader in a certain categories of this record with a related qualification. Tony Lockett may lose his place in this list in the coming weeks, no one else is likely to be replaced in the near future. The-Pope ( talk) 16:56, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Forgot about this again. Sorry. The answer to the question was "leading non-native goalkicker in each state". Pavlich (from SA) has kicked more goals than anyone at Subi & the WACA; McLeod (from NT) is about to be overtaken by Taylor Walker (NSW) for the most goals in SA (needs 14 more), Franklin (WA) is now only one goal clear of Jarryd Roughead (Vic) in Tassie. Brad Johnson (Vic) and Barry Hall (Vic) still hold the records for the Northern and Capital Territories. Lockett (Vic) held the NSW record, but Micky O'Loughlin (SA) just pipped him at the end of 2009. Lynch (Tas) was overtaken by Jonathon Brown (Vic) for the Qlds record, and Dunstall (Qld) kicked over 1000 of his goals in Victoria, so Richo/Hudson (Tas) or Carey (NSW) weren't in with a chance. The-Pope ( talk) 13:57, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
This used to be so fun. Vale the WP:AFL Quiz! Gibbsy spin 11:42, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
