Question 2. Who Am I? I played 272 games for North Melbourne and Adelaide during the 90s and early 2000s. I kicked over 700 goals playing out of the most demaning position, Centre-Half Forward. My nickname was "The King".

Answer: B. Jock McHale who coached 714 matches for Collingwood.

Question 6. During a match in 1993, Sandy Roberts whilst commentating a game was once quoted as saying, "There's a pig at full-forward!". Which player was this joke made towards?

Answer: Jim Stynes played 244 consecutive matches for Melbourne before a broken hand ended that run. Amazingly, early during this run, he fractured his ribs during a collision with David Neitz. Initially, the club doctor's ruled him out for 6 weeks. But Stynes was determined to play and wore a chest guard for the following weeks.

Haha, so you did.

I'm thinking of putting a twist on the next round....but I'm not quite sure how to score it yet. I'll work on it over the weekend.

you defs said the lowest score was 8... LIAR! :P

Yeah, about that. I didn't lie...as I was reworking the leaderboard, I realised that I had accidentally forgotten to correct yours (must have just slipped my mind). So the figures I posted yesterday hadn't included your score of 7.  ;)

Moderating online forums isn't resting, that's work. You don't work during holidays.
