1. Name the 16 AFL captains and their jumper number?

2. Select any jumper number you like - name the player at each club wearing it?

Don't post the answers, just your result.

Mine?

1. Got 16 capatins and 15 numbers correct.

2. Best result was 11 number 5s.

    The only teams i could get captain and number correct were Adelaide, Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn, Melbourne & Sydney (for a total of 7).

    I couldn't even think of Richmond's captain's name. For Essendon & Fremantle I only just missed their numbers and for Port Adelaide I doubled his number, sort of.

    So 15 captains & 7 numbers.

    I didn't give the second challenge a go.

    Managed to get all 16 captains (or should that be 15 and 1/2, I didn't realise ... shared the captaincy with ...).

    Struggled with the numbers though. Got close to a few of them (e.g. knew ... was in the ..., had ... as a ... not a ...) but only ended up getting 7 numbers right.

    Not quite up there with you blokes.

    Might help anyone else going to try if you deleted your answers above ...

    Google AFL squads or something Nasher. Wikipedia has a page with all 16 teams on it.

    I got 15 captains and 14 numbers...not the best!

    On about 8 number 4's and 5's. Is there a time limit?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
