Without external information:

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.

1. Like you old55 I got 16 and 15 numbers right. Eagles skipper number incorrect.

2. 12/16. - Number 5's

Clubhouse leader!

Wont say which captain number I got wrong because it gives a clue to what it is.

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?

Okay, done.

- 16/16 captains and numbers correct.

- 13/16 number 5s (missed an obvious one, one player I'd never heard of and one I probably should've known)

- I also got 12/16 number 4s (I attempted every number from 1-10 - these were my best results)

Not too bad I thought :)

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
