0 has never been a final score in AFL/AFLW history, 4 is the only other score under 200 never recorded.

OBSCURE FOOTY BIO #683: He only played two VFL matches (likely taking the field in only one of them) but it's his 100th birthday today, so I've written a bio for South Melbourne's Jack Lugg: australianfootball.com/playe…

NEW STORY! Bryan Crimmins, born 100 years ago today, was best known as the father of Hawthorn's Peter but, though he played only one game for Melbourne in 1944, he was the subject of a mini 'trade war' with South Melbourne that year. Here's my story: australianfootball.com/artic…

NEW COLUMN! If you think you know everything that went down in the #AFLTrade period, I'm here to prove you wrong. Anagrams, bad puns and postcodes abound in my in-depth* analysis of all 18 clubs' trade efforts. Check it out: australianfootball.com/artic…

A lot of @Richmond_FC fans would have been hoping to read about the Tigers beating Collingwood in the coming days. That won't happen, but here's Mic Rees recounting Richmond's come-from-nowhere win over the Pies in the 1973 Preliminary Final: australianfootball.com/artic…

Another brilliant piece of research and reminiscence from Mic Rees. Here he looks back at @PortMelbourneFC's hat-trick of VFA flags under Gary Brice in 1980-82. australianfootball.com/artic…

That we are not sure. What we have atm is:
He failed to attend all compulsory drill training (before WW1 broke out) , as he had a previous conviction (robbery with 4 boys)
He did run a pool hall ...so may have worked on that.

100 YEARS AGO TODAY: He only played 15 games for @CarltonFC, but he deserves a 650-word bio to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth, so I've written one for JIM JONES, whose career never quite got the chance it deserved. australianfootball.com/playe…

To celebrate today's date, 27/2:
Fitzroy kicked 2.27 in a match against Geelong in May 1928. The Maroons lost by 83 points, the largest ever V/AFL losing margin for a team that has had more scoring shots that the opposition. australianfootball.com/game/…
