We sit at the quarter way mark of the AFL season. We have a few more facts to explore from this year and more to uncover from the past.

I think Coventry's brother Sid was the captain. Do your research.

if you type in "Gordan Coventry captain" in google you will see how I got confused💀. Website was a bit dated. Sharp pick up

I love quirky facts! Here is one: goals to win from after the season are really rare. There have been just 56 in league history - but 8 of them were Geelong.

I still don't know about resetting the competition calling it the AFL but keeping the flag tally of all the Vic clubs. I'm a Bombers fan, but it just doesn't seem fair or right.

If you don't keep the old flags, Hawthorn are the most successful...

If Dunstall was more of your traditional goal hungry forward like Lockett was....Dunstall would've smashed the goal kicking record. The amount Dunstall would give of to others to keep them involved when he could've kicked them himself was phenomenal....but winning premierships was more important.

I imagine you've heard this before but it was actually Syd Coventry (Gordon's Brother) who was the club captain and Brownlow medallist. One of my favourite facts about Gordon was that he was nicknamed "nuts" for having a freakishly large head as a child.
