[Willow]

For Vertigo

 

[Vertigo]

Sorry for the hold up.
In AFL, only once ever in the games history have four brothers from the same family played in the same game.
Name the brothers and for an extra point name the NSW country town they originated from.
Clue: Three of the four brothers at one time played for the same club.

No not the Sav brothers, Res-Dog.
I thought there was only two of them that played in the AFL. Was there two more?
Sav and Anthony Rocca and?

[Willow]

Well that does narrow the field somewhat.
Let me see..
one point....?

 

[Vertigo]

Actually Willow, that is also incorrect.
So that leaves zero points being the lowest winning margin.
But can someone tell me why or howthis is so?

This is a trick question and a very good one at that...I'm guessing.
The actual answer is 0 points.
It was the Newtown v South Sydney grand finalplayed on 17-Sep-1910 at theRoyalAgricultural Ground. At the fulltime siren, both sides were locked at 4-all. But because there was no extra time played in those days (I'm assuming), Newtown were awarded the grand final and premiersbecause they finished minor premiers in the regular season.
So the winning margin was zero points because there was a winner..Newtown.
I don't know if I'm right but either way excellent question Vertigo.

[Willow]

uh oh... I know where this is heading... is0 a number? How can we have a 'margin' of zero? Seem to recall a debate like this that went on for days.

If that is the answer... very clever stuff V.

 

[Vertigo]

Sorry fan-baller.
You posted exactly the same time I did, that I didn't bother to check until Willow just posted.
You are 100% correct. Your explaination is also spot on, so there's not much else for me to add. Actually your explaination is better than what mine would have been, because I didn't know the exact day it was played or where the venue was.
If I may ask; did you know the answer or did you search for it?
Either way, well done indeed.
I never even thought the number "0" being questionable as a winning margin, Willow. Glad that's out the way. Huh?
