Premiership Trivia

Adding three premiership players to the team in Broad (R17), Townsend and Graham (R22) has never previously been done so late in the season. Hawthorn for example did not introduce a premiership player to the team after Round 7 in any of their threepeat years.
Collingwood did something similar back in 1958, adding three players in Rounds 16-18 (in an 18-round season) who went on to play in their upset GF win over Melbourne.

Is this the first time we have had 22 premiership players on our list? The closest I think we would have been close would be maybe around 1974-75?

Going by players who played senior games rather than 'list':
1975 - 23
1974 - 26
1973 - 23
1969 - 25
We had 21 back in 1921.
Record is 27 for Hawthorn 1991, Adelaide 1998 and Brisbane 2003.
22nd premiership team with all players under 30. Richmond has 5 of the 22 (1932,67,69,74,2017).
Grigg at 29y164d was the oldest player. Last premiership team with a younger oldest player was Essendon 1984.

this thread seems a good place for all the trivia questions and achievements there will be of our 2017 premiership.
eg first team with no GF experienced player
first team from 13th last year, to Premiers next year etc.
id think the list would be long

Collingwood 2010 is an anomaly as Malthouse phased out older players approaching finals - very unusual for a premiership team.

The 6 oldest guys on our list who don’t have a premiership medal are:
Actually none of them have played in a winning final.
Lloyd hasn’t played In an AFL Final at all.
Hampson
Lloyd
Griffiths

Conca
The next one down is Drummond

Number 4 has happened a lot I would think.
In the 1969 finals, we played in front of 100,000+ three times in a row.
As did Cartoon in 1970.
St. Kilda in 1971 played in front of 90,000+ three times in a row.
In those days when there were fewer finals and more weekends when there was only the one game (and the G could hold a few more), it would have been rather common place.

Thanks. I thought it might have happened in the late 60's -early 70's, but not lately, especially with interstate finals not holding anywhere near that
I have another. Not sure if it's true or not.
Is the number 4, the only number to have been worn in all our premierships?
