3.  Stab in the dark.  Oppy was our FF and lined up on Reynolds who was their FB?  That’s gotta be curious.

Clue: more along personal lines.

4. Wasn’t that where Ess used to play before Windy Hill?

The correct answer was Essendon's home ground before they moved to Windy Hill. What was it called?

10. Won the premiership after a count back.

Nup. WP was correct to say they lost. But what game did they lose that no other premiership side in VFL/AFL history has lost?

Like WP you're very close tiga. Not quite the answer as they did what you said in 1897.

Clue is to think laterally. What game does every premiership side win each year that Essendon lost in the 1924 round robin finals series. It was against Richmond too.

Nup.

Which match does the premiership team win that no other side does each year? Essendon in 1924 didn't win this match.

That's true they did win by % but it's not the answer. See reply to WP's last post.
