Sydney number is correct.

13 brownlows. I'm guessing Skilton is the only multiple winner for the Swans so 11 individual medalists.
-
4. I would have thought as TS said Waverley, Telstra Stadium, Lake Oval and during the war Princes Park and Junction Oval.

2 - Did Stewie Griffiths go to Sydney? If so, him.

Not that I know of.
Clue of Qu 2.
One was drafted by Spud in his first year and eventually became a whipping boy on Tiger forums. The other played only 8 games but will be remembered for one important kick after the siren.

Nup. The venue was the home ground of a VFL/AFL team and it was a final b/w the Tiges and Swans.
Questions 4 (last venue), 6 (St Kilda, Fitzroy, Roos and ?) and 8 left to go.
-
8. Twice with no success, they didn't win a final til 96 IIRC.

I'm going to have to cheat and get out the almanac, but I won't answer it.

In my research I came across the following:
1922: Melbourne - Fitzroy was played at Princes Park because the MCG was unavailable due to a school-children's display. :rollin

Correct Jake :thumbsup
A midfield of Greg Williams, Gerald Healy and Barry Mitchell and they still got spanked in each final.
