Answer: Melbourne

This was the second time that a club won their only game for the season by beating Melbourne. The other time came in 1993 when the Sydney Swans won their only game that year against the Dees at home.

The Giants' win over Melbourne was their first against a Victorian club (they entered the competition in 2012).

7. Which player won the Brownlow Medal, for the second time?

Answer: 13

The 13 votes Melbourne players received in 2013 was the lowest by any team in a single season in the history of the Brownlow Medal. Nathan Jones was their top vote-getter, with only six.

Answer: Michael Voss

As a player, Michael Voss led the Brisbane Lions to three consecutive premierships, between 2001-03. However, he would not have the same success as coach, his best result in four completed seasons being a semi-final appearance in 2009.
