How many AFL players on the AFL field?

Who was the collingwood afl player banned for life after hitting an umpire?
I can't think of anyone - unless you are thinking of the 10 year suspension given to John Bourke after a reserves game in 1985 (which is virtually a lifetime suspension anyway). Bourke initially tripped a Swans player and was booked by field umpire Phil Waight. Bourke followed this up by throwing Waight to the ground. As he was being escorted from the field by the Magpies' runner lBourke leapt the fence to assault an abusive spectator. Strike 1, 2 and 3!
What are the negatives of eating oranges during sports?
There probably aren't any - unless you're still trying to eat it while taking a mark!
Oranges were traditionally eaten by players at 3/4 time - to give them almost instant energy for the last quarter.
Personally, I think the practice was just another one of those lost 'gems' of the past. Oranges and other fruits digest in only minutes, and certainly would clean out the system and deliver energy, within a short period, for the sport at hand.

How many interchanges are allowed in an afl game?
The number of interchanges is unlimited. Usually 50-60 interchanges are performed, but sometimes well over 100 interchanges per match have been performed.
Yes, I think so, because you're always trying to live up to your friends expectations, or beat your enemies, or something. This will nearly always make you more nervous and you'll probably lose in the end :-)
