Notable events



  • In their Round 1 match of the reserves competition, both St Kilda and Brisbane Bears were found to have fielded unregistered players. St Kilda was stripped of the premiership points it had earned for winning the game, and they consequently could not be awarded to Brisbane. Both clubs were also fined.[1]

  • In Round 6, Geelong’s losing score of 25.13 (163) against Hawthorn remains the highest losing score in VFL/AFL history.

  • The wettest Melbourne winter since 1952[2] saw horrible conditions between Rounds 11 and 13 that produced several unusually low scores:



  1. in Round 11 on the Saturday before the Queen’s Birthday, Fitzroy’s score of 1.8 (14) was the lowest since Footscray kicked an identical score against Geelong in 1965, and the first single goal score since Carlton’s 1.11 (17) on Anzac Day of 1968.

  2. on the same day, Brad Hardie kicked 3.4 (22) – with all the three goals coming in the first fifteen minutes – of only 3.8 scored by the Bears, this being the first time a player had kicked all his team’s goals[a] since Alex Ruscuklic on the same weekend of 1967.[3]

  3. in Round 13 Essendon and Footscray played the lowest scoring game since the 1927 Grand Final, with the teams combining for only 6.15 (51).


  • Geelong set a record for the most points scored in the home-and-away season, 2916. Footscray’s season aggregate score of 1614 points was the lowest since 1972.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
