Correct

Your turn BD, seeing you got them both

Brad Fox was re-drafted (lord knows why) but that was the early 90's.... I didn't know Brad Fox was re-drafted! This fella played a lot more games than Brad Fox in his first stint Hmmm, I'm stumped now. The only name that sticks out (but I don't think it's him) is Peter Bennett. It couldn't be the ...

Your turn swooper. Back in the late 80s, two players returned to Essendon after stints at other clubs, although neither cracked it for a senior game second time around. Who were they?

Not Carey, and not Dunnell. Yes Carey was a late inclusion in 85. Think Frankie missed 83, played in the reserves flag of that year.

Either swooper or Rosso.......they collectively answered the question.

I guess you could call this part 2 of BD's question about the last minute withdrawal from the 83 GF:
When Bill Duckworth pulled out of the 83 Grand Final, who was his last minute replacement?

I'm pretty sure you're right Ben (I got the question from my copy of the 1984 Grand Final Football Record which I don't have at work with me) so you can take over now and ask the next question. You're the effing reason why I've cleaned my garage! I've been ran sacking the bloody place trying to fin...

B. Nash Michael M.Johnson HB. McPhee Fletch NLM C. Stants Watson Winderlich HF. Dyson Lucas Hird F. Lovett Lloyd Monfires R. Hille JJ McVeigh IC. Welsh Campo Laycock Johns EM. Cole Kep Pev Can see Cole forcing his way into the side, not sure at who's expense though. Maybe Woosha?

They all came from the same junior football club?

Just as well I threw Daisy into the mix, otherwise I may have had to give you the points there.

No, think early careers but not as early as junior.

I remember going to a game at Windy Hill in the early 80s when I think he kicked 8 against Fitzroy, so I'll go with that as my answer.
