We play like we are on drugs but downers, not stimulants so, no, I don't think we are hyped up by Stanton's terror of flying. I think we just lack the pace and talent, especially in mid-field, to play well on the big grounds we encounter interstate. We are actually not too bad on the smaller SCG.

West Coast were pretty good too. As well as their two premierships, they made the finals every year during the '90s, including runners up in'91. I vote for them.

A good one was Fitzroy beating Geelong by six goals in 1963. Geelong were premiers that year and it was the only game Fitzroy won in two and a half seasons.

screw you gumby haters. the guy is going to still be a star :D shits me absolutely to tears when supporters eat their own, i hope you all choke on your own vomit. I don't hate him; I hope he plays every game after he gets over his latest setback and wins the Brownlow. The fact is though that he has...

How do you avoid the "reserved seat featurette"? I haven't signed up for the first time in many, many years because I prefer to stand and don't want to pay for something I will never use (especially as I was offered a seat behind the goals, a location I detest). I haven't heard from Scott ...

Carlisle - we may have an exceptional quality CHF on our hands here, this should be the year we find out for certain Melksham - has plenty of talent, just needs more experience and body strength to deliver consistently and this should be the year it starts to happen Zaharakis - stepped it up a notch...

Correct.

I was a promising young wingman/rover from Tasmania but was dogged by injuries during my three years at Essendon between 1988 and 1990. Due to injury, I managed only three games for five goals. Who am I?

David Sullivan

Greg Perry it is. Why the nickname I don't know but I do clearly recall that he was called "Rattler". He wasn't especially dirty so it is unlikely to imply that he struck like a rattlesnake. He wasn't red headed either, so it couldn't be a reference to the old "red rattler" trains.

Another who had his footy career wrecked by conscription/Vietnam but, no, it wasn't Lindsay. The man in question was purely a ruckman although, with Don McKenzie and then Graham Moss ahead of him in the pecking order, he spent most of his time in a pocket (forward pocket to begin with and back pocke...

Not Ian Anderson (although he was packed off to Vietnam too).

Another ruckman from the same era, I was nicknamed "Rattler". I missed more than a season when I was conscripted to serve in Vietnam and missed another season late in my career when I temporarily returned home to the bush. My younger brother, also a ruckman, played for Collingwood. Who am I?

Gary "Bronco" Grainger

Correct.

Well, that makes me look stupid. I was 100% sure it was Fields but you are right, he was back with us. I withdraw the question as I don't know either (unless I was right about Fields but wrong about his jumper). :oops: An easy replacement question: Name the twins who played for Essendon in the 1980'...

No, not Tony Morwood. There is a degree of irony involved.

In Round 21 of 1981 at Windy Hill, which South Melbourne player fell across Neale Daniher's knee, effectively ending his career.
