I knew he started his career late and I couldn't think of many players who in their 2nd year and with their 2nd club played in a GF.BenDoolan wrote:Shit yeah! Was the last clue the give away?robrulz5 wrote:Could it be Derek Kickett?
Absolute f****** disaster. I was sucked in by the start of the game. We kicked the first two goals (both to Salmon) and I thought we were in for a good day. We only kicked another 3 goals for the matchrobrulz5 wrote:Wouldn't have any idea about the last clue, I haven't seen the 1990 GF and don't really intend to watch it...
Well, I was there and it was an amazing 'experience'.robrulz5 wrote:Round 10 1996. The lights go out at Waverley and the match against St.Kilda is completed on the Tuesday night. The AFL allowed clubs to make changes to their original sides, who were the inclusions and who was dropped for Essendon?
There were 5 changes.

No players were "dropped", they were either "rested" or injured.
I know James Hird came in along with Justin Blumfield (for his first game). I know I (Ben Doolan) missed Part II along with Bomber Thompson.
I had to look up the rest. Chris Daniher, Scott Cummings and Che Cockatoo-Collins also went out, and Steve Alessio, Danny Morgan (now there's a household name) and David Calthorpe also came in.
I didn't go back for Part II - I chose to listen to the rest of the game on 3AW. I laughed out loud when Rex and the gang gave James Hird a vote even though he only played the remaining 35 minutes of the match! Some bloke went ballistic in the crowd outside their commetary box and banged on their window screaming abuse because Nathan Burke didn't get any. Rex got up, opened the door and yelled abuse back. Funny shit!
I was recruited from Tasmania in the 1970's I was an exceptionally speedy wingman My career was cut down by serious health problems After emergency surgery, I attempted a comeback but was unable to break back into the senior team I am a cousin of a famous former test cricketerThis is just off the top of my head.....GoalSneak wrote:Name the five Essendon stars who went on strike over pay at the beginning of the 1970 season.
I played at 3 different clubs in my 80 game career I debuted in the VFL/AFL at the age of 24 I was a very speedy player who loved to kick a goal I had a chance to draw a game against Essendon at Windy Hill after the siren, but the crowd was allowed to interfere with my attempt I passed away at a very young age - 43Correct - althought it's Clark without the 'e'boncer34 wrote:Steven Clarke in 1991
Bit of a trick question that one I think. It was a pack situation in a marking contest. I believe Andrew McKay actually spoiled Harry Madden's attempt to mark the ball....boncer34 wrote:In the 93 grand final who knocked the ball to denham who in turn gave it to long for 'that' goal.

The commentary doesn't actually describe how the ball gets into Denham's hands. Sandy Roberts just says "Williams waits at the back.....but it's to his opposite number, Denham". Williams didn't touch the ball.
