[Rossoneri]

In 2001, we had the greatest comeback of all. Whose record did we beat and what did the losing teams coach liken his players heads to?

[robrulz5]

I know we beat Hawthorn's record of coming back from 63 points down in 1999 against St.Kilda, no idea about the rest!

well that is correct. Maybe we'll wait til about 9pm tonight to see if anyone gets it. If not, you go.

[Rossoneri]

Stuff it rob, you got the main part right. Your turn!

[ealesy]

Timmy Watson was the coach of St Kilda in 1999 (and I believe Ken Judge was the Hawks coach), not sure how he described the players though.

[Rossoneri]

Yep, you are both right. Robs turn to ask a question. If someone does get the second part right they can have my next turn.

Shouldn't google. Only when a question hasn't been answered for a couple of days can we google (in essence give up) Having said that, I doubt you are the only one who has googled an answer before, but you are the only one who has owned up to it

Ok, ill ask another (no google this time).

Name the 3 players Essendon has taken in the top 3 of the National Draft.

[ealesy]

Trick question as far as I can tell.

We've only ever had two selections in the top 3 of the National Draft.

Being Chris Heffernan, the number 2 selection in 1996 National Draft and Scott Gumbleton, being the number 2 selection in the 2006 National Draft.

We've had Scott Lucas (4th pick), Mark Bolton (4th pick), Daniel McAllister (shudder 5th pick), Michael Hurley (5th pick), David Myers (6th pick) Kepler Bradley (6th pick), Mark McVeigh (8th pick) but cannot for the life of me think of anyone else we've taken in the top 3.

Unless it was way back when the draft first started in the late 80s, but I still don't think we had any top 3 picks back then either.

Correct with Heff and Gumby.

And no, it is not a trick question.

Michael Prior was a number three pick in the early nineties.
