I was a small, speedy rover recruited from SA in the mid-1990s. I failed to fire and my major achievement in my two senior games was to be caught on camera mocking Brett Heady over his protruding ears during a half time push and shove in Perth.

Shawn Lewfatt

It's either his or Lachlan Ross, but ill go with Shawn Lewfatt.

Not Shawn Lewfatt.

Lachlan Ross?

You've got it. Your turn.

Who kicked 6 goals in just his 4th game of senior football against us in the early 90's?

Allan Jackovic?

Scotty West for sure I reckon.

Doolan is correct!

It was the day we got clobbered at the Western Oval (our glorious 1993 year). Danny Del-Re also kicked half a dozen or so...

This might be a difficult one...(but easy if you google )

Who am I?

I was originally from Hopetoun - Essendon's recruiting zone

I played in Essendon's U19's and Reserves

I once kicked 25 goals in a match v Swans in the U19's

I never played a senior game at Essendon

I was recruited by a new club in teh AFL and heading their goal kicking on one occasion with 47 goals

I only played a total of 29 AFL games

In my 2 appearances against the Bombers I kicked 5 goals on each occasion

I tragically died at the age of 34 from a disease called Amyloidosis

Lawrence Shache?

Pardon my spelling...

Correct - although it's Laurence Schache. What clue gave it to you?

OK, well I'll ask another question then;

Who is always directly behind Jobe Watson when Essendon run out on the field?

His shadow

His shadow

Depends where the sun is.

Only to a point as they are coming out of the dark into a ligter environment so there will generally always be some sort of shadow (however faint) behind him.

And there is no sun at night or when the roof is closed at Etihad.

The sun sets in the west. If he has his back to the west (facing east) then the shadow will be in front of him.

And with the many light towers at the games, he will have multiple shadows, not just behind him.

But the question was who comes behind Jobe...as long as there is some light in front of him there will be a shadow behind him.

(I wish BD would respond to see if I'm right )

LOL Woody! Great answer, but not the one I'm looking for.

Rossi, you are incorrect.

The answer lies in the latest Bomber magazine publication...
