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?

Sounds like something our beloved "rotten" Ronnie Andrews would do

Filthy had a sewn-on badge on his reconditioned Bluey that his estranged father gave him - which player was on that badge?

Surely the irony of constantly harping on about someone else constantly harping on isn't lost on you?!?!?!?

Any danger of changing the record?!?!?!?

Not sure what's happened on this blog since I've been in absentia, but the last month or so worth of posts makes for depressing reading indeed.
Like sand through the hour glass, so are the days at the Essendon Football Club.

Who am I? I joined Essendon in 1988 and remained on the list until 1993 when I then joined an arch rival the following year. That didn't work out so I left the AFL scene only to be then picked up by the team of the 90's in 1996 where I played just one solitary game.

No.

My career can at best be described as a battlers career but I did have some cracking games. I recieved 3 brownlow votes twice. Once when I kicked 8 and another when I had 34 touches.

I also kicked 5 in a game when a golden boy announced his arrival by kicking 6.

Since these stats were first recorded one Essendon player holds the records for the most clangers in a game. Who is it and bonus points for the tema against, year and the round.
