Anyone for a quiz?
OK kiddies, who am I?
I am the older brother of an AFL champion. I only played 35 VFL/AFL games (from 1975-79) and was regarded as a strongly built utility player. I mainly played at the same club as my brother but later played 4 games at Fitzroy. I then gave up VFL/AFL football and went to play for West Adelaide where I played in a premiership in 1983. My brother played over 300 VFL/AFL games, was a multiple best and fairest winner and a three times premiership player for his club. My brother also went on to coach at AFL level.

Who am I
I played as a ruckman although even by the standard of the day I was considered short for the position.
I am a two time premiership player, won a Crichton medal and captained the team.
I once had my own bus line.

Chris Daniher, Mark Thompson, Scott Cummings, Che Cockatoo-Collins and Ben Doolan went out, replaced by James Hird, Stephen Alessio, Danny Morgan, David Calthorpe & Justin Blumfield.
Interesting fact is that Justin Blumfield became the 1000th player to play for Essendon on that tuesday night.
Where did i find this information... Brad's old Essendon site. Its still floating around out there lol.

Glad I was part of history! I know St.Kilda were livid that we were able to bring James Hird into the team, and a St.Kilda supporter nearlty smashed the 3AW window when they gave James Hird a vote at the end of the game!
That certainly was a game like no other. Fair effort that 14,000 got out to the ground on a Tuesday night for what was essentially 35 minutes of football.
Ok, here's my one, and it's an easy one.
Back in 1988, when the country was gripped in bicentenial fever, a "NFL" sanctioned state of origin carnival took place in Adelaide (Dubbed Football 200, how original lol).
Less than 20,000 turned up to Football Park to watch South Australia defeat Victoria 102-42 in the Section One Final. Which player, who took part in that final, went on to win the Tassie Medal, for the the best player in the championship series.

By the way, any particular reason why you were dropped?BenDoolan wrote:Spot bloody on!dom_105 wrote:Chris Daniher, Mark Thompson, Scott Cummings, Che Cockatoo-Collins and Ben Doolan went out, replaced by James Hird, Stephen Alessio, Danny Morgan, David Calthorpe & Justin Blumfield.
