Who were the two premiership players in the Essendon team in that 1983 Grand Final? And who was the other one that had played in VFL Grand Finals previously?

Rene Kink had played in Grand Finals previously.

Correct. Now the other two premiership players that played that day?

I'll try a long shot, Paul Weston with Woodville and Bryan Wood (I think he came in 83) with Richmond.

Bryan Wood is correct. Paul Weston played in losing Grand Finals in South Australia before winning premierships with Essendon (plus I did mention VFL premierships in a previous post). So one to go....

Bingo!

Bryan Wood & Cameron Clayton were both former Richmond premiership players, and Rene Kink with 5 Grand Final appearances were in our 1983 GF side.

Which club in the history of the game has had the most home grounds? Which grounds were they?

Good question...right off the top of my head I think we've had 5 or 6, Hawthorn have had a few...and then if you include Fitzroy's history with Brisbane, then they've had stacks. I will have to research later however....

They were pretty much permanent home grounds for this club for a period of time.

So not just a ground they would play a home game at like us at the MCG at the moment woúldn't be included.

Back in the late 80s, two players returned to Essendon after stints at other clubs, although neither cracked it for a senior game second time around. Who were they?
Clue: both were well regarded as clubmen.

I think Michael Thomson got re-drafted and didn't play a game. The other one might be Daisy Williams (but I can't think of the other club he went to...I thought he had retired)

Yep, Michael Thomson was one. I heard that they got him back from Richmond so he could go on the end of season trip.
Daisy wasn't the other one though.

Brad Fox was re-drafted (lord knows why) but that was the early 90's....

This fella played a lot more games than Brad Fox in his first stint
