I know the answers to 2 of them off the top of my head without looking them up. Essendon moved back to Windy Hill in 1922.

Essendon players were accused of taking bribes in 1924 in a match against Footscray, the VFA premiers. Essendons vice-captain Tom Fitzmaurice left over that scandal and said the match was a put-up. He was allegedly told "why moan, you could have been in the cut-up too".
Footscray began in the VFL in the following year.

I think the pay dispute was 1977. Not sure of this but Im guessing it was after Graham Moss left the club. However I stand to be corrected on this one.

I'm pretty sure the pay dispute was 1970 as I recall Barry Davis was involved in it. 1964 was too early and he was gone by 1976

Just reread that third question.
The players went on strike [b]during[/b] the season.Pulled out.Four can think of Barry Davis,Don McKenzie,Geoff Prior,Daryl Gerlach.Our three best backline players plus our star Ruckmen.They essentially represented the rest.
