Nope. This one is a hard one so I'll say higher or lower whenever anyway says a number. It's a higher number and a diferent club.

I think it may be St. Kilda during the 80's (or even Melbourne). But I say the Saints, and 18 wins on the trot.

Higher

So it's the Saints then.........I'll go up by increments of 9........so 27?

[robrulz5]

Lower.

OK, I reckon I know the year - 1994. I was there at one game where the Saints kicked something ridiculous like 20 goals 2 behinds to beat us by a kick (Sean Denham was sensational). Not sure if that was the game that broke the sequence, but I'll give it a go. I reckon the streak started with Sheedy's reign in 1981, and playing them twice, would mean 13 years worth of wins (26).

St kilda. 23 wins

[robrulz5]

St kilda. 23 wins

Correct. 23 wins in a row against St.Kilda between round 17, 1944 & round 9 1957. They finally beat us for the first time in 26 matches in round 2 1958. Before the first win in the sequence there was a draw and a win before that.

The streak you are thinking of BD was 20 between round 7 1981 and round 10 1991.

[azza78]

Woohoo. Finally got to answer one before somebody else did. Hooray for me lol.

Prolly an easy one for all u smarty pants bomber fans (I'm looking at u BD and robrulz haha) but here goes:

Who was the 1000th player to make his senior debut for the Essendon Football Club?

[robrulz5]

I think it was Paul Barnard.

[azza78]

Sure was Rob. Way back in '97.

Knew it would be an easy one for someone with ur knowledge...

[robrulz5]

Up to the end of 2009 which current Essendon player has played the most consecutive games? How many games?

[azza78]

Brent Stanton I think. Dunno how many games but I reckon close to 50...

[robrulz5]

It is Brent Stanton with 53 games.
