Numbers were added for the 1911 Finals series.

Essendon's were red, but they changed to white for the following season.

Ok,

How many goals did the Daniher brothers collectively kick in the 1990 season, the last season where all four brothers were on the Essendon list?

Which former Essendon player is/was (not sure if he still is) married to radio personality Bridgette Duclos? He is a former wingman who stuggled to gain a regular spot and played a total of 46 games for 31 goals. He was cleared to Richmond in 1987.

Michael Thomson. Best game I saw him play was the elimination final in '86. He slaughtered Conlan for all except about 5 seconds of the game. Conlan kicked the winning goal in that five seconds

Who am I?

A former Bomber great, I played mainly on the wing and in the centre.

I am one of the lucky ones to have won two Crichton Medals and was once voted All Australian.

One of my daughters married Roger Merrett.

Incorrect.

The player is a former captain, best & fairest winner and a Grand Final player.

Nah, Nathan Burke wore one before Hirdy, well before Hirdy.

Im thinking of that bloke from Fitzroy, cant think of his name.

Garry Wilson?

BenDoolan · Post by **BenDoolan** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 4:34 pm

Not Chris Daniher (don't think he actually wore one). This player has a son who is currently playing.
