Thought we played there up until 1922 before moving to Windy Hill?

Flemington Hill. But that was until 1881.

Not sure, but I think they're one of the same - McCracken Paddock & Flemington Hill. Flemington Hill is correct though.

Is their any point in asking a question? Should I just hand it over to BD to ask it as he will never miss two questions?

Name the street and suburb that the Essendon Football Club was created and who was the first president?

Thanks for handing it over......

I think it was Kent St. Ascot Vale and the first President was Alex McCracken (brother of Phil?)

Everything correct. However, I thought his first name was different. But you can have it.

Shit, now I'm not sure. It's McCracken though...

The EFC went searching for a new coach when Barry Davis resigned after the 1980 season. They of course appointed an untried Kevin Sheedy, but who were they also seriously considering at the time?

In what year was the McClelland Trophy first awarded?

dom_105 · Post by **dom_105** » Tue Jan 09, 2007 5:55 pm

Inaugurated in 1951, the McClelland Trophy was named in honour of former Melbourne player (75 Games) and administrator William Caldwell McClelland. Initially, the trophy was awarded to the VFL club with the best overall record all three grades according to the following points system: senior win 10 points; reserves win 4 points; thirds/under 19s win 2 points. In 1991, however, the league decreed that the award should go instead to the club which topped the ladder at the end of the home and away rounds.

Too easy.
