I didn't know Brad Fox was re-drafted!

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

Hmmm, I'm stumped now. The only name that sticks out (but I don't think it's him) is Peter Bennett. It couldn't be the former No.38 could it?

There's a blast from the past! My Dad knew Peter Bennett and he took my autograph book into Windy Hill for the players to sign. So I honoured him by putting No.38 on my jumper.

Anyway it's not Peter Bennett. This player wore No.34 in his second stint. Bit of a giveaway here: he's a premiership player.

Was it Glen Hawker?

You've thrown me with the time frame..........Well I know Shane Heard returned in early 90's wearing No.45 and played some games in 1991. Paul Hills also returned in th emid 90's, can't remember him playing any games but I think he wore No's 49, 38, 33, 11. I'm totally lost!!

Shane heard played in 91.

Daisy williams came back, but broke his leg again.


Im stumped as well.

This player wore No.25 at his club in between stints at Essendon. It was fairly low key when he came back but I remember seeing him play in the magoos in about 1987 or 88.

OK, he's a premiership player from either the 1984 or 85 side I assume. It's either Peter Bradbury or Steve Carey I reckon as both were traded in 1986. I'll go with Steve Carey for now.....

Correct

Your turn BD, seeing you got them both

In that amazing game where Gary Ablett kicked 14 goals and Salmon kicked 10 at the other end in 1993, who came off the interchange bench in the last quarter to replace Salmon and kicked 3 goals to clinch the game for Essendon?

Alessio!

Oh shit, totally forgot.

Name two of the three players who have won back to back premierships in their first two years of football.

(I think I have already asked this question)

Jonathan Brown is one.

Would Leon Baker be another?

Hmmmmmm........wasnt sure about Johnathan Brown but ill pay that.

The others were Kane Johnson and Mark Harvey.

After doing a search Brown made his debut in 2000 not in 2001 like I thought.

In both 2005 and 2006 West Coast and Sydney played in the Qualifiying final and the Grand final.

In both years the same weird thing happened twice with the results. What was this?

both finals both years was decided by 4 points.

2005
West Coast won the qualifying final by 4 points
Sydney won the Grand Final by 4 points

2006
Syndey won the qualifying final by 4 points
West Coast won the Grand Final by 4 points

did they...show how much interest I had in the game. The answer is something along the lines of what I came up with though...I think?
