I played one year after some good years playing in the VFA. My season yielded 13 games and 18 goals but despite a pretty good first season I was dropped from the list prior to the next season. I went back to the VFA and became a star, finishing my career premiership player and a VFA competition B&F winner.

Surely you had time for a quick photoshop job.

[bornadog]

I was born in the 60's and made my debut with another club at age 18. After 50 plus games I crossed to Footscary and played as a backman. I finished my career with an interstate club playing another 37 games and finishing on a total of 150 plus games with the three clubs.

Name the player and the three clubs. (well two others anyway)

[Axe Man]

Yep Wiki was my friend :)

Did you read the OP?


Thought I'd start a similar thread to the old 'internet scavenger hunt' thread whereby the winner gets to pose the next question. Like that thread, it's pure fun so please go off memory as google is far too easy to crack the case.

It defeats the purpose of the thread if you jump straight on the web to answer, anyone can do that. At least allow others to take a guess first.

Another clue:

After leaving Footscray, he moved to Sydney for work purposes but in 1988 was convinced by the Swans to resume his career.

He spent three seasons with Sydney before retiring for good.

It's your question AM.

[LostDoggy]

I'll jump in for Axe Man, hope you don't mind.

I played for 3 AFL clubs, one of these being Carlton

I could be classed as a 'vanilla' player, or perhaps even knocking on the door of 'Ekerism' (personal opinion).

I was situated mainly in the back half of the ground but could also be switched forward.

I finished my career with the Bulldogs, but it's debatable whether my career with the Bulldogs or my former club was more successful.

I do not qualify as a father/son breeder for any of the clubs i played for.

I'm was drafted to the AFL from a southern state (not Victoria).

Who in the name of JHC am i?

Correct - Shannon Corcoran. Should be an eker hall of fame member if he's not already. Averaging 3.3 games a year over a 9 year career as a medium/small player is a mighty achievement.

Played 5 games for Brisbane after leaving the dogs in 95 & 96, then 2 games for Sydney in 97. I didn't remember him playing elsewhere either, I'm not sure anybody does!

I played with the Dogs during the 90s. I played at reserves level for another AFL club before being picked up by the Dogs where I played a handful of games before being delisted. I was subsequently re-drafted by the Bulldogs and played for a further 3 seasons before I was delisted again. I was also a more than handy cricketer.

My guess is bad attitude. Our history says we'd take a punt on a tall with a bad attitude. Bruton, Saunders, Bassett are talls I can think of in the 1990's onwards who didn't last. But the drafting a year previous...

[GVGjr]

I can also recall him at a family day type training session at the then Western Oval. Hillier was probably interviewing him and he was a natural in front of the mic even saying he barracked for the Dogs as a kid knowing it would get a good reaction.
He looked impressive during the training drills as did another youngster.

Yes please. I'm trying to think of nil trades. Lachie Veale?

It had to be many years ago. Before Veale I would think.

[GVGjr]

It had to be many years ago. Before Veale I would think.

Yes it was a while back and certainly before the Veale deal.

[GVGjr]

A few more thought starters:

I was originally from country Victoria and was drafted by an interstate team
12 months later I was traded back to the Dogs as part of a deal (that might be an area to focus on)
The Dogs had some mild interest in me 12 months earlier but I was gone early in the draft

[azabob]

I want to say Luke Trew?

[GVGjr]

I want to say Luke Trew?

Good call and spot on. What gave it away?

[azabob]

The comment around mild interest 12 months earlier. I vaguely remember a newspaper article with a picture of a whiteboard and a heap of names on there, and his name was one of them.

[Eastdog]

You're up azabob.

[westdog54]

I want to say Luke Trew?

Nicely done. Would never have guessed that.

[GVGjr]

The comment around mild interest 12 months earlier. I vaguely remember a newspaper article with a picture of a whiteboard and a heap of names on there, and his name was one of them.

Great memory. In 95 we had the Age go through all our draft preparation with the recruiting team and Trew was a possibility at pick 29 albeit the last of the guys we had on the whiteboard.

I think Trew was a bit overwhelmed by being moved interstate from Country Victoria and struggled with the transition. By the time he got to us he just wasn't ready. The Bombers listed him as a supplementary type player but he never took his chances.

I always thought it was strange to see us get a player and basically give up on him within a few months.

[azabob]

My first and last name start with the same letter.
Within four years I was out of the system.

He went to St Kilda for a year or two and then went back to Tassie I think. He kicked 5 goals in his first game from memory.

Anyway

I played one game in the opening round the season after a protracted battle to gain my services which involved threats of court challenges and the in volvment of each clubs league. From memory a court granted me dispensation to play for us. Despite being billed as one of the best players I outside the VFL my only game didnt really show what all the fuss was about i was back in my home state playing with my old team by the time round 2 came along.

It's not big Al.


This game was a huge upset win for us. Possibly one the biggest ever. Going into the match we were on the bottom and the team we beat were on top and the reigning premiers and it was at there ground.

I do, I was listening to it on the transistor while on holidays in Warnambool with my family

[Doggy]

I know it was Hawthorn, that's all I can remember

[Twodogs]

1979 rd 11 v Hawthorn.

http://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1979/071019790616.html

Talk about you're grandstand finishes. Most tipsters were tipping us to lose by 100 points.

[Doggy]

Ok, I played 20 odd games for the doggies in the early 80's after playing at a rival club. I then went on to play at a third club. There was a photo published in the Sun or Herald Paper of me being piggy backed by Graham Teasdale while we were playing the swans or maybe it was Collingwood, I can't remember.

[Twodogs]

Matthew Hogg?

I've think I've got it but someone else have some goes.

I'll do one but put it on ice if it's not Hogg.

Who am I?
I was a top 10 draft pick who played for 2 clubs but the majority were for the Bulldogs
I played over 16 games per year in my first 9 seasons but was delisted at age 27
One of my most famous moments is kicking the winning goal in a cellar dwellar match

[jeemak]

Jordan McMahon.

I'm off to bed, someone jump in if they feel like it.

So who goes next?

[Twodogs]

I meant my first answer to Doggy's question was wrong. It wasn't Matthew Hogg. I think it may have been Jim Mcallister.

Jeemak if he has Jordy MacMahon right.


Assuming I got Doggy's question right.

[boydogs]

Jordan McMahon.

Gees, got it in 5 minutes. Well done

[Doggy]

I meant my first answer to Doggy's question was wrong. It wasn't Matthew Hogg. I think it may have been Jim Mcallister.

Yep Jim McAllester

[Twodogs]

Jeemak's turn for a question.

[Bulldog Revolution]

Sorry Im in different timezones at the moment and I realise Im jumping in - Jeemak please forgive me

A career that spanned three clubs, I began for an interstate team before joining the bulldogs and switching to the back line - who am I?

Did he run into an umpire and ruin his career

You mean Todd Curley?

I thought it may be but I think he only played for two clubs?

Kingsley Hunter? Played with Freo, us and Hawthorn IIRC?

[soupman]

Kingsley Hunter

[westdog54]

If we're right you can have it Soupa.

[Twodogs]

Actually Todd's career was ruined by the idiot umpire backing into him.

[Doggy]

That idiot umpire is my brother in law ��

Afl also didn't help by over-reacting.

[Doggy]

It was Geishen who wanted it taken further, The ump had no say basically, anyway our family got stuck into him for months and as punishment I converted his two daughters into Bulldog supporters.

Just clicking like doesn't truly do justice to this post!!

[Bulldog Revolution]

Yup Kingsley Hunter - tried to provide as little detail as possible

Impressed soupaman and westdog - id forgotten myself about this third club and thought it might throw a few off

[soupman]

Who am I?

The Bulldogs were my second, and final AFL club.
I did manage to play against the Bulldogs at AFL level, but never for them.
Unfortunately my body never really gave me an opportunity to have a career as an AFL level footballer.

Nothing was gonna throw me off getting one of the footballers mentioned in this thread that I have actually seen play:)

Tom Davidson, come on down ...

[Rocket Science]

okay...

I fared well enough in my first stint with the club that I was invited back for an encore later down the track.

I laced them up against the club too.

I share an interesting direct link to our current senior coach.

Reckon that narrows it down a bit.

Brett Montgomery? I know that isn't right but...

I knew you'd come up with a cracking question Rocket Science.

Would that be the gloved one Tony Campbell?

From memory the pick we traded to St Kilda for Beveridge is the draft pick we used to pick up Campbell

Jeez, you lot are too good. Bingo.

Indeed, we grabbed TC second time around with the pick we acquired from the Aints for one Luke Beveridge.

NEXT!

In fairness it was mentioned in the one of the recent articles after he was named coach.

[Greystache]

Drafted from SA I was at the club for a number of years without ever really cementing a place in the team. After I was delisted I was thrown a lifeline by another club and had a brilliant first season for them. After struggling to recapture that form in my second season I was surprisingly delisted and my AFL career was over.

[soupman]

Despite him being mentioned throughout this thread I still don't know who that is, way before my time:)

Nailed it.

Peter Morrison ??

[Greystache]

Simon Cox?

Great get!

[LostDoggy]

I came to the AFL from a state outside Victoria.

Despite showing promise as a tall forward i never really came on at the Bulldogs. I was subsequently traded to another club.

Liam Jones!?

[LostDoggy]

Liam Jones!?

WHO?



Correct

[1eyedog]

Hope you don't mind if I jump in MRM I've got a quick one.

I played predominately as a small forward as a junior in Tasmania and was selected by another club as a rookie. I was delisted the following year and rookie listed by the Bulldogs and played approximately 20 games as a midfielder before being delisted again. I am?

Brodie Moles?

[1eyedog]

Yep Brodie Moles

[LostDoggy]

I think Brodie Moles is correct so I'll go!


At my previous Victorian club I was a two time All Australian, two time Best and Fairest winner and one time leading goalkicker.
I then made my way to the Western Bulldogs. I only managed one year at the club, I booted 34 goals in what was my final season.
Who is me?

[Greystache]

Nicky Winmar?

[LostDoggy]

Nicky Winmar?

I played over 300 games, won 3 premierships, and a Brownlow, yet I was forgotten the moment I retired.

I was sacked by every club I played for

Easy. JA.

I had three stints playing AFL, through the 90's onwards. I was sought after and traded to the dogs. I played over 50 games. I was a solid player without being elite, mainly playing in defence. Despite being a solid contributor I was traded out and continued to play for a few more years.

[azabob]

Brad Wira.

[bulldogtragic]

Brad Wira.

Man, i thought that was a little cryptic. Obviously not my friend. Fire away.

[jeemak]

Akermanis Eastie!

I love how he's still relevant and up to date with the doings and transpiring's of today.

All those years of listening to nothing other than the narcissism of his small mind and not changing his behaviour after multiple *!*!*!*!-ups really paid off for him.*


*In the above I'm referring to Akermanis, not Eastie.

[1eyedog]

Brad Wira.

Crikey how did you get that?

[azabob]

I was a key position player from the 90's who was not the most talented but always gave 100%.

I actually would be suited as a 2nd ruckman in today's game.

woof poster azabob couldnt understand why I was traded to an interstate club in the mid 90's. As it turned out I was only apart of the interstate club for one year - which was my final year in the afl.

I am?

[azabob]

Crikey how did you get that?

Brad Wira was a Favourite of mine. I couldn't underdstand why Freo let him go, then I certainly couldn't I understand why we then traded him back!

[azabob]

By the way BT, GREAT THREAD. Very enjoyable.

[jeemak]

Barry Stanfield?

[azabob]

Barry Stanfield?

Question or statement? ;)

But yes.

You are correct!

[jeemak]

Get in there Eastie, I have just fired up the work lappy and can't get across a question right now.

[bulldogtragic]

Barry Stanfield?

Beat me by that much... I knew i shouldn't have put icehouse on and got lost in the music. The Fish!!!

[bulldogtragic]

You are most welcome! I think we are from a similar era and much liked the same players i sense.

The same question. Exactly same clues. But... A Different player. Fun!!

Edit: We can come back to this one.

[jeemak]

Right - here we go.

A promising player in the mid to late nineties I played with the Bulldogs and one other club.

I was known for my running ability, and a rumoured case of mistaken identity once I left the Bulldogs.

No.

Can we just do my question for now?

Jordy McMahon?

No, he's been done. Plus, read the first clue.

And the second one. Think something the Couldabeens would laugh about.

[bulldogtragic]

No.

Yep, we can. Apologies.
