The 'Who Am I?' Thread

[bulldogtragic]

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.

(1st) Who Am I?

I was born in the 1970's.
I only ever played for Footscray FC (Not Western Bulldogs).
I was a fan favourite.
I played between 30 and 100 games.
I kicked between 70 & 120 goals at the dogs.
I was awarded a Rising Star nomination at Footscray.
I was not a one club player.

Who Am I?

I was recruited from Mildura Imperials in 1950.
I played in 130 games for Footscray, including the 1954 premiership.
I retired in 1958, having never kicked a goal.
I was named in the Bulldogs team of the century.

It's not Tim Callan.

Sorry for jumping in but is it Cam Wight? His old man played for Richmond I think although did Cam play in a final with us? Cam was also drafted about 12 years ago now but can't think of anyone else. It's a good who am I.

Cam Wight fits the bill except for the "within 10 year draft''.

His dad Terry Wight did play for us with a total of 3 games in 1981. Terry also played 39 games at Collingwood.

#edit# sorry Gary I didn't see your post mate. Do you want to have a go?

If trades are out and we drafted, it goes back to 2004 at most. That's the RG and Tommy Williams draft. The tense 'played' I take it means no longer playing. We have a window of finals of a few years. So draft year 2010 might be the last... Need more time.

[boydogs]

This is tricky. Did the father & son both play exclusively for us? Did they play finals for us and were they drafted by us?

A few guesses:

Andrew McDougall
Barry Hall
Andrejs Everitt

Tim Callan seems a better fit than all of those but he's been ruled out already

[Twodogs]

Sorry guys my bad. I thought I read Cam's draft date as 04 when it was 02. But anyway it ws Cam Wight. So Bulldog Joe it's all yours.

It was actually my get but happy for BJ to take the stage :)

[Bulldog Joe]

I came from Western Victoria on a 6 game permit but only played 4 times in my initial season. Impressed as a young full forward with 6 goals in the last of the 4 games before returning to my country club.

Returned the following year for an additional 12 games but that was the end of my career in the big league at the age of 22.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Shane Loveless?

[bulldogtragic]

Full forward, you would think is a tall. If it was a permit it would be prior to 1990. A country lad. Gone early in his career. Maybe forced out by KT or SB???

I'm on struggle street.

Eastdog you must have (not 'of') been a nightmare for your English teacher, unless you had a young teacher, which would explain your expression, punctuation and grammar, or lack of it.

[Eastdog]

Adam Contessa.

That's correct Twodogs.

[Eastdog]

Eastdog you must have (not 'of') been a nightmare for your English teacher, unless you had a young teacher, which would explain your expression, punctuation and grammar, or lack of it.

English at VCE certainly wasn't a strong subject for me. Some people have got it and some don't with English but I got through it in the end.

[jeemak]

Eastdog you must have (not 'of') been a nightmare for your English teacher, unless you had a young teacher, which would explain your expression, punctuation and grammar, or lack of it.

Well, way to be an ageist and a grammar (insert sympathetic but just as cutting word for Nazi) all at once! :)

[jeemak]

English at VCE certainly wasn't a strong subject for me. Some people have got it and some don't with English but I got through it in the end.

It's something you can always improve upon my man. That's the beautiful thing about language and its use, there's never a point where it's too late to start improving.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

Well, way to be an ageist and a grammar (insert sympathetic but just as cutting word for Nazi) all at once! :)

I'll put my hand up for that. Thanks for supporting Eastie. I've had a private word with him a while ago. However I think his English, especially as a student, is of a level that needs address. Otherwise it will have an effect on his professional life. A tutor would be money well spent. I would be happy to privately edit his posts if Eastie, you are open to it. I am not a grammar Nazi in that no one else on WOOF has suffered my grammar teaching in years on WOOF and I comment on Eastie only because I think he would greatly benefit from improving his grammar, as a student and soon to be professional. Also because of his importance to WOOF.

Make full use of full stops. Use a lot of short sentences rather than a long one.

Ding ding.

Actually Gary got Robert Rose earlier. I went back and checked and Rose played with us last in round 10 1973 and Harry Frei last played with us in round 6 1973 so it was pretty close. I thought Frei had played with us in 1974 because I thought hed played with a guy I knew.

[Greystache]

I was drafted from the country, I made a big impact very early in my career, but despite several impressive performances, my career was a short one.

Interesting conundrum. Rose was more recent as a Footscray player, but Frei has the more recent cricket career.

I was undersized for the position I played. I had a brother with more talent however I eked out a better career than him. Who am I?
Ben Sexton?

[azabob]

Ben Sexton?

Surely not

[Bulldog Joe]

I was undersized for the position I played. I had a brother with more talent however I eked out a better career than him. Who am I?

Struggling with this.

I can come up with Neil Cordy but didn't see him as undersized. Would be subjective to consider him less talented than Brian.

Super MacPherson, but don't see him as undersized or his brother as more talented.

We have had quite a few of the less talented brothers but can't think of any who eked out successful careers.

I think the answer may be Michael Ford.

[1eyedog]

Apologies, my Cousin had more talent than I did but I ecked out a more successful career. I always thought they were brothers but they weren't they were cousins. Both payed for the Bulldogs. Many apologies all that should make it a bit easier :o

That's who I was thinking of BJ. Alistair was his cousin not his brother. My bad.

[LostDoggy]

Sorry to jump in Bulldog Joe, but here goes:

During my career I was at numerous clubs, however I only played senior football for two of them. I would not be considered a legend/star at any of the clubs.

I did not come to the Bulldogs via the national draft.

As an indigenous player, I possessed a reasonable goal-sense and my healthy average return of goals/games played reflected this.

I am...

Alan Thorpe?

Alan Thorpe?

Jesus christ, thought it'd last a bit longer.

[Greystache]

Jesus christ, thought it'd last a bit longer.

I was always a bit of a fan. I thought if he was given an extended run he could've been something.

[Greystache]

Who am I?

A key position player, I was very much a journey man, and despite a very impressive goal kicking record, I regularly found myself playing reserves over my career.

Ding ding ding... It was The Loaf!

305 goals from only 112 games, but it took him 12 years to play 112 games across 4 clubs!

[1eyedog]

Minton-Connell?

Bugger.

[azabob]

Someone feel free to jump in. I'm at work and can't think of one at the moment.

No worries. I would have needed to ask someone to follow through for me.

[bornadog]

I will jump in Aza, but will be offline for a couple of hours but will try check in along the way.

I am another mediocre performer having only played a few games at two clubs. Originally drafted by West Coast I ended up at Footscray. I was very good at the State comps and in fact after leaving Footscray I played in a premiership.

[1eyedog]

Robbie West?

[bornadog]

I debuted in the WAFL at the age of 16 and was a Premiership player, represented W.A in State of Origin and won All Australian selection at the age of 23. I move to Victoria and player four seasons with another club and became a cult figure there. I joined the Bulldogs for one season and played in three finals. After leaving the Bulldogs I returned to W.A and became a long-standing board member with an AFL club.

Take yours, mine can be used later.

[1eyedog]

I think I got yours. I remember hearing about West after his assault and found out he came from WCE. Is my answer right?

yes it's Budgie.

[Twodogs]

Which AFL club is/was Budgie a board member at?

Take it away Azabob.

Fremantle.

Can you or Eastie step in? About to jump into another meeting

[1eyedog]

He was at Freo for many years. When asked what his greatest regret in football was he replied that he retired prior to the inception of the Eagles in 1987. Bad timing for him. It's hard to believe that the Eagles have been in the competition that long.

[Eastdog]

Can you or Eastie step in? About to jump into another meeting

Sure thing azabob.

[Eastdog]

On behalf of azabob.

Who am I?

I played in the early 80s.
I only played a single digit number of games with the Dogs.
I finished up with the Dogs in the same year.

[1eyedog]

Good question there would have been a few. I'm no chance without Google so I'm out.

[bornadog]

Yes that could be 20 to 50 players. 10 years is a long time (80's)

[Twodogs]

So he played a handful of games in the early '80s? But all in one year?

Terry Love.

[Eastdog]

I give a clue between 1980-1985.

Terry Love.

Incorrect.

Early '80s. I'm assuming 80-83.

[Twodogs]

Glenn Sampson.

[Twodogs]

Brian Wilson.

[Eastdog]

Nope.

[1eyedog]

H played just one game?

[Eastdog]

H played just one game?

Only ever played a single digit number of games and finished in the same year - between 1980-1985 early 80s.

[1eyedog]

Is it Alan Jennings?

[Twodogs]

Con Gorozides

[Twodogs]

John Bennett.

[Eastdog]

Not correct guys.

[bornadog]

Not correct guys.

More clues please could be lots of players

[LostDoggy]

Allan Edwards,

edit, actually he played too many

John Riley

[Eastdog]

More clues please could be lots of players

He kicked only 2 goals and played only ever in the 1980 season.

[1eyedog]

Emmett Dunne?

Which woofer will get it.

[Twodogs]

Matt Byrecheski

[Eastdog]

Matt Byrecheski

You got it TD. Well done.

[Twodogs]

Interesting player was Matt. He went from playing for his local club, West Footscray or Maidstone I think, to playing VFL reserves, to playing senior VFL games, back to the reserves and finished the year playing back at his local club.

Anyway

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.

Kevin Sait.

[Twodogs]

Correct. He was far too good a player to have not played more VFL footy.

[Eastdog]

Correct. He was far too good a player to have not played more VFL footy.

Why did they drop him?

[Eastdog]

I kicked no goals in my Bulldog career
I was a member of the 1990 Swan Districts WAFL premiership team
My father played footy but not at AFL level.

[Twodogs]

Why did they drop him?

No idea Easty. He didnt exactly look like a footballer. He was very skinny, balding and pale but he could really play.

Maybe it was his decision? Willy probably offered him more cash than he was getting with us. And we were a pretty tragic club in 1980, IIRC we lost our first eleven games.

I was born deep late 80s and reading our history we were really struggling at that time. 85 was a very good year for us.

Salty looked like KB actually. Even down to the playing style. Even had the combover.

[Twodogs]

Has anyone solved Easty's question?

The only person I can really think of is Brad Wira

Robbie West? Can't have kicked many and was from W.A

You are correct azabob.
