Name A Game (Off Season Trivia Game)

[bulldogtragic]

Last year we racked up months of fun and some learning with the 'who am I' thread on Bulddogs players. But we did every player in the history of the club. So I propose we tweak it, essentially the 'who am I' but onto individual BULLDOGS games where we as winners have to 'name a game'. Ideally, you will have picked a game that anyone of us can remember!

This is a general knowledge game, so hitting Google defeats the purpose. Any era. Any game. The winner has to give the year, round, opposition and ground if they were not given in the question. The winner gets to ask the next NAG question and the question remains until correctly answered or 5 hours.

So for example, who am I?

NAG: I was an away game, but in Victoria. I was in the 2000's. I should have been a record making game. I was a very close game in which Paul Hudson missed many shots. Chris Grant kicked the winner?

Answer: Dogs v Essendon, Round 21, 2000 at Etihad.


So I will kick it off with another easy one:


NAG: I was a home game. I was at full capacity. I was in the 1990's. I am remembered for Danny Southern 'welcoming' an opposition player?

[bornadog]

Last game at WO?

[bulldogtragic]

... Maybe :) ... We have to set the tone BAD. Teams, venue, round and year if you want to a chance to NAG us back?

I reckon its Garlick and Crofty. I think it was round 22. I'm going to guess 2002. I remember Crofty getting a few, but can't remember the opposition. Was it North?

Yes to Croft and Garlick, and North, wrong year and round

Brian Royal's goal on the stroke of 1/2 time was a pearler!

[bulldogtragic]

Twodogs?

[LostDoggy]

Sounds right to me. Definitely v Essendon early 85. Also remember it as one of the first games where Lally really turned it on.

[Twodogs]

Sorry guys. Mantis is right, we went to 4-1 and top of the ladder.

I was a game in the 2000's. I was a game that led fans to believe the club had landed a key forward. I am remembered for a loss where Koops was held and no free kick was paid in the dying seconds.

Great question... I need some time for this one.

Well....am guessing it was our club's money. Hint, the coach at the time used to break phones a lot.

If it's Eade but before Smith started coaching, so maybe 2011. I think it was about mid year, maybe round 12. I think it's an Etihad game. Can't remember the opponent.

Round 12, 2011, Etihad, St Kilda?

[Ghost Dog]

Very close! Round 13 2011 V Crows. Rohan Smith spent too much time on the field. Pretty stiff fine if you ask me.
Tragic I would not want to go head to head with you at a Bulldogs trivia night.

Why, I wasn't right :D . But thanks for the compliment.

I might jump in again.

NAG: Brad Johnson kicked a goal from point blank range and fell backwards straight down in the goal square celebrating. A close win to the dogs in the 2000's.

I'm not going to Google it. I seem to recall we were wearing one of our ugly Robodog jumpers in the diamond shape. Maybe it was a centenary jumper. Is that right?

Round 1, 2002, Etihad, Richmond. Matty Boyd kicks my equal favourite goal of all time. I always get the year mixed up though.

I don't know why I keep thinking that opening round was before the Rawlings debut first game... But I do!

Pretty sure I mentioned this game recently. v Essendon late in 1984 WO. We were 3 goals to 0 down at 3/4 time, Johnny Bennett kicked 2 of our 3 goals in 5 minutes to get us in front only to see Phil Bradbury snare a late one for Essendon to win. 31 years ago, seems like yesterday - how frickin depressing....

Howssabout a game where we beat a reigning grand finalist at their home ground by less than a kick in a big boilover.

Winning goal was kicked by a fresh faced debutante who looked like a 12 year old but was destined for greatness.

[1eyedog]

Johnno in 1994. Not sure of opposition, Carlton?

Correct!! It was v Carlton at Princes Park late in 2000, with Bob wearing the #29 and weighing about 60kg wringing wet. He ducked and weaved around 2 and wobbled a mongrel kick through from 30 metres out to give us the lead late in Q4. Priceless moment.

The following week was the famous win against the undefeated Essendon.

Your go Boydogs.

I have to remind myself of Bob's slight state back then, when I watch Bailey Dale ( Who I fear will be snapped in two ).

[Twodogs]

Bobs kick got us within a goal. It was the Ugg Boot who kicked the winner from a dodgy free for in the back at the 30 minute mark of the last quarter that day. The Carlton supporters were feral.

Yeah, you're kinda right TD (nothing gets by you), I took a little liberty given it was Bob's debut and he was named AA captain today. He did actually put us in front late that day, but Carlton scored again then Bartlett scored the utimate winner. Bob has written about the match, apparently Matthew Lappin punched him at every stoppage.

[Twodogs]

It was a pretty memorable day. I can remember that day parking the car at the Sarah Sands and walking up to OO. I can remember burning a joint at halftime. I can remember Kouta starting to get a few touches just after halftime and my mate saying "here we go" I can remember Trent Barlett falling over and the umpires whistle and thinking "he's not going to pay the push, surely?", the umpire running in holding his arm out in our direction, the Carlton supporter next to me screams-just screams, no swearing, no audible words,-one long scream and the stand around me erupts in abuse. I can remeber us standing on our seats after the game taunting Carlton supporters, leading at them and generally being pretty gracious winners in general.

The thing I vividly remember most is the little girl holding her dads hand and saying "but the Bulldogs aren't meant to beat us".

[Twodogs]

Early '80's yeah? i was listening to that game on the radio in the little nsw country town i grew up in, didn't get too many Footscray games back then, most of the time had to listen to other games and wait for the around the grounds score updates, the old man had given us away and found something else to do, i even remember him telling me to turn it off the games over but being a kid and believing anything could happen i stuck fat, shit we could've been 150 down and i would've stuck it out, who knew how long it would be before got to hear a Dogs game live again. Tried to find dad to tell him we were coming back at some point but couldn't, to be fair i didn't stray further than listening distance in the hunt for him though, i remember it as being deep in the last quarter but may be wrong, losing my mind when they crossed to a race somewhere as was wont to happen at the most inopportune times, god that used to kill me.
The old man couldn't believe it when i told him we won, think i told half the town we won actually was running around screaming we won we won.
It was the greatest come back of all time in my mind, i may have built it up a touch more in my mind over the years lol but i remember that north essendon huge comeback happening and i was like ppft that's got nothing on this doggies comeback against the aints back in the day :)

Been pondering this one. Quite cryptic clues.

Without a heap of confidence, I'm going to guess the 1998 West Coast game in Perth where we kicked 8 goals to 0 in Q1, then WCE responded 8-0 in Q2 before eventually winning.

Pretty sure Alvey debuted. From memory we traded him to Essendon one year, but the paperwork was completed a couple of minutes late, so we waited another year before again trading him to Essendon.

Well done, I just couldn't think of that one. Brownless kicked 9, thanks to a broken leg Foster received early in the year from Paul Dear trying to trip him up (bit like Fyfe on Koby but not as severe)

[LostDoggy]

Spot on INB. Crazy game.

Well done we won by a point after Johnno kicked a goal off the ground. Our new Coach was Peter Rhode. Highlight for me was David Smorgan hugging a guy with a vb in hand

[LostDoggy]

Sheesh BAD 2004 counts as mid 2000s don't it?

Okay let's keep this trainarollin':

This game was also an interstate victory and included 4 players in their first or 2nd game, including 2 17 year olds who would go on to play over 500 Dogs games between them (and a Fish Creek recruit).

I know we beat the Bombers by 100 points around 1980 so I'll have a crack and say;

Windy Hill, 100 point margin, 1980, 168 to 68.

I have a feeling I'm late on this as our results took a turn for the worse after the departure of Dempsey and Quinlan.

One for fellow oldtimers. It was a hot, windy day at the Western oval when a half forward flanker and future coach kicked 8 goals in an upset win (any win was an upset at the time, from memory). Also memorable as I made my W.O. debut with local underage FDL team playing on the ground as part of the half time entertainment.

Yes it was Round 15, 1967. We scored 14 goals for the game, 7 in the second qtr and 7 in the last. Won by a goal. Howling northerly to Mt. Mistake goal. Only 4 wins for the season of which 2 were against Richmond (eventual premiers) and Collingwood who finished in the top 4. We finished bottom of the ladder. Bad times for the club and supporters. Any stories about Don Mckenzie? I know he went to Sunshine in the VFA and i think he won the VFA best and fairest. Came back to coach in the aftermath of Billy Goggin leaving from memory.

I'm guessing this was the last game of 2011, in a lot of ways the end of the Eade era of us as a competitive finals type team, with players like Hall, Ward and Hudson moving on. Did we beat Freo at home, with both teams around 8 or 9 wins?

Ok, an unexpected win put us on the top of the ladder, in somewhat of a false dawn for both club and player, a previous unknown turned hero booting 8 goals almost single handedly destroying a previously powerful and despised enemy's season at their home ground relegating them to their rightful place at the base of the ladder

[LostDoggy]

Pretty sure that was the great John Georgiades debut v Carlton at Princes Park R1 some year late in the 80s (1988?). Great day, but started a horrible year.

that would be the one, year was '89 though.
Was a pretty ordinary year but what a fantastic day that was to open our season, still believe Georgiades was pretty much responsible for carlscum missing the finals that year, they never really recovered from that, think he my have kicked 4 or 5 the following week before slowly morphing from superstar to a trivia question but he'll always be a hero to me for that day alone :) 22 possies and 8.4 from a hff on debut, there was only one way his career could go from there lol

[LostDoggy]

Yep, he was a strange one DB. I remember he kicked 15 goals in his first 3 games as a flanker and then seemed to pretty much disappear. From memory he was a left footer that may have got worked out pretty quickly. Still, great debut.

Guess that makes me up:

This game was a home victory against a premier of that year. Memorable for 2 Bulldog bags of 6 goals, 1 from an 18 year old in just his 4th game (he went on to be a much different player) and another from a spearhead who showed brilliant ability at times but never fulfilled his potential.

[Drunken Bum]

oohh, i think i know this one, another despicable club, remember the 6 from the 18 year old, the bit about being a very different player is appropriate as i have to carry the shame for believing he was soft for some weird reason, couldn't have been further from the truth.

i've had my turn for now though shall let others play

West with 6 (don't think I saw him kick 6 goals live total so this would have been amazing), do t know the spearhead - Del Ray?

[LostDoggy]

That's the one HD. SW looked a fringe flanker at the time and struggled for a while until cementing his right spot in the centre. Was DelRe also.

You're up.

[Happy Days]

Okay; 2000s, a backman had the chance to kick the longest distance goal possible but stupidly did the team thing instead. We won this game by the same margin we would later in the season lose to the same side by in one of the prettiest games I've ever seen.

That match was the reason Michael Gardiner got his welcome to the Whitten Oval in 1997. We played West Coast the week after that Essendon game and Worsfold and his heroic mates went to town on West so harshly that our guys were horrified and let the West Coast players know that the next time they bought a new player to Whitten Oval the shit would hit the fan. Gardiner was that new player.

This guy was in a class of his own. I hadn't seen anything like him since the old VFA days.

I'm standing in my spot watching the bounce of the ball when this dickhead arrives and try's to shoulder me out the way and then threatens to hit me when I didn't move. I didn't punch him him so much as push him hard with the heel of my hand and sat him on his arse. Then he stood up again as if nothing had happened and tried to annoy the guy standing on the other side of him by aggressively waving his flag right under his nose. The guy told him was a North supporter too and that he needed to calm down. Then his GF-who'd stood and watched everything-dragged him off.

I'm going to have to use process of elimination, as it's not coming to top of mind. Assuming it wasn't finals and Etihad wasn't open (Hawks, Cats, Saints, Roy Boys, Carlton playing elsewhere), that leaves North, Essendon, Melbourne, Richmond & Collingwood.

North. 1995?

[westdog54]

V Adelaide? I think we were 38 down.

Team is correct.

I'm going to throw in a couple of extra questions to drag this out. Whoever gets the most gets next crack.



1. What year?
2. The 3qt and final margins?
3. Adelaide's only score in the last quarter. Who was the less than average Adelaide forward so kicked it?
4. Malcolm Blight's interchange tactics were a talking point from this game. Why?

[Twodogs]

I'm thinking and thining hard. I can't remember this game at all.

[Twodogs]

But Blight only coached Adelaide in 1997/98/99 so it must have been one of those years.

We went through a stage where such comebacks were pretty commonplace. I remember over coming a 37 point deficit v Gelong at Kardinia Park and over coming a big 3/4 time deficit v North. Now that you mention the numbers I vaguely reme,ber that Adelaide game.

If we're thinking of the same game against Geelong I have a vague recollection of James Cook slotting a bonus goal on the siren and "saluting" the locals.

Ball is bouncing toward boundary line next to the point post just before half when Paul Hudson flails a boot at it. He ends up scooping the ball with his foot back over his left shoulder into the waiting hands of Luke Darcy in the goal square and thus begins the long haul back. I can remember the Geelong supporting drone saying all through the game "who's woofing now?" everytime Geelong kicked a goal getting woofed at a lot just after the game-that was funny.

Was a guest in the Geelong members the day we came from behind. Was very satisfying after many years of defeats there.

A rollercoaster of a game - we were comfortably in front then got headed in the last quarter but came back to win. Milestone game for one of our greats, a spectacular mark, Murph did his shoulder (there's a pattern emerging here). Some of our future players starred for the opposition. One of my favourite matches ever.

Adelaide MCG Johno's 300?

No but it was a Johnno milestone
