Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version

[Twodogs]

Shane Allen?


Welsh, sorry. Scott Welsh

[Sedat]

What about Gia, he kicked plenty in his time, but can't remember over 60
Not Gia, although he did top our goalkicking twice.

[Sedat]

Welsh, sorry. Scott Welsh
Not Welshy either

[jazzadogs]

Not Welshy either

Didn't James Cook have a standout season in 97 or 98? I'm not sure quite how much of a standout it was though...I'm probably a loooooong way off.

EDIT: just checked and was tempted to delete this. He kicked 36 in 97, including 17 in the final three games.

Yep. Cookie could kick lots of goals in hames but never played that many games.

I worked with a Carlton supporter that was so upset about Carlton clearing Cook to us that he cut his membership up with scissors and sent it to their membership department! He showed me the letter and the cut up membership card before he sent it!

The only goal kicker left in the last 20 years is Hudson

1998, 60

[Sedat]

1998, 60
Close enough - 61 goals. Remarkable haul for a HFF in the graveyard position

Over to you BAD

[bornadog]

In our premiership year, 2016, name in order, the top 5 players for 1%ers

[LostDoggy]

1% tend to be the domain of defenders, especially keys. I'll go; Morris, Roberts, Wood, Hamling, Biggs (Adams not enough games?).

1. Morris
2. Roberts

Wood and Hamling in there, Biggs incorrect, Adams no

[Sedat]

Bont is my guess out of left-field.

Close but not top 5

[westdog54]

Morris
Roberts
Dahlhaus
Hamling
Wood

[Twodogs]

Morris
Roberts.
Macrae
Wood
Hamling.

Hammers did well to crack the top 5 seeing he missed a fair chunk of senior footy. A lot of them would have come in the finals as we bashed and hammered our way to a flag

Very funny posting so many goes. This one correct

[westdog54]

I thought putting Suckling on a list was the funniest.

[Twodogs]

Alright. Without googling it or looking it up name I won't you to list al our V/AFL leading goalkicking award winners, their totals and the years they won it.

[Sedat]

Beasley kicked 105 goals in 1985.
KT I think kicked 118 goals in 1980 and 91 goals in 1979.
Also I think Jack Collins topped the goal kicking with 84 goals in 1954. Don't think we have anyone else who has topped the goalkicking.

[Twodogs]

One more mate.

[Sedat]

One more mate.
Alby Morrison in the early 1930's with 50 odd goals?

[Twodogs]

Nup. He's already been mentioned.


For a bonus point name the player who kicked the most Goals for us on his debut game.

Rawlings with 7?

[Twodogs]

Rawlings with 7?


Nup.

[LostDoggy]

The debut game would have to be Georgiades who kicked 8 on debut in R1 1989. With the other goalkicking leader, Templeton followed up his ton with 90 odd the following year (1979).

Yeah Sedat inverted the Templeton one and had him kicking 91 the year before his ton but I knew what he meant. Your answers of KT and JG are both incorrect.

[bulldogtragic]

I am from the 2000's era to now.
I am a high end/first round/top 20 draft pick.
I spent two or more years on the list.
I didn't live up to the expectations.
Ergo, I'm no longer on our list.

Can I just say no to about 10 answers until I'm boxed in? Yes. But you'll have to trust me that I won't.

Who am I?

[GVGjr]

Cam Faulkner?

Nah scratch that

[GVGjr]

BT, I think this might be a tricky one, Patrick Veszpremi?

[bulldogtragic]

BT, I think this might be a tricky one, Patrick Veszpremi?

Tricky, yep. I've given myself some latitude. Not Paddy. My comment to him would've been a huge disappointment almost tied with a certain player we got in from Brisbane around the same time that we used a top 20 pick on. So disappointing Everitt (pick 10) netted us virtually nothing directly or through Paddy in the trade.

[Twodogs]

Andrejs has netted a lot of laughs over the journey and I'm all about the lolz.

Jarrad Grant? (please don't hurt me)

[bornadog]

Tim Walsh

[Twodogs]

The ugg boot.

[bulldogtragic]

Jarrad Grant? (please don't hurt me)


Tim Walsh


The ugg boot.

All no. I'll let you off with a warning Boydogs. :D

[bornadog]

Christian Howard

[bulldogtragic]

Christian Howard

The left leg cannon? Not he.

[Axe Man]

Andrew McDougall?

[bulldogtragic]

Andrew McDougall?

Not Doogs.

[Twodogs]

All no. I'll let you off with a warning Boydogs. :D


That's weird. For the life of me I couldn't remember the name Trent Bartlett no matter how hard I tried (for some reason I really struggle with his name, he is always "oh yeah, the ugg boot, transferred from Brisbane, wore number 18, kicked the winner v Carlton in 2000, what's his name again?) but the moment I read your post his name enters my mind.

[bornadog]

Stringer

[bulldogtragic]

Stringer

I like that nomination BAD, great thinking. But alas, not this player.

[bulldogtragic]

Recap:

Not Stringer, Doogs, Vez, Grant, Howard, Walsh, Bartlett, Faulkner

[bornadog]

Could it be the Ayce.

[bulldogtragic]

Recap:

Not Stringer, Doogs, Vez, Grant, Howard, Walsh, Bartlett, Faulkner


Could it be the Ayce.

It could also be Power, Ray, Everitt, Hrovat, etc.

But it is in deed Ayce. AKA Zaine's brother.

[bornadog]

Staying with the 2000.

I was drafted in the 2000s and I have the dubious honour of collecting a total of 1 handball, 1 mark in two games.

Who am I ?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Paul Dooley??

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Paul Dooley??

Sorry I meant another tall doofus.. Nick Bruton!

[Twodogs]

Sorry I meant another tall doofus.. Nick Bruton!


We were very taken with ourselves with his drafting. We were so very clever. We were yelling from the rooftops what a good player we had bundled away at Bacchus Marsh and kept mum about all year.

It might have been better to have kept our mouth shut a bit longer.

[bornadog]

Sorry I meant another tall doofus.. Nick Bruton!

Yes Nick

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Yes Nick

Ok.
1980's player a defender who played 2 seasons with us for 18 games after stints at 2 other clubs.
He later served as an assistant coach with us for 3 years during Terry Wheeler's reign.

I was going to say Darryl Griffen but the assistant coach clue has thrown me now.


Is it Alan Mcconville?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Is it Alan Mcconville?

No not McConville ( don't recall him). I originally was going to pick Daryl Griffin but no it is not he.
Although he was still an assistant coach with us in Griffin's 1st year.

[Twodogs]

McConville has had an interesting history. As a player he played a lot of reserves footy at Fitzroy before coming to Footscray and playing a bit of senior footy (in a bad, bad team, admittedly we were crap) under Royce Hart and Bluey Hampshire in 81/82. Dunno where he went from there but he next turns up at Fitzroy as the caretaker coach in 1995 when Mick Nunan walked out then he stands aside for Bernie Quinlan who walks out before the season was out and again McConville takes over as senior and was the last man to coach Fitzroy in a AFL match.

He's at the plastics now. He was an assistant under Cameron but now he's skills and coach of their AFLW team.

Ah yes.. as pee Merantau's comment you mixed your 'McC's' I think and created a hybrid monster out of the names of Allan McConnell and perhaps Peter McConville.

It was late at night.

[bornadog]

Was it Duperouzel (sorry about spelling)? Pure guess, not sure he played in 3 teams or coached

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Not Duper. This guy was on our list in 89 and 90. Better known with North where he played 20 games.

[Twodogs]

Oh the full back? Beasley kicked 12 on him at VFL park, WTF was his name..

Phil something, Peter something.

[bornadog]

Not Duper. This guy was on our list in 89 and 90. Better known with North where he played 20 games.

You gave it away, Tim Harrington????

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

You gave it away, Tim Harrington????

Yep thought North would give it away. Tim Harrington it is.

[bornadog]

Two part Question based on our current listed players.

* Name the player who is the 11th highest handballer of all time WB players and is still on our list.

* Name the current listed player who has zero handballs recorded in all his AFL games.

[Twodogs]

I like the two parters.

Liam Picken and Lewis Young.

[bornadog]

I like the two parters.

Liam Picken and Lewis Young.

Liam yes, Young No

[Axe Man]

I like the two parters.

Liam Picken and Lewis Young.

Young would have been going well to have no handballs in 7 games. I would guess Collins as he's only played the 1 game.

[bornadog]

correct

[Mofra]

Forgot about Collins, I assumed it would be a single gamer so was thinking Lipinski
