sorry Carlton should be for question 11

My mistake Julz. The answer to Q11 is a number. Melbourne is the oldest Aussie rules club but where does it come in the list of oldest clubs over all football codes (AR, soccer, rugby)?
-
Q5 - "Checker" Hughes
Q11 = 7

9 - The other one Hutchison?
This is 'sort of' right. ;D
Hutchison was caretaker coach (for at least one game) but I can't remember why, in a night game against us at the MCG. Melbourne were crap and we were supposed to flog them, so I think it was in 1995. Garry Lyon had a back injury and couldn't walk yet blitzed. First time I ever noticed (and hated) Jeff Farmer. They flogged us. :(
-
Technicalities work for me, Fish, except when they don't go in my favour lol.
One-Eyed, lift your game :wallywink
-
LOL. Blame wikipedia ;).

Smarty pants :wallywink. I didn't think he was officially appointed as senior coach but he's listed on the Dees honour board with Balmey for 1997.
Yep it was that horrid night game in 97 :(. We fell for the old lift for the new coach trick.
-
Was my answer to question 3 wrong? Richmond's first winning its first VFL match against Melbourne.

1. I'll give it to you LT. Olympic Park is the venue listed on the stats.rleague.com site :thumbsup.
2. Correct LT :sleep
Only question 8 to go. Two names. One so bleedingly obvious that you'll kick yourself when you see it.
-
I've had a look on the OER Draft List ;) and Haydn Robins was drafted from Melb preseason '94. Played 4 games for Richmond and I don't recall any of them. ;D Is he one of the two?
The obvious one has me stumped. The most obvious to me was Simmo.
-
POYAS! and a guy called David Williams played a handful too
-
Well done LT and FF. Poyas and Robins were the two :clapping.
-
Williams didn't play LT. We drafted him in an underhanded way when Melb dropped him off their list while he recovered from a knee reconstruction. He didn't want to go to Richmond and never played again.
Did Poyas go to Melb? I know they wouldn't draft him because Gutnik said they couldn't (butt out Joe), reason being he was jewish and Joe reckoned he shouldn't play on Saturdays.
Sorry one-eyed. :-[ Butt out Fishfinger. ;D
Edit: Woops, I see Poyas obviously did. Well done LT. :whistle
-
No worries Fish. I do remember seeing Williams play, but it must have been against the Tigers. I can remember us drafting him though.
