TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK 9/5/04

[Ox]

Talking about Mark Jackson leads me to this question.....

In 1980 Roach and Jackson both kicked 100+ goals for the seniors & reserves respectively.

We also had a century goal kicker in the Under 19's - what was his name?

And does anyone know what happen to him?

There must have been something in the water at Punt rd back then.
I was just thinking about this rare acheivement the other day.
For some reason I thought BT kicked a ton too ???

If my constantly fading memory is correct - BT played in the reserves in 1981 and kicked a ton then.

Jackson was cleared to which ever club was his first in 1981 because he was not likely to get a game at the Tigers because we had Roach

Very good William.

I imagine BT would have been a LITTLE easier
to deal with than Jacko thus the "CLEARANCE"

There's a term we dont hear anymore.
"He's gettin a clearance to the Swans."-LMAOOOO

[WilliamPowell]

And the "clearance fee" is $100,000

Fishfinger, i think that must have been a night game - i don't think he played seniors. 

Thanks froars & WP. Must have dreamt Jacko played that game. Like when I dreamt BT was omitted from the '82 GF team for Ian Sartori......Hang on, that was a NIGHTMARE and actually happened.

Speaking of century goalkickers who was the first Richmond player to achieve the feat?

Looks like I've stumped you all  . A clue is the feat occurred when we were still in the VFA.

[WilliamPowell]

And did this player play VFL when we joined the VFL MT?

[froars]

Jack Hutchison was the first FF to reach 500 goals but only kicked 67 in 1907.

Is it him?

And, of course, i cheated - i wasn't aruond then lol

[mightytiges]

Oops  ... teach me to think up a question from memory without checking it first .

Congrats froars, that's who I was thinking of - Jack Hutchison. I'm not sure WP if he played in the VFL the following year.
