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.  :(

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.

Jacko played for St. Kilda in 1983 but was sacked halfway through the season for disciplinary reasons.

It's an obscure one.

Clue: no longer used for footy matches but used for other sports.
