Q161

Which Magarey Medallist, who shares a name with a Melbourne suburb, played 4 VFL/AFL games? --Roisterer 07:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greg Whittlesea for Sturt in 1988. He went on to play with Hawthorn in 1991.[1] Wattmaster 00:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Whittlesea is the man. A big welcome to you Wattmaster and we look forward to your question. --Roisterer 06:23, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q162

Whom, how many ,when and who against holds the record for most kicks in a single senior match ? Wattmaster 09:48, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it still held by Peter Featherby, with 43 kicks against Melbourne in 1981? --Roisterer 06:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Featherby [2] is correct however, there are unconfirmed reports he may have had a 46 kick effort when playing for Footscay in 1975. Wattmaster 02:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC) Over to you --Roisterer[reply]

Around the same time it was reported that Glenn Gingell had amassed over 50 kicks in a Footscray reserves game - but he couldn't break into the seniors. πίππύ δ'Ω∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 01:56, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So what is it about Footscray players chasing kicks in the 70s? --Roisterer 02:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q163

Name the VFL footballer who was suspended for ten years on a range of charges from a reserves match in the 1980s? --Roisterer 02:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Bourke ; Collingwood 1985 Wattmaster 02:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That may be the record for the quickest answer on the quiz. Not only did Bourke manhandle an umpire but he apparently attacked an opposition player and a spectator for good measure. --Roisterer 02:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q164

6 sons of Sandover Medalists have played VFL/AFL football - name them ? -- Wattmaster 00:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Cousins (son of Bryan), Clem Michael (Stephen), Brett Peake (Brian), Shane Cable (Barry), Campbell Brown (Mal & ... someone else. I thought I had six when I started writing but I now realise I can't count. --Roisterer 04:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Correct , so far still one more. Wattmaster 02:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guess at Ashley McIntosh, son of Merv? Gnan garra 03:04, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think Merv. and Ash are related Wattmaster 09:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clue : The son played for Richmond in the 1980's Wattmaster 01:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was a Dan Foley that played for Richmond in the 80s...--TheGrantley 08:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And his dad is Brian Foley, Sandover winner in 1959. Ashley is John McIntosh's son, not Merv's. I think Roisterer or TheGrantley should ask the next Q. The-Pope 11:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hang on a tick..The-Pope ..can't I say whom the correct answerer is 1st ? Wattmaster 14:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The missing Father was Brian Foley and his son Dan Foley [3] was indeed the missing player I was looking for. Over to you --TheGrantley - Wattmaster 14:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q165

What do Max Rooke, Sanford Wheeler and Kristian Bardsley have in common? --TheGrantley 02:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is Bardsley the bloke who played for St Kilda during the early 90s? --Roisterer 04:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. He also played for the Kangaroos, IIRC, although what teams he played for is not relevant to this question. --TheGrantley 21:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know Rooke and Bardsley changed their names... Jarad Rooke and Kristian Anning also played in the AFL... but are the same people as Max and Bardsley. I'd be guessing that Wheeler also did a name change at some time. The-Pope 21:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Jarad Rooke, Matthew Wheeler and Kristian Anning all started their AFL careers but Sanford Wheeler and Kristian Bardsley finished their careers as will presumably Max Rooke. --TheGrantley 02:36, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This question reminds me of Garry Hocking becoming Whiskas :) - Bricks J. Winzer 10:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hocking was going to be my clue if no one got the answer. --TheGrantley 11:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q166

Guess I should ask a question. Hmm, looking around the room, I see the standard paper based encyclopedia for the Aussie suburbs...the 1983 version of The World Book Encyclopedia. Lets see how much coverage Aussie rules gets in that. No article (does that count as a redlink?). One photo and 3 1/2 lines in the Recreation section of the Australia article. Gee, wiki really is doing a great thing. So, in that photo of Ray Shaw (I think it's him... well it's a Pie with a mo) spoiling a Geelong opponent, you can clearly see the boundary line ads for Datsun, some workclothes (probably Yakka or King Gee, but it's obscured by the players) and which true blue Aussie product? (and no running down to your school library to check).The-Pope 14:02, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Four N Twenty Meat Pie Gnan garra 14:08, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

6 minutes to get the answer, not even long enough to heat up a pie... and of course Gnangarra being a true West Aussie, you'd prefer Mrs Macs Pies wouldn't you? I never knew until reading that article that they were just a premium version of Bakewells. Time for a breakfast pie I think. The-Pope 21:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Na I prefer the Bakewell ones to the gourmet Gnan garra 00:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q167

Along St Georges Tce in Perth 150 brass plaques were set into the footpath in 1979 as part of WA 150 celebrations one of those plaques includes an VFL/AFL coach with the record from 66 games of 24 win, 42 losses. Who is this person? Gnan garra 00:03, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Graham 'Polly' Farmer coached Geelong 1973-75. Wattmaster 01:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yep that him Gnan garra 07:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q168

Post World war II, which AFL/VFL player was the slowest to acheive 50 career games ? Wattmaster 08:12, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ricky Nixon? --Roisterer 11:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Luke O'Sullivan -- Bricks J. Winzer 13:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Luke 'Rhino' O'Sullivan [4] who took 8y 244d to reach the 50th game milestone. His career span was 1988-92; 1994-97. However, Collingwood's Jack Pimm [5] took 9y 24d to bring up his half-century, his career span was 1940; 1946-50 prior to the war. Over to you... Bricks J. Winzer —Wattmaster 01:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I now see that Nixon only took a comparatively speedy 7 & 1/2 years to crack the fifty; what was I thinking? --Roisterer 02:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q169

I really can't think of a good question so I'll go with an average one. Fremantle have used a variety of gimmicks in their 13-season history thus far. One was the team running onto the field not through a traditional banner, but through what object? - Bricks J. Winzer 03:09, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~The Railway Hotel~~ was it an anchor Gnan garra 03:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give you the average answer... an inflatable shipping container. Only used in 1995 I believe... must try to find a photo of it one day... I wonder where it is now? The-Pope 11:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Still waiting for the wharfies to release it for the next game. :) Gnan garra 11:37, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it's the inflatable container. With "Alinta Gas" printed on the side. And it was purple. - Bricks J. Winzer 06:16, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q170

Which year(s) did Wayne "Wacko Jacko" Jackson do "The Dipper" at the AFL Grand Final? The-Pope 12:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this but for no apparent reason I will guess 1996. --Roisterer 23:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know what it means, and I have a feeling 1996 is the right answer, but to cover the bases I'm going to say 1997. "The Dipper" was one of several moves, another being the "Kevin Sheedy", using a scarf which had been placed under every single seat at the MCG, during Mike Brady's song, "Doing The Cazaly", on Grand Final Day. In a typical act of pollies being unco, then-Premier Jeff Kennett's "Kevin Sheedy" was very poor... - Bricks J. Winzer 11:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bricks is on the right track, but not the right year. The-Pope 13:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To me, doing "The Dipper" means to bob up in the background in the televised post match celebrations, so I'd better guess 1995 then. --TheGrantley (talk) 09:37, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2004 ports first Gnan garra 10:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You lot are dancing around it like Punter chasing a doosra. some clues... it was in the Channel 7 era, and I know it definitely happened in two adjacent years (I'll pay either). The-Pope (talk) 06:11, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1998. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 13:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

and 1999 from me. --Roisterer (talk) 11:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

my other thought was 2001 Brissy first Gnan garra 11:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1999 + 2000 are the years... I went in 2000 and got a scarf and they had done it the previous year as well. Roisterer is up (again). The-Pope (talk) 11:50, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So what is doing "The Dipper"? --Roisterer (talk) 05:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Dipper was holding up the scarf like a mo. Unintentionally, it was a fitting question for Movember. The Sheedy was to wave it around like the jacket vs Eagles. The-Pope (talk) 12:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I like to know why I get things right. Incidentally, I am also involved in Movember, originally with the intention of growing a Max Rooke like moustache but it's starting to look like that shocking Andrew McQualter tache instead. --Roisterer (talk) 22:09, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q171

Really dredging the bottom of my memory banks at the moment... Name the bloke who coached the Swans for two matches in 1993. --Roisterer (talk) 21:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brett Scott - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 06:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would be him; 2 matches, 0 wins and into obscurity. --Roisterer (talk) 10:21, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q172

Name the present-day photo-journalist who umpired a league match at the age of 16. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 06:44, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any clues, like who he works for?? Gibbsyspin (talk) 05:51, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say that I am struggling to think of many photo-journalists, so looking at the Sunday Age I see the name Glen McCurtayne and reckon that's good a guess as any. --Roisterer (talk) 09:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can't give clues if it's easy. But I will anyway. He takes photos, he writes stories on local football (hence "photo-journalist"), appearing in papers published by Leader. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 12:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was it Cameron Noakes? TheGrantley (talk) 01:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 10:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can I ask whether, by "league match", you mean VFL/AFL or some other league? --Roisterer (talk) 04:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As this is the AFL quiz page, that is the league in question - to ask it about another league would not be in the spirit of the quiz. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 12:15, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

C'mon, it's been a week now, let's get things going. I have no clue. Gibbsyspin 03:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My 100 years of Australian Football book lists Harry Beitzel as being the youngest when he debutted at 21 in 1949. Then in 1981 the umps went on strike and juniors took over... but the ages listed were 18 to 22, including Harry's 19 year old son Brad. So I have no idea. How about [www.australianrules.com.a Les Everett]? The-Pope 05:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure I read an article that said those juniors were 16 at the time. And Brad Beitzel was the one I was thinking of, so it's all yours Pope. - Bricks J. Winzer 05:35, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q173

Who never played a VFL/AFL game but was "awarded" Brownlow Medal votes in three games. The-Pope 12:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A clue: St Kilda was the club, and it wasn't Jacko or Demetriou reading it out. The-Pope 22:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be Molly Meldrum in a mix up with Carlton's Molly Meldrum? --Roisterer 00:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was just a little before Carlton's Paul, not Ian, Meldrum's time. The-Pope 15:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lindsay Fox? --TheGrantley (talk) 05:42, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. Think moore generically. The-Pope (talk) 09:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Saints mascot generic enough? --Roisterer (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about The Saint? --TheGrantley (talk) 23:06, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. My previous clue was not a spelling mistake... it happened in Peter Moore's year. Votes were read out for a Saints player who never played, as a prank. What name was used. The-Pope (talk) 04:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can only think of Billy Bloggs! - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 07:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if it was Billy, Bruce or Betty Bloggs, but B. Bloggs apparently got votes in three games in 1979! Can you imagine it happening now, with the computerised scoring etc. I wonder who did it and how it was done? The-Pope (talk) 15:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to guess Massive Merv from Moorabin. I'd be interested to hear whose votes the B. Bloggs votes were actually for. --Roisterer (talk) 21:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q174

Name the current club chairman whose brother had to deal with a truckload of chicken poo. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 05:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Surely Frank Costa. --Roisterer (talk) 22:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. The truckload was in the news when it happened. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 02:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If it's in the news then perhaps it was Eddie's brother who is a journo. --TheGrantley (talk) 01:14, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about James Brayshaw ? , his brother Mark [6] was CEO at Richmond when a disgruntled supporter deposited a load outside the front door of Punt Rd. — Wattmaster (talk) 01:40, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly right. Mark Brayshaw had to deal with the manure, left by someone who claimed "This is what the Tigers are playing like"... Word is the "disgruntled supporter" wasn't even a Richmond fan. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 08:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Q175

Which VFL/AFL player has had the longest interval from one game played to the next ? — Wattmaster (talk) 09:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Wiley? --TheGrantley (talk) 23:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure that somewhere in the dark depths of the VFl there was a bole who played a few games in his teens before heading off to the country, only to be lured back a decade later for a few games but I will show my ignorance and guess Peter Melesso. --Roisterer (talk) 21:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clue : This player's gap spanned the great war and he ended up playing for 3 clubs. — Wattmaster (talk) 01:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Darn - was going to guess Clem Michael or Daniel Metropolis. Can't think of anyone. Would University be one of his clubs? - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 03:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another Clue : The player played for the following 3 clubs, Richmond , Essendon & North Melbourne. — Wattmaster (talk) 08:54, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the player you're thinking of but I see that Eric Tonkin played for Melbourne in 1906 before playing for Sturt and North Melbourne (then in the VFA) before returning to Melbourne in 1919. Does he aat least get close? --Roisterer (talk) 12:52, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Answer is Syd Barker, Snr [7]

sorry been away for a bit. He had a 'break' of 13y 5d between matches. Having played for Richmond , Essendon and Kangaroos — Wattmaster (talk) 04:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting the stats site lists Tonkin as being born in 1894 and only playing for Melbourne in 1919, so either my source has it wrong or the stats site is thinking one player is actually two. --Roisterer (talk) 05:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Q176

It seems Wattmaster is enjoying his xmas/New Years, so I'll ask another question and hope Wattmaster returns soon with the answer to the above question. My question is "name the top VFL player who was still playing senior football 41 years after his VFL debut?" --Roisterer (talk) 08:08, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Minouge? --TheGrantley (talk) 04:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not Kylie's sister. --Roisterer (talk) 22:07, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! My poor brain tried to tell me that Roy Cazaly was the answer but when I looked at his wikipedia page it didn't mention such a long career. However, while looking for something else, I stumbled on this page that tells us that in 1951, aged 58 and 40 years after his debut for St Kilda, he played a senior match for Newtown in Tasmania, kicking a goal. I judst hope I'm walking at 58. --TheGrantley (talk) 22:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Got it in one. --Roisterer (talk) 11:43, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, 'tis wrong. The ADB article actually says - "His last professional game was with Camberwell when he was 48, but in 1951 when 58 he played in a short veterans' match, then a full game for New Town in which he kicked a goal." Roy Cazaly snr played his last full season of first-class football in 1936 aged 43 (for New Town in TFL), and two games for Camberwell in 1941 aged 48. The references to 1951 relate to charity matches, not senior football. RossRSmith (talk) 12:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have my reference in front of me but a senior match for me would be something that is not a junior match, charity or not. --Roisterer (talk) 22:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Q177

Which former AFL player (a full forward) did I once spill a drink over at the Lakes Resort Hotel, West Lakes (the hotel opposite AAMI Stadium)? --TheGrantley (talk) 00:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was it Tony Lockett and that's the reason why you now live in an iron lung? --Roisterer (talk) 23:48, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not Plugger, thank christ. The Lakes was the local of the full forward in question. --TheGrantley (talk) 11:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Modra Gnan garra 13:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go for the other one... Scott Hodges, as I can't see Schell having "a local". The-Pope (talk) 13:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, Hodges would have been my next guess. --Roisterer (talk) 21:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hodges is right. Fortunately he just looked annoyed at me when I spilt my drink over him. I also once saw Crackers Keenan in the Lakes but wisely went nowhere near him. --TheGrantley (talk) 07:45, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Q178

Sorry about the delay. Which game was Perth TVW 7's first colour telecast of footy? The-Pope (talk) 13:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1976 WAFL GRand Final? --Roisterer (talk) 00:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I might try the 1975 WAFL GF, West Perth against South Fremantle. --TheGrantley (talk) 00:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think the first might be too late and the 2nd too early - so I'll opt for the opening match of the 1976 WAFL season. πίππύ δ'Ω∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 07:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1975 (just like 1979) doesn't exist to me! Hint: It was before all of these & wasn't a WAFL match. The-Pope (talk) 11:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The 1974 VFL grand final between Richmond and North. πίππύ δ'Ω∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 23:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was it part of The Interstate carnival in early 1975? --Roisterer (talk) 00:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a WA v Vic Interstate match from 1974? --TheGrantley (talk) 04:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Getting closer. Hint: It was before all of these & wasn't a WA match. The-Pope (talk) 12:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1973 VFL Grand Final, Richmond v Carlton? --Roisterer (talk) 22:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this fun, just like a shooting gallery at a carnival. The report said that one team's jumpers looked dull, but AFAIK, it's one of the few jumpers that hasn't changed since (not that it's used often lately). The-Pope (talk) 22:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weird, I could have sworn I wrote another answer post 21 January but apparently not. Perhaps a Big V vs South Australia match in 1973. --TheGrantley (talk) 03:42, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A colour telecast before Sept 1974? Are you sure?? Didn't we get colour TV to coincide with the 1976 Olympics? πίππύ δ'Ω∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 12:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, after some further research, I'm not sure if my initial reference, 'The Clubs' is 100% correct, as my answer if a Vic vs SA game from the 1972 carnival, with the Big V jumpers looking dull. So I think TheGrantley is closest. But as the famous Aunty Jack Colour Monster broadcast wasn't until 1976, maybe it was filmed in colour but only broadcast in B&W. The-Pope (talk) 00:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Colour television was introduced in Australia on 01 March 1975. - Bricks J. Winzer (talk) 07:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Q179

Who was suspended for eight weeks for striking Joe Murdoch? --TheGrantley (talk) 04:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just typed Joe Murdoch into a certain search engine and discovered that pretty much his sole claim to fame was that he was struck by Gordon Coventry, who then missed the 1936 Grand Final because of it. --Roisterer (talk) 03:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you got it!--Mark Chung (talk) 13:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He did get it! --TheGrantley (talk) 22:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Q180

Sorry for the hold up; I missed seeing that I won. Now, this question was correct a few years back when I heard it in a quiz and I don't think the answer has changed since: What do Dale Lewis and Daryn Cresswell have in common (besides playing for Sydney)? --Roisterer (talk) 21:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They both played a few games for the Geelong reserves. πίππίνύ δ - (dica) 03:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea whether that is right or not but it's not the answer I was after. It has nothing to do with any other club. --Roisterer (talk) 04:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

that's ok - I got no idea either! πίππίνύ δ - (dica) 06:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They were both nicknamed "Booger"? --TheGrantley (talk) 22:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Again, not as far as I know. It has more to do with the way they came to Sydney. --Roisterer (talk) 07:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They were both drafted in the midseason draft and captained Sydney at one point? --TheGrantley (talk) 22:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Lewis ever captained Sydney but you are almost there. --Roisterer (talk) 22:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They were both drafted in the mid-season draft and played in a Grand Final? Jonesy (talk) 02:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
