That's a sad story about Rocket. When he first came to Morabbin he looked like he could be anything. In the end his career was just a wasted opportunity. Next .... Memory Lane. Windy Hill Not a happy hunting ground ! Round 9 1990 But this day we were on song. Knew we were a chance to win when Spiro ...

Oh I see what you mean :oops: :oops: So it was Rocket Rod ? When he still had two good knees, didn't drink and didn't follow the nags. Wasn't there some story that back under Baldock he called in sick to avoid training and then went off to the races and enjoy a few quiet ales. But unfortunately he r...

Enrico Misso ?

Might be Plugger, or David Grant, or Rod Owenthesaints ?

I'll guess Grant.

You got it Cowboy ! It was Danny Hughes (ex Melbourne) playing for Adelaide 1991 Round 7 at Moorabbin. We won by a new record margin of 131 points (162 to 31). Plugger kicked 12.6 (with that lazy 9 to half time). Russell Morris probably outshone him with 18 marks. We kicked 7 goals in each of the fi...

And I think one of those NDS goals was the one where there was a loose ball about 20 metres out, there was 3 Melb defenders around him, NDS swooped on it and somehow slotted it through opposition arms and legs. Magic ! Anyway, next question .... Name the most humiliated opposition player ever at Moo...

NDS
I think he kicked all of them (or was it 4) in the first quarter ?
That was the match when Melb came out and spent the entire first quarter trying to rough up Roo whilst we built up a match winning lead.

You got it - University is the 5th club. So the full answer is 5 teams Ess Best is 9 (Billy Mohr in 32 and Plugger in 87) Freo Best is 5 (Fraser in 2003) Haw Best is 9 (Billy Mohr in 32, Verdun Howell in 65, and Plugger in 88) Port Best is 6 (some prick called B Hall in 2000) Univ Best is ? There is...

Richmond and Hawthorn? Yes you are right about Hawthorn. But Richmond :shock: :shock: :shock: it was only this year that Frase became our first 10 goaler against them in that fantastic game at the G. Others prev got Freo, Port and Essendon. So that makes 4 teams, but the answer is 5 teams. So I am ...

Getting closer.

Yes Corr Blimey our best effort against Essendon is 9.
Done by Billy Mohr in 32 and Plugger in 87.

So that's Freo, Port, Essendon and ...... ?

I'm looking for 2 more clubs

Saint66au, The "new boys" Freo and Port are correct. Freo Best is 5 (Fraser in 2003) (Though I recall Stewie kicked a big bag against them in a pre-season game). Port Best is 6 (some prick called B Hall in 2000) But Geelong is incorrect. The legendary Dave McNamara bagged 10 against them i...

Cowboy - can I presume I am right ? If so, here is the next question...... In the history of this club there have been 25 instances of a player bagging 10 (or more) goals. Incredibly Plugger is responsible for 15 of those bags. - The most number against any individual clubs is 5 against the Swans (...

Who kicked the debated point/goal that got us a draw (and off the bottom of the ladder) when we played against North Melbourne in 1980? robert elliott I think there is some confusion here. It was Barry Breen who kicked the goal against North to tie the scores in 1980. And I don't think there was an...

Fantastic effort St Trav.
I've been meaning to do it a few pages at a time, I will be inspired by your effort.
I also suspect some of the questions have probably been repeated ?

He would still have been only 29 had he played on till 1966 !

Yes StC the player was Bob Pascoe. Bob was a ruckman who played for us in the late 60s along with his brother Barry (who was also involved in a super controversial incident, but that's another story). They both came from North. It was 1968 Round 9 against Geelong at Kardinia Park. The man he was acc...

Theme is "Tribunal atrocities !" What is the worst tribunal decision in the history of this club ? There was two that related to massive missed opportunities. The best known and still mourned was Big Carl copping 4 weeks and missing the premiership, though despite it being harsh there is ...

It was Ian Cooper wearing #15.

CB,
as Meatloaf said "3 out of 4 ain't bad"

It was R7 1987 v Richmond at Waverley
Plugger kicked 6,
Owen (the Saints) kicked 4,
Winmar got 4

But the other one was Kenny Sheldon (not Banger) with 4.
And we won !

Over to you ...

OWTS I will give you some hints. Sound logic but it WASN'T that famous day in Round 6 1978 when we set our club record score of 31.18 204. Surprisingly that day we only had two players kicking >=4 goals The great George Young with 7 and Russell Greene with 5. More surprisingly in the return match at...

OK One of the best measures of when a forward line is really firing is when you have multiple goalkicking options. eg one year North had 4 forwards kicking over 50 goals - The Horse, The King, The Fridge, and McAdam. In terms of individual matches one measure of a forward line that is on fire is whe...

802,678 for the H&A 67,528 for the Injuryfest against Melb = 870,206 This is our 5th highest ever (not bad with only one final). But lower than the last two seasons. Other bigger years were 1998 and of course 1997 which was our record year for total attendance (we just made the million mark) and...

Alright I'll have a go.

802,678
But I think that might only be for the 22 H&A's ?
