That's correct, we've done quite well with players recruited from North Melbourne over recent years.

Correct. Told ya it was easy.

Had to throw out the easy ones, since I'm on deadline at the moment... anything to keep the ball rolling.

Seeing that the 60 minute rule has expired here is the new question

What was the date and the year that the Geelong Football Club first adopted and used the nickname of 'the Cats'?

Correct. Jen's finishing fixing dinner, so she wanted me to let you know that you got the right answer.

Next question's to you...

Gary Ablett - 242 games, 1021 goals

Ablett played 6 games at Hawthorn and kicked 9 goals, therefore, I reckon he kicked 1012 goals at Geelong.
