[scmods]

What is the lowest score ever recorded against the Eagles? The score, the team and the year please!

 

[Captain Random]

23, Essendon, 1999?

 

[ozzult]

Nope, lower.

 

[Mr Q]

Melbourne, 20 points, Round 1 1991.

That was my first Eagles game ever - back of the 3 tier stand, Darren Bennett getting slagged for Melbourne and the Eagles were brilliant.

I saw an Eagles game against Fitzroy at the Western Oval in 1994 where they scored 2 goals something points. Very wet and windy day. So my guess is Fitzroy, 2.7. (19) points.

I thought this was the correct answer, but I could be wrong?

Nah, you're right. When I saw VoR's response I had a look, Fitzroy kicked 3.8 against us in that game. Incidentally it appears Fitzroy scored this twice against us, once at Subi and once at the Western Oval.




Anyway, for another question:

What are the three AFL venues that the Eagles have played at and never lost. (Hints: one venue includes a draw).

 

[ozzult]

Carrara, Manuka, Victoria Park?

I know I'm not correct on some of them.. did I get any correct?

 

[ozzult]

I just had a look, and I know I've got 2/3 right, and I had a look at the third stadium, and I've never even heard of it before.

See if someone else can guess it.

 

[Captain Random]

Carrara, Manuka, um ... BC Dome in Vancouver?

 

[Mr Q]

Matches played during the season only, so no, not Vancouver.

Ozzult, yes you have 2/3, and the third one I spotted when looking up VoR's answer to the other question. I do remember the game there though.

 

[Captain Random]

Bruce Stadium?

 

[ozzult]

Yep carneagles.

Did you look it up?

 

[Captain Random]

Nah, just a guess.

I couldn't remember if we won at Bruce Stadium or not, the only thing I can remember is Brett Heady doing his shoulder in a tackle when he hit the concrete skirting around the playing surface there.

 

[ozzult]

Your question mate.

 

[Captain Random]

Following on from my random guessing on the last question ...

Can anyone list every venue the Eagles have played at for premiership points?

And a bonus point if you can answer this question: is this the longest thread ever on the Eagles board?

 

[Mr Q]

Absolutely. Carrara, Manuka and Bruce Stadium.

The really cool thing about Bruce Stadium is that we are the only team ever to have won there. For anyone wondering where it is its in Canberra.

I'll give it a shot:

Subi
WACA
Football Park,
MCG,
Waverly,
Princes Park/OO,
Docklands,
Moorabbin,
Windy Hill,
Western Oval
Victoria Park
Kardinia Park
SCG
Gabba
Bruce Stadium
Manuka
* and *
North Hobart Oval.

On the other question I'll go with "no, but we're working on it".

 

[ozzult]

Mr Q's response + Carrara.

 

[ozzult]

And this is the second longest thread, trailing Jod's BFWCPOTY thread.

 

[Captain Random]

Spot on ozzult. Bloody good effort though Mr Q.

About the grounds I mean, wouldn't have a clue about the longest thread!
