Well, I was hoping to be able to ask who our first Brownlow Medallist was, but.... I'll try again next year

So, the question will be a nice and easy one, just for Jod ...

Who were the goal kickers for West Coast in the 1992 GF, and how many did each kick?

**** i think i know this....

Matera kicked 5
Sumich also kicked 5....or 6?
Evans kicked 3
Wilson 2

Dammit i just watched it like yesterday....lol...We kicked more than that but my mind has gone blank...didnt Heady kick one? Mainy?

How many did he kick this season?

Anyway, now I'm all curious, so I thought I"d look it up.

Top 10
Suma - 514
Lewie - 258
Heady - 236
Pete Matera* - 207+
Phil Matera* - 182+
Fraser Gehrig - 159
Scotty - 158
Kempy - 117
Cuz* - 114+
Glendinning - 111

So this tally doesnt count the seasons goals? Interesting how quickly you can run up the leaderboard. Wilson will be in the top 10 in another year or so...Phillip could catch Suma?

Close enough...
Sumich 6, Matera 5, Evans 3 and Wilson 2. You're just lucky I didn't ask for the order they were kicked in. (Anyone want to have a go?)

It is interesting how quickly Phil, Frase & Scotty in particular climbed the list, but 500 goals is a massive achievement. I doubt Phil will get there.

Peter Matera kicked 11 goals this season to take his tally to 218. Will need a good year next year to move by Heady. Phillip Matera kicked 46 this season so his tally goes to 228 to move into 4th overall. Cousins added 16 to his total to move to 130.

Top 10 now...
Suma - 514
Lewis - 258
Heady - 236
Ph Matera - 228
Pe Matera - 218
Gehrig - 159
Cummings - 158
Cousins - 130
Glendinning - 111

So there ya go...dont know if anyone just outside that group has moved into the top 10 because i dont know where EF got that top 10. Punda kicked 26 this season but i dont know how many he had before that, probably not many given he was in the backline for most of his career. Williams must be going alright he usually kicks around 20 a season, he must be up around 60 to 70 or so.

I'll throw another question out, to get this back to the top:

In the 1995 draft, the Eagles received the No.3 pick from Fremantle in a deal which saw an Eagles premiership player go to Freo. Ironically, the player whom the Eagles drafted with that pick also eventually ended up in the fruity purple.

Name one or both players.

David Hynes traded for the pick that netted us Buzz Fewster?

 

[Captain Random]

Spot on. We also got Phil Matera in the deal too.

 

[Eagle_Fan]

Well in that case we won out of it. Has Phil really been on the list since the end of 95?

Another easy one, who was deemed our best first year player in '96?

Would have to be Cuz, although Morrison had a pretty good debut year.

 

[Eagle_Fan]

NO! Both wrong.... surprising huh?

The same Gardi that debuted in '97?

Try again. And i'm talking offical 'WCE Best First Year Player' here... big statue thing and all.

Gardi didn't play until 97.

Got me stumped - Phil Matera didn't have a great debut year in 96.

Are we talking AFL first year or someone that played at another club before the Eagles?

Donnelly.

Since I know I'm right, I'll ask the next question, an easy one.

Where on the ladder did we finish in our 1st season?

8th

*round of applause D4E*

But since I have to write an essay, I'll pass on the next question.

We have a weiner.

Ask away.

 

[Captain Random]

8th it was. The question I thought about asking last night was, if the current finals system had been in place in 1987, would we have made the finals?

 

[Jabber]

Still thinking - trying to find something obscure

 

[Jabber]

Lowest crowd figure at an Eagles Home & Away game. Location & score. (Easy)

Shouldn't that be "wiener"?
