Which delisted Eagle unsuccessfully sued the club for unfair dismissal?

Glenn Bartlett


My Question:
West Perth's Sean King played one game for the Eagles in 1987. Name the club he played his only game against?

Can someone post our Team of the Decade? Did Cousins and Gardiner make it...lets be honest we have never had a better ruckmen than Gardy. Cousins would have stiff competition in the midfield spots with Lamb, Matera, Kemp, Mainy, Turley, Evans etc..

Cant remember the team they chose....

The team was chosen in 1996, so Gardy and Cousins were just making their debuts. Ryan Turnbull was the ruckman.

The team is somewhere on the westcoasteagles.com.au site.

Well done GB.

Take a stab, and say Carlton.

Nothing much is happening here at the moment, so I will ask, How many games did Paul Symmonds get stuck on at the Eagles?

 

[ozzult]

99

 

[USAEagle]

Do you think Symmonds might be worth picking up again? He was pretty handy in the games I saw him in.

 

[ozzult]

He played today in the East Perth win, and he was ok, but he isn't up to the AFL standard anymore.

We need Goldenblue to come back and give us a ruling on the question he asked :\

We need to start asking simpler questions. Just because something has stuck in someones mind does not make it Eagles trivia! I'm sure anyone could come up with questions nobody could get right, simply because its something that you have remembered.

We need easier questions, we need to eliminate people asking things like "who was the 47 player to pull on an eagles jumper" or "who was 7th in possessions at WC in the 1988 season".

Yep, they need to be less specific.

I'll ask another question.

Name two number #1 draft picks currently on the Eagles list.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

This one I know Banfield and Gardiner

My Question:
Name all the players to captain the eagles? <-----If you don't know this, you're not an eagles supporter!

 

[pauljam]

My answer;

Glendinning, Rance, Malaxos, Worsfold, McKenna, Kemp/Cousins

 

[ozzult]

Your question now pauljam, I believe that is correct.

 

[jod23]

I know its not my question but here is an easy one.

Which Matera has kicked more career goals? Peter of Phillip?

Sorry.

King played in the last game of the season which was against St. Kilda.

I can understand this due to the younger guys here. Most of the younger guys remember the early nineties onwards, where maybe us "older" guys can go back to the beginning.

Up to you guys what you wish to do.

Last difficult question from me, a 2- parter.

Qa: Who was the team we had to win against to make the finals in 1988 in the last qualifying round?

Qb: Who did Murray Rance play on that night and played his best game for the club?

Take a punt and say Phillip. Shorter career, longer in the fwd line.

 

[Eagle_Fan]

Peter.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

I'm quite positive its Roo. I think he is something like 3rd in the eagles all time goalkickers behind Sumich and Lewis.

 

[Captain Random]

Ah well. One in two chance (three if you include Wally, which you didn't)

I wouldn't have thought he would have more than Heady?

 

[Eagle_Fan]

At the start of the season, Roo was 29 behind Heady.

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

 

[i_luv_westcoast]

I never realised Roo had kicked that many goals.

 

[ozzult]

Eagle Fan - your question.

 

[Eagle_Fan]

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?
