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?

Well if there was a final 8 we would have, but there were only 14 teams.

Bugger if I know. This is Bigfooty, spelling is as important as credibility

That depends - Am I a sausage or a small town in Arizona.

Didn't a Fitzroy game in Melbourne draw ~ 7,000?

The answer is around a couple of thousand less than that

There is a Fitzroy connection, but it's not Fitzroy.

Brisbane Bears v West Coast at Carrara, think it was 1988 and a crowd around 4500.

Close enough

1987 Rd.20 Brisbane Bears at Carrara
West Coast 140 defeated Brisbane Bears 119
Crowd=4859

Two part question:

What is the lowest guernsey number never worn in a game for the Eagles, and what is the highest number that has been worn?

(strictly premiership games only)

If we're talkin premiership games then thatd be 8 as the lowest number never worn and the highest would be either 50 for Turnbull or 53 if McIntosh was wearing it, which I dont think he was, or maybe he was in 91.

By premiership games, I mean regular season games + finals (ie games as part of the premiership season). Sorry, should have been clearer. So 8 has been worn (Malaxos, Peos, Metropolis, Taylor and probably others).

 

[Captain Random]

Lowest = 1 (Unless the fat Eagles mascot had a lower jumper number)

Highest = probably Milly's 53, as Thrawn said.

OK the 53 is correct. But the lowest number never worn (no smart arse comments about 0 either )

 

[Captain Random]

Ahh. Whoops.

41?

Not quite - worn by Jeremy Humm this year and previously by Brendan Krummell (only one game in #41 though, 8 in #15).

Nah. Embley just looks like he's not playing

Its in the 40s.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

47

 

[Mr Q]

D4E you're absolutely right.

(For out of season matches the highest number worn was 60 by Matthew Burton)

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Umm, let me see.

Q) How many WC players have won a premiership? (All time, not only the ones currently on our list).

However, you'll have to work out the answer by yourselves, I off for today.

 

[Captain Random]

I assume you mean those who actually won a premiership with West Coast.

25?

 

[scmods]

I think he's gone for the day... shall we just assume you're right and carry on?

 

[scmods]

New Question for you all:

(One for the oldies again!)

Name the "Magnificent Seven"

Would be more I think - 92 GF team, plus the additional players whose first was the 94 GF.

27?
