I think that's the different one. Looks like it is published by the Herald-Sun.

I'm pretty sure the one Nobby is using is "Flying Higher," which was published by the club.

Do you know how long it takes to deliver? thanks for the help.

The little Herald Sun AFL book is one of the books i use.Its got every player ever played for the EFC with a little blurb about the player included with most names. You can get em from book stores and newsagents as well.

The Flying Higher book last came out in 96' so it would be hard to get a copy now..except maybe ebay book section?.

This new one thats coming out ...i've only seen a breif mention of it in the Bomber magzine year book in Dec. Not much word since about it. The ad said to reserve a copy on the Bomberland site,but I can't locate it anywhere..??

Essendon player from the 90s and 00's

After I played at EFC I then went to one of Ron's old clubs

A clue can be found to my surname by thinking of Angelina Jolie and the band Faith No More

I have a connection to Jezza in a way

And a guitarist from an early 90's rock band!

Gary Moorcroft.

 

[Mero]

Gary Moorcroft.

That would be my guess as well.

Lara CROFT - Angeline Jolie
Barassi's Melbourne
Jezza - Former best mark ever, until replaced by Gary Moorcroft.
Faith No More - MOORcroft

 

[Shane Hird]

Gary Moorcroft.

Correct

 

[Shane Hird]

See if anyone else can come up with a tricky cyptic one like the Moorcroft question?????

I want a go at guessing one myself

They are easy to make up

 

[Mero]

OK. How about this.

It's not Ken, Simon or Wally
And neither is it Harvey, Johnson or Thompson.

But it's someone from the 1980 to 2007 era, who shared a name with all of them.
So let the game begin.

 

[Longy413]

Bloody umpires!!!

A really wild guess Dean Wallis

 

[Mero]

No, Longy was closer.

more clues please....... this question is straining my brain

 

[Longy413]

No, Longy was closer.

Closer?

So it's not Mark Fraser?

 

[Shane Hird]

Darren Goldspink?

 

[mercs]

Closer?

So it's not Mark Fraser?

I reackon your on the money with this one

Ken Fraser
Mark Thompson
Mark Harvey
Mark Johnston

clue with the extra umpire, not sure were the Simon and Wally part comes in

(I also used them because people would be thinking Madden and Wallis)

Simon & Wally Fraser played for us as well.

Therefore Mark Fraser was correct.

"Bloody Umpires" wasn't quite specific enough to be counted as correct.

 

[Mero]

Next questions.

How many players with the first name Craig have played for Essendon?
Who are they?

PS There's not many.


How many players with the first name Dean have played for Essendon?
Who are they?

PS Only a few more than the Craigs

 

[Squeaky]

Only 2 Craigs? - O'Brien which I thought of & Barbary which I looked up.
Only 4 Deans? - 3 Recent (Wally, Solly & Rioli) and Hartigan.

"Bloody Umpires" wasn't quite specific enough to be counted as correct.

I knew it straight away but thought I'd give someone else the chance to have a crack.

 

[Mero]

Only 4 Deans? - 3 Recent (Wally, Solly & Rioli) and Hartigan.

There's another Dean.
And he's still involved in AFL circles.

Craig is correct, though, there have only been 2 to play for us.
