Freo trivia thread

[sabre_ac]

With the success of the "CountDown" thread and the trivia thrown around there I thought this may work well.

Ill start it off by posting the first question, the first person to get it right then posts the next question and so on etc.

Which freo player(s) have received a rising star nomination only to be later delisted by freo:

 

[rgauci]

Dion Woods is one.

 

[pinkus maximus]

Luke Toia?
Clem Michael?

 

[sabre_ac]

On all boards I'll give a BFSC membership to each of the people to get the first correct answer on each of the first three questions.

So far no one has got all players correct yet

 

[Kapow!!!]

So far no one has got all players correct yet

Where did he say that?

 

[Kapow!!!]

Anways onto the question. Is it delisted or delisted and traded? My answers for straight up delisted: Greg Harding & Dion Woods are the only ones that I can think of at the top of my head. I know Clem Michael didn't get one. Luke Toia retired, not delisted. All the rest I can think of were traded.

That Head character has had a freehold on us for the last little while but I'll go for Carey or Doran.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Who is "he"?

Just hazarding at a guess but I'd say my "he" reference would be to Groves where you got that quote from

"He" made that comment on the moderator board

 

[Kapow!!!]

"He" made that comment on the moderator board

Thank you. That's all I wanted to know

 

[ThePope]

Wrong Head - only 14 times, not the guy who took the mark (only 10 times) and isn't Doran either a commentator or the Qld paceman destroying the Warriors. Gavin Dore, on the other hand only crucified us 8 times.

This guy's seen the purple (or the red & white etc) 28 times, 13 times in Perth, 15 times away. We've won 9 times with him, with 2 close wins and 2 close losses (less than a goal).

Seems like no one likes the umps. It's Steve McBurney.

So lets go obscure players.

If you had a BBQ and invited every player who's ever been on our list (senior or rookie, drafted and delisted gameless or 100 game player)... how many players would be there, and who'd be the oldest and youngest there?

 

[ImperialPurple]

I'll have a go...

148 players.

Oldest: Scott Edwards
Youngest: Garrick Ibbotson

 

[masai]

Oldest - umm Ben Allan, Scott Watters, Greg Madigan.

Am I warm?.

McBurney! Of course!

There would be 140-odd blokes at the barbie but not all of them, unfortunately, were players.

 

[ThePope]

No-one's got the old fogey yet (Edwards the oldest mentioned so far, but only 6th on our list), you're all too low on the catering... but well done IP... Gibbo is the youngest.

A hint for the oldest... he'll become the first ex Freo-player to reach the big 4-0 in May this year.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Nettlebeck???
