1878 I think?

Correct, your turn

 

[Metallica_Man]

Is there a chance we could get this moved to the Scratching Post?

 

[Hood007]

I'll take a stab at this one and say....
Yes!

Who kicked the ball to Billy Brownless to complete his famous after-the-siren effort against the Bulldogs in 1994?

Mensch?

 

[Geelong2007]

Mensch?

Correct.

 

[Shell]

Correct.

God bless Mencshy (and all the other one kick wonders.. like Clarke and Wills )

Does this mean I have to come up with a question now?

 

[Partridge]

Brad Ottens (Last year) and Gazza over Pert in 94. Are there any others??

Sorry to jump back to an earlier question, but I'm pretty sure Ablett also won mark of the year in 1985, against North Melbourne at Geelong and over Michael Passmore in the goalsquare. It's on the 55 minute bootleg that many of us have.

yeah your turn

Mmmm.. okay. Multiple choice question..

Everyone knows of THAT mark taken by Gary Ablett against Collingwood in 94. But what actually happened afterwards? Did he..

a. Go back and kick a goal like he always did
b. Kick a behind, but went on to win us the game like he always did
c. Kick a behind, but went to the bench and Hocking kicked us the match winning goals
d. Kicked it OOF, like Kent Kingsley always did
e. The umpire being ahead of his time, instead paid a free kick to Pert for IN THE BACK!!!

You may use 50/50, ask the BF audience or phone a friend (if you have any).

I'll give you partial credit Ablett5. It was his mark that saved us the game in the end. Collingwood would have run over the top of us if he hadn't.

 

[Partridge]

Correct!!

Your turn

Ok then, seeing as the theme at the moment if after the siren moments, I'll cast our minds back to 2002 vs Carlton at the Telstra Dome. We all know Peter Riccardi kicked the goal after the siren giving us the win. The question is:

Who was the player, rather maligned for his kicking skills, who delivered a pinpoint pass to Riccardi off his left foot?

I don't know anything! Someone else ask.

Ok then. Before this year, when was the last time that a Geelong side led the competition going into the halfway point of the season?

 

[Metallica_Man]

1992?
