Random Carlton Trivia...

[ferrisb]

My guess is it is not 7 and maybe a mistake someone thinking Kerr's Dad played when think only his Grandad did. ?

Kerr's dad played u19s. So he kinda counts.

In any case, I got an extra grandson to make up for it

 

[footyfan1978]

Ps Kerr's dad played u19s for Carlton. So that kinda counts.

ha ha. I think my brother played for Carlton under 19's too or under 17's. Cannot remember but do not count them.

 

[katmanblue]

I think Liam Jones' dad played for St Kilda. Stumped on the 7th son though.

Levi a very distant relative to a pre-WW1 player.

Marchbank's great uncle (or 2?) played for Carlton.

Pickett related to Leon Davis, Byron Pickett, Nicky Winmar and the Kicketts (still the best name in football!)

I wanna know who the 7th son of the 7 th son is. He's the chosen one.

I thought he was to wield a magical sword or something. Well, according to that good boy, Orson Scott Card, anyway.

Speaking of Abbie, she is counted a marquee player when looking at player sponsorship.

Um. Ok.
