Wait. Troy Wilson!

Yeah!!!
If at first you don't succeed, have 5 more guesses and you'll get there!

Did we play Geelong in this game?

Did we play Geelong in this game?

Yep, from memory Steven King knocked Siera out and he did his knee as he fell.

The other club debutants that day were Carroll (had played for Freo), Collica (Hawks), Merenda (Richmond), Prior (Essendon) and Taylor (Hawks).

Suppose I’d better come up with more questions now

4. When West Coast entered the VFL there were 13 other teams. Who’d we take the longest to record a win against?

I'm going to go Hawthorn.

This made me do some research on some past Eagles
Noticed this on a certain site.

Pretty sure we beat them in 1987 at Subi. Was the first time we wore the royal blue guernsey (following a clash against Hawthorn when we played earlier in the year), and it was paired with gold shorts.

Essendon?

Collingwood.

Crap!

I will lock in Footscray because they haven't been picked yet and it might be right.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Sydney?

Sydney, the only team we hadn’t beaten by the end of 1988

Venables for either?

Shane Bond I think used to be one of these before our last GF.. I think youngest?

Liam Ryan was injured for a large stretch of 2018 so I reckon B is him. Probably only played 12 games? If we’re counting Eagles games only, not total AFL games, Steven Armstrong is also surely a chance.

I believe Waters was the youngest on the field in 06, so I’ll go him or Venables for a, but not confident on either.

a) Mitchell White?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Ash McIntosh was only 19 for the 1992 flag, could be him for A.

Correct.

And correct.
