Six Degrees of Separation - Player Connections game

[Danger in Texas]

Thorold Merrett to Ariel Steinberg

This would almost work in six if Simon Madden and Dustin Fletcher overlapped by one year (Madden retired the year before Fletcher did)

Something like Merrett > Kevin Rose > Des Tuddenham > Simon Madden > Dustin Fletcher > Steinberg

There could be another way, though

Yeah, the fact Fletcher and Madden didn't play together means it can't be done in six. Just put Tim Watson between Madden and Fletcher.

Time to bump this.

Josh Gibcus to Errol Gulden please.

Josh Gibcus to Errol Gulden please.

Gibcus > Prestia (Lynch also works here) > Bock > Sloane (Walker) > Dawson > Gulden.

 

[RUNVS]

Gibcus > Prestia (Lynch also works here) > Bock > Sloane (Walker) > Dawson > Gulden.

So what you are saying is Gibcus and Gulden are clearly best friends.

 

[BigPond101]

Has it been done where someone has worked out the shortest number of steps from 1897 or whenever the league started to now ?

Can those three be done in six total?

Similar era should be easy
Dustin Fletcher --> Adam McPhee --> Adrian Fletcher
Adrian Fletcher--> Brendon Fewster --> Chad Fletcher
Chad Fletcher --> Scott Cummings --> Dustin Fletcher

Warwick Capper --> Dan Gorringe

Yeah I figured, but it makes a change from the (insert player from the 19th century) to (insert latest draft pick) combinations.

How about Xavier Ellis to Xavier O'Halloran to Xavier Duursma?

 

[Forward Press]

Or assuming we draft Willem...

Zane to Xavier to Willem Duursma (apologies to Yasmin).

Chad —> Prior —> Dusty.

 

[mfcrox]

It has probably been done... but what is the furthest we can go back using six players from the modern day? This is what I've got. Any further?

> Tim Watson > Ken Fletcher > Jack Clarke > Dick Reynolds

Present day back to 1933... although one small asterisk (Clarke retired Round 2, 1967; Fletcher debuted Round 3, 1967).

And Wispy didn’t play in 1992.

Paul Johnson (WCE, MELB, HAW) to Zak Johnson please.

Watson played games with Fletcher in 1993 and 1994

The harder challenge may be to use a player other than Todd Goldstein and someone not from Hawthorn as the Paul Johnson first link.
