Swans trivia

[CharlieG]

It doesn't matter, Liz, it's still your question.

Oh, and Michael Tuck played under John Kennedy, David Parkin, Allan Jeans and Allan Joyce. He must surely be the only player to have actually played in premierships with four different coaches.

 

[Carolyn]

can we make this thread a sticky?

 

[Benevolent Ert]

Yes

Is it my question now?

 

[liz]

Yes

Is it my question now?

Go for it if you'd like. I'm out of ideas at the moment!

 

[Benevolent Ert]

Ok - this one shouldn't be too hard

Who was the last Swans player to play cricket for Australia?

 

[CharlieG]

Laurie Nash played two Tests. I think one of them was during his time with the Swans, but the first of them was earlier. He would be my guess. He's definitely much later than Warwick Armstrong. Did we have any other Test cricketers?

 

[Here It Is]

Ok - this one shouldn't be too hard

Who was the last Swans player to play cricket for Australia?

If I'm not mistaken, Jamie Siddons played one senior match for Sydney in 1984 before playing one day international cricket for Australia in 1988-89.

If I'm not mistaken, Jamie Siddons played one senior match for Sydney in 1984 before playing one day international cricket for Australia in 1988-89.

Siddons only played a pre-season cup game, didn't he? Does that count, Ert?

 

[Benevolent Ert]

Jamie Siddons played 2 senior games for Sydney in 1984 and 1 one day international for Australia in 1988

Therefore Here It Is gets the choccies

No new question?

If no action by about 10 tonight I'll do another one

 

[liz]

I'll do one, since I passed last time it was my turn.

Since Roos became senior coach, eight different Swans players have kicked 4 or more goals in a game at least once (not counting practice or pre-season cup games).

Hall, O'Loughlin and Davis are the obvious three. Who are the other five?

And for a bonus point, one further player kicked four in a game in the 2002 season but before Eade resigned. Who was it?

 

[skipper kelly]

Goodes, O'Keefe, Schneider, Ball, Saddington.

Nicks.

Guesswork.

 

[CharlieG]

Matthew Nicks is the likely candidate for the one who did it under Eade. I think he kicked four against Essendon in 2002? Williams did it against Geelong I think in Schwatta's last game. That was also Lockett's and Eade's last games. So one of them must have done it since.

As to the four others. O'Keefe is one (Geelong 2004). Saddington is another (2004 - Bulldogs?). Goodes has done it at some stage I'm sure. For the last one I'll guess Jude Bolton.

So in summary:
Nicks
Williams
O'Keefe
Saddington
Goodes
J Bolton

saddo kicked 5 in a games vs roos in 04 i think it was at manuka at around round 5..we won by about 50 that day

 

[Bloods]

Saddington
O'Keefe
Nicks
Goodes
Williams

Bonus Point: Schauble?! During his forward stint perhaps?

 

[liz]

Saddington
O'Keefe
Nicks
Goodes
Williams

Bloods has it correct.

Big_Bazza nearly had it but the question mark over Willo and failure to get Schaubs as the pre-Roos player means I have to give it to Bloods.

 

[CharlieG]

Anybody have a question to get this thread going again?

 

[Benevolent Ert]

What number did Brett Kirk wear during his one year stint on the supplementary list in 1996?

 

[CharlieG]

My wild stab in the dark is #41.

 

[evo]

Which highly talented,yet grossly underrated player(and quality BF poster) was unfairly made to play on Paul Roos in a Fitzroy u/19 intraclub try out in 1983?

 

[Benevolent Ert]

My wild stab in the dark is #41.

what's with all the stabbing recently?

Keep stabbing Charles - 41 it ain't - that was actually Benny Mathews' number

 

[dougk]

What number did Brett Kirk wear during his one year stint on the supplementary list in 1996?

How the hell did you think of that one.

Ummm my stab in the dark would be...... ehhh decided between two numbers. I will go with #39. If i get it wrong i think i might no what it is.

Heuskes was #39 in 1996.

#31 could be too obvious, but it's my next guess.

 

[Benevolent Ert]

39: Adam Heuskes
31: Stefan Carey

Keep going!
