****The new super, dooper Hawk quiz - Premiership years only****

[TAITA]

A couple of years ago a poster, whom I know better than anyone in this world, started a mega thread based on Hawthorn trivia.

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showth...ghlight=trivia

He didn't know what he was starting because the thread went seriously viral and taught a few a lot about the footy club, whilst also exposing some serious Hawthorn tragics.

Great thread, but if it had one thing that held it back from the masses, it was that it concentrated on Hawthorn's entire history and as we all tried to out-do each other, it excluded many younger posters who did not have access to great references or a long Hawthorn family connection.

So, with an entire summer in front of us, how about we have a crack again but with the criteria of only on the premiership years?

I'd like to see posters asking questions that you cannot answer by Google, the little insights that are generally not known.

However, it's your thread so let's just see how it develops hey?

You know the drill - ask a question, answer a question, ask a question.

Mugs away.

Pretty sure it was Fitzroy down here at North Hobart.

No idea about the goals, Dunstall and some one random like Platten or Pritchard as a guess.
