How many Collingwood players have won the Simpson medal?

SIMPSON MEDAL

1946 - Lou Richards (Collingwood)

Stan Magro (1975) 1975 - Mel Whinnen (West Perth)
Brad Hardie (1986) 1986 - Mark Zanotti (Subiaco)

These are according to the 'Bible' of Football. So if you can supply me where you got your info, that will be helpful.

The AFL site seems to disagree.

 

[Lonie_from_50]

The AFL site seems to disagree.

On that link, the Lou Richards year doesn't count, so how do you know that Lou Richard's won one. I am not complaining about getting the question wrong, just that there are different winners for the same medal

 

[Lensen]

I didn't, I guessed my answer.

Just telling you that your publication doesn't match the AFL site.

Carlton will win the spoon!

"AFL 2005, the official statistical history of the AFL" says the following ...

"Simpson Medal = Awarded to the best player in the WAFL Grand Final, and occasionally to an outstanding performer in an exhibition match"

Some interesting winners are .....

1946 = Lou Richards (exhibition match between East Fremantle & Collingwood.
1981 = Gary Shaw, Claremont.
1985 Brian Taylor, Subiaco. (Obviously, not "the barge" as he was on the Collingwood senior list that year.

It would seem that the answer is "One" as Lou Lou would be the only one to win the medal while actually playing for the magpies.

How many VFL finals have been played at Victoria Park?

i'll say 3, but LF50 is probably already right at 2

 

[Benny_]

2 VFL finals have been played at Victoria Park

 

[Leg_Spinning_Sensation]

4 VFL finals at Vic park

 

[bradrowe#32]

Correct answer is 2.

Sorry guys, I seem to be dropping the ball on this one. I'm pretty flat out at the moment, which is why I haven't asked a question for a while (and more importantly, do some thorough research on the questions!).

Someone can feel free to take over.
