[hungry1]

Answer to number 1 I believe is Des Ryan but can't remember his number - maybe 27??

 

[The Boss]

Shawry got question 2 correct, well done

Flea got question 1 correct, but has given the wrong number. What numbers did Delicate Des wear at Richmond (he wore 2 during his career)?

 

[mightytiges]

Des wore number 32.

 

[The Boss]

Correct MT, but what was his original number?

 

[mightytiges]

4. Was it Simon Clarke who went on to play with Springvale?

 

[The Boss]

MT - The answer to question 4 is not Simon Clarke.
This player's brother is a current AFL player.

i'll have a crack

Q3 53

Q4 John Manton No.11

Q5 Michael Thomson No.15

 

[The Boss]

The Glove 3:

Question 3 is correct, Lambert's original number was 53

Question 4 incorrect - not John Manton

Question 5 - Correct Michael Thompson (husband of radio presenter Brigitte Duclos) was made the scapegoat after our 141 pt flogging to North.

2 questions remained unanswered:

Ques 1 - The number worn by Des Ryan on debut against Sydney (he then went on to wear 32)

Ques 4 - which current AFL player's brother played on Gary Ablett when he kicked 14 goals in the late 80s?

 

[Dean3]

Q4 - Justin Crawford??

 

[The Boss]

No, not Justin Crawford, (he played for Sydney and Hawthorn).

 

[tigerman]

Q-4. Would it be Sean Bowden.

CARN THE TIGES!!!!

 

[The Boss]

Good try Tigerman but it was not Sean Bowden

 

[tigerman]

Boss is the game a home and away game or a pre season game?
The only other player I can think of is Jay Burton, but I'm not aware of him actually playing a senior game.

CARN THE TIGES!!!!

 

[Dean3]

Michael Pickering?

 

[The Boss]

Tigerman - it was definately a home and away game in the late 80s where Ablett destroyed us and kicked 14.
It was not Jay Burton (you're right he didn't play senior footy)

Dean 3 it was not Michael Pickering.

From memory this player was also captain of under 19s and his brother is still playing AFL for a Victorian club.

 

[Dean3]

Wiggins? Forgotten his first name..Patrick?

 

[The Boss]

Dean 3 - I don't recall any Wiggins playing for us in the late 80s. There is a Patrick Wiggins playing for the Bulldogs at the moment however.
Perhaps you are thinking of Stuart Wigney who played for us in the mid 90s - no, it's not him!!

Another clue - this players brother currently plays for a Victorian CLub that is located in close proximity to Richmond. He was originally from Scoresby and Vermont Football clubs.

 

[Tigerblood]

How about one of these? -

Tim Livingston, brother of current Carlton player Luke?

Robert Walker, brother of current Collingwood player Tristen?

Tim Powell, brother of current St Kilda player Stephen?

Michael Mitchell, brother of current Hawthorn player Sam?

My guess is it's Mitchell - these guys are dead-ringers for each other.
