Yes you are right on Howard with the Hawks. He was talking on the radio about when he was young he looked up to the Chief.

Probably should add Kath Loughnan to your list too. She is a Freo supporter.

Got a reference, @spook? I had good info (found online) that he was a Dee (when pushed for an answer)
He played for Footscray and is a parochial Sandgroper.

I am definite about Lonergan because I went to uni with him. Definite on Edwards because she talks about it all the time. Definite on Twomey, Gleeson Beveridge and Wu and 90% on McGowan.
