We once recruited a real poor mans Brownless. His name was Blair Brownless.

Here's another one:

A few weeks ago, when we beat the Swans, the two teams only managed twelve goals for the match, with eleven goalkickers in total (the Swans' Jackson Thurlow was the only player on the ground who managed to get multiple goals). Of those eleven, how many had not kicked a goal all season up until that match?

Swans: James Bell, Sam Wicks, Dylan Stephens, Jackson Thurlow

Pies: Trey Ruscoe, Johnny Noble, Ben Reid

7/11, also 5 were first goals in their career (Bell, Wicks, Stephens, Ruscoe, Noble)

I just noticed the list of Collingwood players who kicked goals in their first game and noticed Ian McOrist's name was not there. Technically this is correct as McOrist had come on as reserve (briefly) the week before his first full game. However in his first full game he kicked six goals from the half forward flank, which I think was a pretty impressive effort.

I played from 2007-2016, kicking three goals in my first match.

That'd be Alan Toovey, one of my all-time favs!

My question is: which four former rookie-listed Magpies played over 100 total games for other AFL clubs?

C'mon David, you can't go editing questions. Tony Barber wouldn't and Barry Jones would of had Bob Dyers guts for garters!

I changed my mind and thought I'd been quick enough to get in there before anyone noticed! Evidently not. :lol:

Mal Michael is the answer to the original question, incidentally! Nice one LH. (He played 177 games for Brisbane and Essendon.) Otherwise, there are still two other 100-gamers to guess...

I'm guessing Harry O would be up there.
