Just the two, right? Harvey Harrison and Jakob Ryan?

What the above has proven is just what a perfect masterstroke our list management produced by having all five of those recycled players be good enough to be part of a premiership team ( obviously McStay would have played baring injury ) it’s not often you will see a club bring in five recycled players in one off season, let alone prove to be good enough to ALL play in a premiership their first year at that club. Then add that one of those players was the Norm Smith medallist and that simply rounds out a perfect score for our list management team.

Still on trivia, I’m looking for confirmation on the below because it’s coming second hand.
I have a mate who played golf the other day with a former Collingwood player who claimed he was the player to kick the last goal in the last ever AFL game at Vic Park in 1999.
Any takers ??

I remember being there and it was a grim day against Brisbane! Without looking I couldn't say, I just remember Rocca kicking a few and knowing Brown's career was probably done.

Shouldn't be too hard to narrow down to whoever was on the list and actually getting a game towards the end of the Tony Shaw era (and resist my urge to look at AFL Tables!). As a random guess, let's say Stephen Patterson.

Very good Lazza !
My mate was golfing with Scott Crow and Crow declared that’s his only claim to fame as an AFL footballer. I can only go by what I was told but it was his last season at Collingwood and he did play mainly between the arcs after he arrived from Hawthorn.

Does tell us the Pies goalkickers were
A. Rocca 3, Burns 2, Tarrant 1, Brown 1, Scott Crow 1.


Guess who kicked 4 goals for Brissy!! :?:

(Besides Alastair Lynch...)

Hint: Might make ya :lol: ...
