New: Who Am I Series!

SWANS Who Am I Questions...

Basically it works like this.

You have a go at guessing, if you are right (must get confirmation from the person who posted the question before proceeding), then its your turn to pose a question and so on.


I will get the ball rolling. This will probably be a fairly easy one for any big Swannies fan...

WHO AM I ?

I was a spectacular player that could play at either end of the ground (CHB/CHF).
I smoked a lot and had a nickname to show this ..
I am a former winner of the Herald award.
I am in the AFL Hall of Fame.


I am ... ?


Possibly an easy one

Your turn now!

 

[HighReeve]

Okay this one is much harder that yours oh moderater.

I was a tough defender who played about 90 matches for our great club, I was suspended for eight matches in the bloodbath grand final.

Who am I?

Don Grossman.

Who am I?

I am not actually a player, but a supporter. I am much more famous for other services to the nation, but I played a part in bringing an end to hostilities between the pro and anti-Sydney camps in 1981.

I will probably be the first person to get a question wrong but....Bill Collins

Correct

 

[Its All Goodes]

ok..in that case...who am I?

I was once a high flying goalkicker who wore the No 10 with the red and white when they were south melbourne, but I am not who you think I am...although I was often pictorially compared with him

 

[CharlieG]

I was actually thinking of Bob Hawke, but I guess Bill Collins is payable with the information I gave... sigh...

John Roberts?

 

[Its All Goodes]

correct

 

[Benevolent Ert]

Must be my turn then!!!

I played 9 games for the Swans in the early 80's
I later went on to a spectacularly unsuccessful coaching stint at another club with a paltry winning % of 36.4% - Ironically against the Swans I had an outstanding 5-1 win/loss record - the only loss coming my final year

Gerard Neesham.

You don't muck around do you Charlie?

Spot on

 

[CharlieG]

Who am I?

My career was much shorter than most would have expected, and you could say that going by expectations I was a massive underachiever. In fact, the most famous thing I ever did was bring down the old clearance rules in the VFL. My brothers did not play for the club.

Ert - I hadn't even looked at when you'd posted that!

 

[Its All Goodes]

Hi Ho.....Silvio Foschini

 

[CharlieG]

yep

 

[Its All Goodes]

ok...who am I?

i was once a leading goalkicker and a best and fairest...and a member of a football family dynasty



and a second non-swans who am i...that I heard on melbourne radio this morning

michael tuck was reported for striking only once...and the player he struck went on to captain victoria....who was the player he hit?

 

[HighReeve]

I'm going to be wrong but I do believe there have been more than one player who has been the best a fairest and topped the goalkicking- regardless I'm going to have a stab , Tony Morwood?

 

[Its All Goodes]

not the player I am thinking of...the clue is that the dynasty may not necessarily be at the swans...and it is generational rather than brothers

this really is a question for melbourne supporters

 

[HighReeve]

Oh

 

[EssJayW]

Is it a Johnson????

One of the Bobs from Melbourne and more importantly Port Melbourne fame.

 

[Its All Goodes]

its not a johnson...but youre on the right path thinking about port melbourne

so its a swans best and fairest...and leading goalkicker...who is a member of a port melbourne dynasty

 

[Fishfinger]

Port Melbourne dynasty = Goss. Norm Jr played for Hawthorn. Was it Paul?
