"There are hundreds and hundreds of players on AFL lists in 2015, but only one is named John. That’d be Port Adelaide’s John Butcher, who was drafted by the Power in 2011 and has played 24 games."
Amazing only one person named John on a list, such a common first name in society
There are many, many Jacks though - I wonder if any of them are really Johns.
Without having any knowledge concerning these particular players, I would doubt any of the Jacks are Johns. Nowadays Jack is given as a name in its own right, usually without any thought of it being linked to John.
The last two of the top of my head that I can remember were the late John McCarthy and John Anthony who played most recently for Fremantle.Yes, it is very much a name in its own right these days. I've even come across it as a middle name.
Not any more.Richmond currently boasts its second-highest percentage since Round 4, 1982 (after R1 2004).
As far as I know the 3 Pearce's (who are from different states) are not related. It would be interesting to know how often that has happened out of all the namesakes (that's not an actual question by the way)! Probably not that often.Alex Pearce making his debut for Fremantle tomorrow night marks the first occasion since R22 2007 (West Coast, Jones) that a team featured three players with the same surname.
Pearce joins 28 other surnames to have three representatives in one team - Bourke, Clarke, Clay, Cloke, Cordner, Cordy, Daniher, Dunbar, Elliott, Johnson, Jones, Leach, McShane, Mills, Morwood, Parker, Rippon, Roberts, Robertson, Robinson, Ryan, Sandford, Scanlan, Scott, Sharp, Shaw, Stewart, Twomey.
