****The new super, dooper Hawk quiz - Premiership years only****

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

AH

A specific answer would give it away.

Let's just say that the answer is consistent with the rules of the thread.

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

Hmmm

Maybe some clues.

In accordance with the rules of the thread, the player in question is a Hawthorn Premiership player. His Grandfather won his Premierships at another VFL club.

The player's premiership team includes four Team of the Century players,none of whom was captain.

The Grandfather and Grandson share the same surname.

I thought that the stats freaks would have identified the player well before this.

Just a guess - John Hendrie

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

No

Don Scott, a Team of the Century selection, was Captain in both of Bomber's Premiership.

 

[Brown Blood]

No

Don Scott, a Team of the Century selection, was Captain in both of Bomber's Premiership.

Oh - I thought you meant captain of the team of the century.

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

Sorry about the confusion

There is only one Premiership side that meets the criterion of four Team of the Century selections and none of whom was Captain of that Premiership side.

 

[Fevola99]

Is Les Beck the grandfather of Ken Beck?
or George Angus of Geoff?

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

I know that half of your question is correct.

So.........

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Is Les Beck the grandfather of Ken Beck?
or George Angus of Geoff?

The latter.

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

So

What is the answer?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

So

What is the answer?

I'll let Fevola 99 answer that

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

Good turn

He was the first to get near it

 

[Fevola99]

I don't want to answer it after all this confusion, I'm just going to play Donkey Kong instead

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

What confusion?

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

To maintain the momentum of this thread it appears that I have to spell out the detail. Adelaide Hawk knows the answer but believing that Fevola99 also knew, ceded the right to Fevola99 to deliver the coup de grace because he was the first to make the connection between George and Geoff Angus.

George Angus, Geoff’s Grandfather played in the 1902, 1903 and 1910 Collingwood Premiership sides. Geoff played in Hawthorn’s 1971 Premiership side, which is our only side to have four Team of the Century players and where the captain of that team (David Parkin) is not a member of the ToC.

As additional information, George was Captain/Coach of the 1910 side and his son played for Collingwood in the 1928 semi final.

Therefore, the answer is
Geoff Angus


I now pass on the baton

 

[The BIG X]

Top question LMoG

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Top question LMoG

It certainly was. I had absolutely no idea until Fevola 99 came up with those 2 players. Great question, it will be hard to top

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I've asked this question before in another thread, but here goes:

Which Hawthorn premiership player's father played Test Cricket?

 

[Brown Blood]

I've asked this question before in another thread, but here goes:

[RustyHawk]

Darren Jarman (just guessing)

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Correct, his father played for South Africa.

 

[Brown Blood]

Which player marked the ball after Gary Buckenera did his knee in the 1983 Grand Final?

 

[Fevola99]

Peter Schwab, who did not make good use of the ball

 

[Brown Blood]

Peter Schwab, who did not make good use of the ball

Correct Fevola99, well done (& schwabby did play a pretty good game).

So, next Q anyone?

 

[The BIG X]

Can I jump in and ask a question and also suggest that we have 2 or 3 questions going the same time - therefore this thread is active ALL the time.

My question

1971 Grand Final team - How many players played 100 games or more for Hawthorn
