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

[Roger Rogerson]

Would it be Andrew Collins?

40 in 1988 and took over number 4 in 1989

That is a great get Rusty.

 

[The BIG X]

Parko was on the list in 1961, and did wear 33, but he played only 1 senior game, and that was the final minor round game against Richmond.

Parko was sort of our Crawf in 1971. Just missed the flag in 61, served the club with tremendous distinction for 10 years, and thoroughly deserved his flag in 1971.

Reg Poole played in the Back Pocket in 1961 GF - he nudged out Roy Simmons from that position during the year and Roy could not get his spot back.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yes, Roy talked about this on one of our dvds. Apparently he went 10 pin bowling before practice and sustained an injury, then couldn't get his spot back after 192 games in 12 seasons.

 

[RustyHawk]

Ok, who am I?

Hawthorn Premiership player.

But due to lack of opportunity, lack of desire, whatever the reason, I cross to another club that plays in the finals the same year Hawthorn does but my new team does not meet Hawthorn in those finals.

To do this I did something (quite legal in those days) but not legal today....

Who am I?*

There maybe others but Im thinking 1 particular player.

More clues if needed.

 

[market]

Is it Russell Morris? Prem player in 86.

Crossed to the Saints in 1991, where he played with them in the classic 91 finals game against the Cats (3rd v 4th) and they lost by 7 points and were eliminated first week...(I think we may have won the lot that year)

In terms of what he did? - need some more help on that bit....

 

[RustyHawk]

Russell wasnt the player Im thinking of but I will check it out.

Edit: no doesnt qualify for what I was thinking which is the 2nd part, see below.

The thing that he was legally able to do then and not know is a AFL law or rule.

 

[The BIG X]

Yes, Roy talked about this on one of our dvds. Apparently he went 10 pin bowling before practice and sustained an injury, then couldn't get his spot back after 192 games in 12 seasons.

Little more trivia

Roy was the Manager of Hawthorn Bowl (10 pin bowling) for quite a few years

 

[The BIG X]

to Rusty

Russell Greene

Edit
Re read it Greene came to Hawthorn

 

[RustyHawk]

Bruce, not the player I was thinking of. Nothing to do with the Saints.

But you are definately on the right track. That "change" of club but we didnt win the Grand Final the year Russell Greene moved across. In fact it went the other way, Hawthorn Premiership player left us that year, the year we won a Grand Final. His new team played in the finals but obviously didnt win the big one.

 

[The BIG X]

Was it the 80's???

 

[RustyHawk]

Was it the 80's?????? hmmmmmm

The year we learned about
Ananda Marga
Milk was spilt in San Francisco
The Cardinal of Rome, they come they go.

 

[The BIG X]

Was it Kevin Heath who defected to Cartank??

Never forgave him

 

[RustyHawk]

Actually he (Kevin Heath) was the inspiration behind the question but no not him. Was looking for a question with him.

 

[The BIG X]

Ananda Marga
Milk was spilt in San Francisco
The Cardinal of Rome, they come they go.

Thats no help whatsoever

So PASS

 

[RustyHawk]

1978

Ananda Marga blow up a rubbish bin in Sydney killing 3.

San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk is gunned down. Apparently there are lots of happy and not so happy people in SF.

and, the year we had 2 popes.

 

[BaliHawk]

was it Kelvin Matthews?

 

[RustyHawk]

was it Kelvin Matthews?

Yes, well done TM.

During season 1978 played 4 games for us up until round 6 then crossed over to Geelong and started in their senior team round 14. Geelong went onto to play in the finals but where eliminated early and the Hawks went onto to win the flag.

 

[BaliHawk]

Thanks Rusty.

Our '61 Premiership Team was unique as it was our first, its also unique as its the last team that won a Premiership of its kind, what might that be?

 

[RustyHawk]

Well it is the first and most likely but not guaranteed the last time a future Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Governor of Victoria played in a Grand Final.

Was it the first time two expansion teams from 1925 played each other in a Grand Final? (Footscray)

 

[The BIG X]

Dr Mc Cleod??? trophy

that would be so but not what i was looking for.

 

[BaliHawk]

Dr Mc Cleod??? trophy

nope, this is the critical part of the question.....last team that won a Premiership of its kind

 

[RustyHawk]

Last premiership of its kind?

Use of the 'Drop kick'

of the 437 kicks recorded that day, 105 were drop kicks to 2 drop punts...?

 

[Brown Blood]

I know there was only 2 drop punts kicked in the entire game which would probably be the last time that would happen in any game and does seem quite remarkable now(but I don't think this would be it).
