I'm pretty sure it was 4 for Fitzroy and 2 for the Bears.

Chris Scott and Matthew Clarke were the Bears IIRQ.

Yes - I looked it up and I'm pretty sure he got the 6 names from FootyWire - it's just got the team moniker there so it says "Lions" for both Brisbane and Fitzroy players (software is unable to distinguish between Brisbane Bears and Brisbane Lions I guess).

But yep - Scott and Clarke never played for Fitzroy, they were at Brisbane at the time.

    I think Carlise was another highly rated tall who went to Essendon in the mid 20's (a guess) but I heard on the radio a bomber voice saying how pleased they were with the way he was coming on at CHF.

    A bigger question was the year we took Maric at 22 when we were crying out for talls and Roughhead went to the doggies early 30's

    You're getting your drafts mixed up there - Maric was taken at 21 in the 2007 draft; Roughead went at 31 to the Dogs in the 2008 draft.

    Gys is definitely looking the goods, will be good to see where he settles in the side!

    Ahh. Cheers for that.

    I know Essendon had 5 in 1993....Hird, Fletcher, Mercuri, Misiti, Olarenshaw....this would have to be close to the record.

    That's the record.

    I found a web page last week when I was thinking about this that claimed their 5 was the record, followed by a couple of teams who did 4 in one season. 3 in one season has been done many, many times... So if we can get a couple more we'll distinguish ourselves.

    McKenzie definitely deserves one already. And you'd think Watts if he plays 12 more will have at least one big day... you'd hope. Past that I'm not sure we've got anyone who's likely.

    Let's not let the facts get in the way of some good old-fashioned 20/20 hindsight club questioning.

    Tapscott is about 3 weeks away... that gives him plenty of time to break into the seniors.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
