Name the Player

[Roger Mellie 4,146]

Who am I Demonlanders?

Quiz rules:

PM me the names of all players (plus the odd guess) in one hit rather than one or two players at a time. Please don't blurt out names or guesses at this stage. When punters are getting most of them right I'll start naming them (or if no one's interested or having any luck). I've tried to put a couple of easier ones in. Thanks to Demonwiki / Supermercado for some of the pics.  The winner will be the champion of the universe. Second and third slightly less so. Good luck!

I don't quite know how to say this, but he also seems to have his teeth misaligned with the rest of his face.

One of the most decorated Tasmanian footballers of the past 50 years, Graham ‘Moose’ Hunnibell won almost every award and accolade there was to win in a stellar 16-season career in which he was widely regarded as the premier ruckman in the state.

Born in January 1955, Graham Hunnibell’s senior career began with North Launceston in 1974 at the age of 19. Already a well-proportioned young lad, the young big man impressed right off the bat, gaining NTFA representative honours in his first season and playing in North Launceston’s 1975 premiership in his second. In 1977 he took out the first of what was to be many Best and Fairest awards, and by the end of that season the VFL was circling. It would be Melbourne that landed the young ruckman’s signature, and Hunnibell lined up for his debut for the Demons in Round 7, 1978. Alas, despite Melbourne winning just 16 of their 66 games from 1978-80 Hunnibell was never able to significantly break into the senior team, managing just 12 games in three years. Despite his lack of senior VFL exposure, Hunnibell was still an automatic selection when it came to picking the Tasmanian side for the State of Origin carnival in Perth in 1979. After only two senior appearances for Melbourne in 1980, Hunnibell returned to Tasmania at season’s end, but not before he had taken out Melbourne’s reserves Best and Fairest award – a sign of things to come.

Upon his return to Tasmania Hunnibell ran out for original club North Launceston. His first season back was one to remember, as the 25-year old played in a second Robins premiership, took out his second Best and Fairest award and was runner-up to East Launceston’s Paul Reinmuth in the Hec Smith Medal count. At the end of 1981, Hunnibell was on the move again, heading south to take up a lucrative offer with TANFL side New Norfolk. In his first season he proved to have the Midas Touch once again, taking out New Norfolk’s club champion award, playing a vital role in the Eagles drought-breaking premiership win and sharing (with Sandy Bay’s Tony Martyn) the Lefroy Medal as his state’s best representative player. In 1984 Hunnibell was appointed captain-coach of New Norfolk, leading the club to consecutive finals appearances and winning back-to-back club Best and Fairest awards. After four seasons at Boyer – the last of which saw him dominate the competition to win the William Leitch Medal as TANFL Best and Fairest – Hunnibell made the final move of his career, joining Clarence as captain-coach. This time he only spent one season holding the reigns but spent the following five years plying his trade as effectively and brilliantly as he had since his teenage years. He retired at the end of the 1991 season, but not before taking out yet another Best and Fairest award in 1989 – his seventh in 18 seasons. With this he achieved the phenomenal distinction of winning a Best and Fairest award at every major Tasmanian club.

Hunnibell’s impact on Tasmanian football was enormous, and it therefore came as no surprise when he was named in both North Launceston and New Norfolk’s Greatest Teams in 1999 and 2001 respectively.

You were honorably 4th - Champion of Victoria. I could disqualify Tough Kent for blurting though. That would make you third 🏆🏆🏆

Geez what a career. Unlucky to go to Melbourne when we had Garry Baker & Carl Ditterich.
