The ULTIMATE trivia post!!!

[Milan Faletic]

Sorry for forgetting about this thread. I asked the question about the CEO that used to play for St-K. It was Trevor O'Hoy at Fosters. Someone answered correctly about 4 pages ago.

[Sainterone]

HD, my apologies - you can see our posts coincided and somehow I missed yours!!

And what's more - you are correct!!

Come on down (and ask a question).

[HarveysDeciple]

Lol. No worries Sainterone.

Now to try and think of another question.

Pretty sure this might have been asked before, but if it hasn't thats great.

In that game just mentioned. Round 3 of 2004.
What was significant about the first 7 St.Kilda goals of that game.

[Sainterone]

That wasn't the game where they were all kicked left footed was it?
Maybe the G-Train got most of them - he got 5 that game...

[HarveysDeciple]

Yes the first 7 goals were kicked off the left foot, by in order.

Ball, Gehrig, Powell, Gehrig, Powell, Gehrig, Thompson.

[Sainterone]

Funny how useful? information sticks in your brain

The next Q is a Nick Riewoldt question in honour of his milestone game.

In 2004, how many (record) marks did Nick Riewoldt take?

[HarveysDeciple]

256 I think.

Another useless stat that stays in the brain

[Sainterone]

Right on HD - go for it.

[HarveysDeciple]

In the First quarter of the prelim final against Port in 04 we kicked 4 goals 5 to Ports 4 goals straight.

So both teams booted 4 goals for the quarter.

What was the rather damning inside fifty stat for the first quarter? that shows a massive failure to capitalise.

I remember this as another useless stat lol.

[Sainterone]

A guess - 20 to 5?

[saintcat]

I'll pose the next Q (waiting on saintcat to agree whether Gram to Roberts is OK).

Sorry for being slow answering - very busy week.
It wasn't the one I was thinking of but that's the thing with 6 degrees... , so long as you can make the connections, then you are right!

[HarveysDeciple]

sorry mate. was 19 to 6. there in lies the story of the game.

We didnt capitalise and we lost sadly.

Your go.

[Sainterone]

OK - here's a Lenny Hayes tribute question...

A guy who ticked over the 3000 disposal mark in his 149th game (thereby averaging 20+ disposals per game), Lendog is known for his fierce tackling.

Lenny had a career high 13 tackles v wet toast in R9 2004 when we won by 101 points.

The Q - What is the Lendogs next best tackle count and against which team when?

[riccardo]

Bump.

Lets forget our troubles and get back to our most successful post.

Willing to pose a question if needs be.

[Oh When the Saints]

In the Qualifying Final v Adelaide last year, Lenny had 12 tackles ...

He also had 10 v the Cats Rnd. 7 this year ...

[Sainterone]

Good enough OWTS,

Yes Lenny had 12 tackles in 2 games - both finals I think.

Well done. Your turn.

[Oh When the Saints]

We had one famous 'Jones' play over 200 games for the Saints; he retired at the end of last season.

The question is: name the other Jones who has played for the Saints since Stan Alves became coach (so the last 14 years), the number he wore and how many games he played.

[corr blimey]

Sam Jones?
38?
3 games?

I think Bob Jones was before Alves' time.

[Oh When the Saints]

Yes, well done. That was short lived

Sam Jones played 3 games for the Saints wearing #38 in 1994. You can view an article on him:

Don't remember him but was obviously touted as being okay ....

Your turn corr blimey

[corr blimey]

On the same theme, who was the last Smith to play for the Saints before Joel and the last Brown to play before Tony.

[saint66au]

The Smith was a bald dude who we got from Footscray in the 80's..whos name escapes me

Brown..Hmmm..need to think about that one

[corr blimey]

He came from South Australia but I can see why you might associate him with Footscray.

[saint66au]

and the Brown..Glenn Brown?

[corr blimey]

When I wrote the question I was thinking of Terry Smith from Richmond and Peter Brown from Carlton (both premiership players?).

But as you pointed out Rohan Smith played with us. He was bald but not from Footscray.

Glenn Brown (1982 - 85) did play after Peter Brown (1981 -82) but there was another Peter Brown who played 5 games in 1985-86. Ginger hair from memory. Maybe number 59?

Anyhow a good second effort deserves some reward. Your go.

[saint66au]

There has been some talk of the re-introduction of a mid-season draft..

With that time of year approaching..who was St Kildas most successful mid-season draftee ? (ie played the most games for the Club)
