I know I will regret this- but heard part of the answer when I found out about Gram and Lyon so will make an assumption

Both got 3 Brownlow votes in their final games
Lyon got more brownlow votes for Brisbane than the games he played 2

Oh When the Saints · Sun 26 Aug 2007 7:59pm

Basically correct saintbrat.

Ross Lyon and Michael Voss both received Brownlow votes in the final matches of their career.

my les foote · Sun 26 Aug 2007 8:17pm

Why was it his last game?

Round 2 and he scores 1? Brownlow vote. And he never plays AFL again.

bump

Enrico_Misso · Fri 05 Oct 2007 5:36pm

Big bump.

Saintbrat - I think we need some help !

Mods - can we please sticky this thread or move it somewhere?
It is the all time most popular thread but becomes hard to find after a tough question or a period of turmoil.

Saintbrat, PLEASE can you invoke the mercy rule.

saintbrat · Post: # 473755Post **saintbrat** » Fri 12 Oct 2007 9:23am

the three post 66
Trott S
Hunt R
Discher D

4 of the 5 are ( the other escapes my memory and cheat sheet is at home.)

Jeans A
Annand B
Snell S
Perkins
?
as stated there may have been more but these were listed in the heritage museum newsletter in a team of AFL players who were also men in blue.

Enrico - this is why this trivia post has semi retired- most questions alredy asked and the vaguer people get the harder it gets- BUt it does give insight to sainters past.
