Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
It seems folks love this thread, in its differing formats. If you don't know the rules, I will nominate a player with the question. Whomever is first to guess the player successfully, gets to nominate the next player and so on and so on. However, if you don't log into the thread within 24 hours to confirm/deny nominations, to keep the thread moving anyone can then jump in and start a new player question going.
Suggestions: If the Who Am I needs to be a little vague to keep interest, maybe chuck in a decade or so so we can focus on trying to test our general knowledge.
Does it need to be said?: Please do not use the google machine when guessing. It's an interesting test of general knowledge. But if you want to use records/Google machine to form a question, that's cool.
So, Who Am I?
I was drafted by the Bulldogs in the last 25 years, and I am no longer on our or any AFL list. I was drafted quite highly, but I only played about the same amount of games in number as the number/position I was drafted. As such, there was expectation on me to deliver and rise to these expectations, but after a handful of years, we parted ways.
Who am I?

The shame is we have a few candidates, so I had to put a 25 range on it. There's still a lot.
No, not Luke Penny.

Cool.
Tim Walsh must've been close.

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
I know who it is but I will admit to googling the 2004 season to remember the name. I swear I thought it was Cam Faulkner but had to look up who played at Manuka vs North
Edit : you got it already - wasn’t he meant to be the next Andrew Macleod?

I'm staggered his name didn't up before Cam's. Good work.

Who did you have?

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
Every answer should be Tim Walsh

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
Ok. My first crack at this.
Who Am I:
I played for Footscray in the 80s and my journey to get to the Club at the time was marked in some controversy. I'm an award winning scientist specialising in atomic physics, having completed my thesis in coherence in inelastic electron scattering from sodium.

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
OK, I think I'm up.
I'm a well known player from the 80/90's who was tied to the Dogs at one stage but never played for us.
I am?

Funny story. The club gave him a car as a signing on fee and he drove it straight back to Adelaide the day after his one senior game with us. It's not that funny I guess. More wistful.

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
Gee there's a list of well known players we drafted or picked up from interstate or the country in the 80s and 90s that pretty much laughed at us.
Worse still there were quite a few we recruited that turned up and played, well they were on the field during games anyway.

Re: Who Am I? - 2017 Off Season, Full Version
I played for the bulldogs in the 80's. Prior to the Bulldogs I played with another VFL club but after I finished with them I had a 3 years in another league before arriving at the Western Oval.
I kicked 5 goals on debut but would only play 2 more games.

Russell Shields it is. A lively half forward flanker who previously played at Hawthorn and came to us via Centrals in the SANFL.
His debut for us was against the swans in round 1, 1988. I watched that game with former Swan Craig Potter and we both thought the Dogs had found a star. Only kicked 2 more goals in his other 2 games and disappeared.

How longs he got BT? Did we say 24 hours? Might ne a bit longish. Is it time to confuse things with simultaneous questions? I love simultaneous questions. It's so confusing.
