Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

[LostDoggy]

Bit of a lull in our season now before NAB Cup 1, so thought I'd chuck up a Trivia thread. Here's the question:

Since stats were first kept in 1965, 13 Bulldogs have racked up 40+ possessions in a single game. How many can you name?

Hints: 2 are currently on our list, 2 were on our list until the last few years, 2 mainly played in the 90s, 4 mainly in the 80s and 2 mainly in the 70s and 1 60s/70s.

Here are some names that might be in the mix

Matthew Boyd, Brian Lake, Jackson Macrae, Scott West, Ian Dunstan, Simon Atkins, Ryan Griffen and Adam Cooney

I'll put my thinking cap on for some others.

M Boyd and J Macrae first come to my mind as the 2 current players.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

M. Boyd, T. Liberatore, R. Griffen, S. West, D. Cross, T. Liberatore, S. Wallis, B. Royal, D. Hawkins, A. Stoneham, G. Bissett?

M. Boyd, T. Liberatore, R. Griffen, S. West, D. Cross, T. Liberatore, S. Wallis, B. Royal, D. Hawkins, A. Stoneham, G. Bissett?

I reckon I've missed Stoneham and I would probably add Featherby as a possibility.

Do hit outs count? Perhaps Dempsey?

Peter Featherby? David Thorpe?

Wow. Great first response. 7 out of 8.

Only miss was Cooney - his best ever for us was 37.

Spot on.

Peter Featherby? David Thorpe?

Yep Thorpe could rack up the possessions.

[LostDoggy]

M. Boyd, T. Liberatore, R. Griffen, S. West, D. Cross, T. Liberatore, S. Wallis, B. Royal, D. Hawkins, A. Stoneham, G. Bissett?

Of those, Hawkins is the only correct new name - 5 to get.

[Eastdog]

Griffen, Cross as the next 2 who were on our list a few years ago.

[LostDoggy]

I reckon I've missed Stoneham and I would probably add Featherby as a possibility.

Do hit outs count? Perhaps Dempsey?

Stoneham no, Featherby yes. Dempsey no - hit outs don't count (only kicks and handballs).

9 down 4 to go.

[GVGjr]

I remember challenging the merits of the 41 possession Lake performance. Hardly had an opponent and he just kept chipping it sideways after he received it from someone else. I think it was against Richmond.

I didn't have him in my best players on the day.

[LostDoggy]

Peter Featherby? David Thorpe?

Both correct. Thorpe was a gun, racked it up 3 times.

10 down.

PP, long shot but did Brad Johnson have a huge day out?
