    Quiz Time: Pick the Year (Triple play edition)

    What do we do on WOOF when there's no footy to be discussed?

    We invent random quizzes, that's what.

    The rules of this quiz are simple.

    Post three clues to identify a particular football season. One of the clues can be Non-Bulldogs related. The clues must uniquely identify that season.

    I'll start with a nice, easy one. Once we get going be as cryptic as you like as long as there's one correct answer.

    Clue 1: Rohan Smith was our leading goalkicker.
    Clue 2: We recorded wins against all of the eventual top 4.
    Clue 3: A future club captain made his debut.

    I'll go again, bit harder this time.

    Our goalkicking award was a three way tie, not counting finals.
    One of those was a club champion in his first season.
    The ANZUS treaty was signed.

    Very wild. No.

    I'm half expecting Twodogs to get it off the back of the ANZUS clue.

    1) I never played a senior game for the Bulldogs after being drafted
    2) I was a defender
    3) Tomorrow is my 50th birthday

    What year and Who am I?

    Great question. I am thinking your question is an indication that it is a well known footballer that we drafted who never ended up playing for us. First thought was Tom Alvin - but he'd be way over than 50.

    Simon Tregenza fits about the right age, was drafted by us as I understand it - but doesn't fit the 'defender' description.

    Not Alvin or Tregenza.

    I reckon the Doctor would nail this one in about 30 seconds if he was on.

    Just a clue but he's not a well known footballer. Never played for an AFL side. I think he played a few games in the reserves for us and I used to see him at games in the crowd

    Not Shaun

    This is in your wheelhouse.
    Have a look at the clues you can narrow the year down quickly then working out the player is easier

    It's not Stephen Pitt either
