Giansiracusa or Rohan Smith?

I'm assuming Turtle misses out on disposals

Both miss. Gia on disposals, Smith just under on both. Grant is also under on disposals.

Geoff Jennings, David Thorpe

Jennings was incredibly close. He met the disposals measure, but kicked 136 goals in 137 games. Thorpe met the disposals easily but didn't kick enough goals to make the list.

Thorpe from memory also went to Richmond, which I had forgotten. Jennings was a brilliant player, captain for three years, Vic Rep, but had lots of injuries. One of my favourites in the late 70s, early 80s.

Edit, just looked up this old thread

Ray Huppatz lots of disposals, but can't remember goals.

Re: Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

Great get BAD. Huppatz only came to us as a 25 year old, but he was a good player. Kicked 95 goals in 85 games and averaged 20.5 possessions a game.

And wore #7 before Doug Hawkins.

Re: Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

There are 2 left to get, both tough so I'll give some clues. One was a 60s player for whom the stats only reflect the latter part of his career, the other a little remembered 80s player who came to us far later than he should have.

Re: Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

Are they all long termers PP? Because II reckon Kevin Sait would have kicked more than a goal a game and got 20 touches but he only played 15 or so games.

You got it TD. All players were included. Sait was something of a tragedy, a brilliant natural but undersized footballer (think Caleb Daniel) he kicked 18.23 in his 13 games and averaged 21.2 possessions per game, despite playing in a crap team (he played in 1 win, 12 losses).

Loved Saity at Yarraville. He came there from Charlton and played 4 or 5 years before going to Footscray and then linking up with Mark fotheringham again (after playing at Yarraville together) at Williamstown. Sait kicked it down fothers throat and fothers would kick a ton year after year.
