Correct.

One more to go - A player from the 80's/90's - when I saw the list I was surprised he was on it.

Re: Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

Correct Mofra.. Steve Wallis averaged 18.6 in 1985.

David Thorpe averaged above 18 for 5 consecutive years from 1969- 1973:

23.0, 18.6, 26.2, 20.8 and 22 - Without checking you would have to think that his 1971 ave. of 26 would be almost the highest ever recorded.

Who's next?

edit: I had some spare time so I went through all of the teams lists, Thorpe ranks 4th all time behind KB (2 years of 27.6) and Wayne Richardson 27.

KB has 12 entries above 20 per year - Obviously earnt his nickname.

Well KB wasn't known to handball and in fact has claimed "he did once, but never made that mistake again".

There was a guy in our local club (more than 40 yrs ago), who I still refer to as KB's handball coach because he never made the mistake ever.

Re: Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

Those are amazing stats for KB. I remember him from his latter days when he was a specialist forward who would kick a couple from 10 touches. Obviously back in the day he was much more of an accumulator.

My memory was that he would get the odd handball - out in front of himself just before he was tackled in order to win a free. I vaguely remember the umpires being instructed to reinterpret the rules in order to stop him doing it.

I think they had to change the rule because KB had an answer beit handballing, bouncing the ball or whatever for each reinterpretation so they had to go to all the trouble of enshrining all the different things a player can't do.

My answer is round one 1955, Collingwood, win.

Re: Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

You've got opponent and round correct but you're miles off on the year.

Re: Trivia Time: Useless Dogs Stats Quiz

For the record, you're thinking along the right lines.

It just so happened we met Collingwood in round 1 1955, but at Vic Park.

I knew we played them and we won in a cantor and Charlie Sutton said it was the worst thing that could happen. Couldn't remember where it was. They all grew big boof heads.

Way off on the year huh? OK say 20 years then and I will go sub 1955 because they wouldn't have been able to fit 50000 in 1975.

1934.
