      You're partly right. He's one of seven coaches that coached is to 2 draws.

        Cheers. Jock coached the pies for 37 years. That's nearly a draw every 5 years.

        So Hawthorn '96 must have been before plough took over.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Mocca Dunstan would give you 40 possessions in a game , 30 to the opposition 5 out on the full and 5 points.. My god he could get the ball but the only player you didn't want to. If only it was EJ junior 40 possessions 40 chest marks to KT!
          Bring back the biff

            He used to kick the ball so high it gave time for half the opposition players to gather at the drop. He was the only player I can remember who kicked the ball higher than the light towers at VFL Park.

              Yep.

              By my count, of Johnno's 7 draws, one was under Joyce, and 2 each under Plough, Rhode and Rocket.

                A draw under Rhode was like a win.

                    I can remember taping the replay of a loss against Melbourne by less than 2 goals at VFL Park in 1981 (I think) because it was as close as we were likely to get to a team in those days.
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                      Being a lover of useless trivia, and being already eagerly waiting for the footy to start again, I hereby get the Off-Season trivia going with this effort:

                      Who are the two most-capped Bulldogs in International Rules matches against Ireland?

                      Hint: One of them was pre-1998, when the current incarnation of the IR series was up and running.

                        Brad Johnson
                        More of an In Bruges guy?

                          Incorrect, but very speedy reply and not a bad guess.

                          I've updated the question as I've noticed I made a slight error.

                              I'm not sure which Nafan you're referring to but none of them are correct.
