In this article it's stated Arthur Stevens, yet last night, Michael told me it was Arthur Oliver.

    Could someone get the facts right, in the mean time, I'll go with what "Gena" told me.
    According to my research, Arthur Stevens played with the Dogs from 1927-32, made his debut at 28 and played 64 games. Arthur Olliver played from 1935-1950, 272 games and held the games record prior to EJ taking it.

      That is a terrible nickname. Is that the nickname he has or one you made up?

          Could be both, unless he is from Tassie, he would have four Great Grandfathers.

            Hillier never mentioned Arthur Oliver at all, he said Stevens. It is Arthur Stevens, its only you that thinks its Oliver.

              Nice work AP. Hutchy like snooping.

              I'm not a prude, there's just something distasteful about it. Anyway, as you were.

                No need to denigrate us Tasmanians.

                We actually have 2 grandfathers and 4 great grandfathers

                  Sorry BJ, it was only meant in jest and you know I typed in three other states and it didn't look right.
