Cripes mate, were Western Reds ever known as the Perth Reds?

lol, just kidding, top effort mate, i do believe you have covered them all

Easts/Roosters and Bulldogs/Canterbury are technically the same club, just with a different name

Anyways, well done mate, over to you, 32 clubs in total! (is that a thing to be proud of?) lol

I'm not sure if an AFL question has been asked as yet (do you blame me for not searching?), but I've had one handed to me by a good buddy from south of the border.
<u>Question:</u> Cat's Gary Ablett took a screamer and official"Mark of the Year" in A) What season? - and B) Name the player he climbed all over to accomplish it?
Can't hang aroundfor too long (only a few minutes)but will check in later this arvo.

Mate, I'm almost positive the year it happened was the mid to late eighties era (I'll guess 1987) but buggered if I can remember the player he jumped on to take the mark. I remember the mark very clearly though. A beauty!
Is the year correct?
Good question mate.

 

[Cronulla_Mania]

I remember it on all the AFL replays. Im pretty sure it was at Shell Stadium, im going to say it was 1989 (they were pretty good then, right?). Player he climbed over...hmmm, something says to methat they were playingEssendon, but as for a player, id be lost!

Cheers,
Moffo

Both of you have the year wrong. Not by much, but they are both incorrect.

 

[imported_Outlaw]

I'm figuring if we can nail the year, then we may be able to find something thru a search engine with the correct year.
1988?

 

[Grubrunner™]

If my aging and intoxicated memory serves me for a change here, I'm pretty sure the player he hopped on to grab that screamer was a Geelong team mate. I'd be stuffed if I know the year though.... I'll guess 1982.

 

[Cronulla_Mania]

1988 Gary Hocking

Your year is wrong but you are onto the right track with the rest of your post.

1985

 

[imported_Reservoir Dog]

1985 is the correct year.
One down...one to go.

I remember this mark very clearly. I was living in Broad Meadows - Victoria at the time. It was in the 1985 season and the player he hopped onto for the grab was team mate Mark "Jacko"Jackson.
It was backpage news the following day and journos were asking Jackson "what it was like to have "God" climbing all over you"......or something like that.
Cheers - Aaron C.

I'm pretty sure my answer is correct.
However I'm still tied up with work and family dutiesat the moment and will not be able to participate in this thread. I'm just starting to get back on board here following a long layoff, but not quite ready to make the transitionjust yet. Soon I hope.
If I am correct, I'd like to pass on my turn to Willow. He did get the year correct before anyone elseand I couldn't think of a better bloke than a fellow Dragons man.
Of course this all afterReserviour Dog gives the signal.
Cheers all - Aaron C

 

[imported_Reservoir Dog]

Right on Aaron.
Mate that happened almost 20years ago and you relived it like it was last season with the newspaper article you noted. Good memory that mate. Well done mate.
And as you requested in your post - over to you Willow.

 

[Willow]

I don't think I'm deserving - thanks to Aaron C for passing it on.

Name the RL backrower who played for Australia against PNG in 1996 but never played at State level.
Hint: he played in three grand finals.
