Heads'n'Balls

A lot of catching up to do, so let's get catching:


The Irish Experiment: Ron Barrassi pioneered the introduction of foreign, non-footballing sportsmen into the VFL back in the early 80s. Rugged springheel Sean Wight burst into the Dees side pretty quickly and we all know Jim Stynes' story. These two stayed close all their lives and sadly both were claimed by cancer within months of each other.
You'd think they'd be checking what's in those sheds down their at Junction Oval... the toll is mounting, these two champs, Dean Bailey, and now Neale Daniher is not exactly in peachy health.
Dirk went for earl Spalding, Taff saw Brian Taylor and here's Harv's answer (worth 2 points):

A couple of weeks back Brent Macaffer's style of tagging was headlining (now, of course, it's all but forgotten). I don't know if Libba the elder invented the modern method of tagging, but he certainly honed it to his own liking.

Only an answer from Harv:
"The heads are Libba that scumbag and Shane Woewodin.
2 of the most overrated Brownlow medalists eva!
A couple of years ago he pulled the 'How many Brownlows have you won?" line to a mate he just squirrelled - in Super-rules!!!
His response was - "As many as you deserved!""

So he was half right.
The ANZAC Day Round Special:
Bluey Truscott, Dees Champ who gave his life crashing his plane in WWII (isn't that a Nintendo computer/video kind of thingy??) and Grame Cornes, who didn't give his life in 'Nam, but tried real hard to.
Your answers:
Taffa: Bucks and Bruce MacAvaney
Harv: Bluey Truscott and Jack Jones which was a damn good guess, and probably more appropriate.
