You went a bit abstract, good one.
Sorry, it's over to Greg, he's too quick on the buzzer.
It's cold & rainy Raymond, time for that woolly Poncho perhaps?

What about the Coventry's, Syd and Gordon?

What set of brothers, from abbotsford, also had their uncle as a champion Collingwood player?

Lou & Ron Richards, their uncle was Mick Twomey, is that right?

Magpie Greg, it's over to you, BUT you didn't answer the whole Q!

My question is:-

Which opposition player fell across Robert Hyde's leg in 1975 resulting him in requiring a knee reconstruction and costing him his first Copeland Trophy, ultimately?

BTW, I remember being introduced to Alby Pannam by my grand father at Vic Park one day. My Pop reckoned he was the best player ever to play for Collingwood.

nice one banger. i'm quite comfortable though.

I meant to mention Shane and Paul Morwood, but forgot them and went for the Millanes in desperation.

I'm not much of a trivia buff, so here's a lollypop for some of you hard core trivialists:

Nathan Buckley has won 6 Copeland Trophies, the most of any Collingwood player. Which two players stand behind him for the number of Copelands collected, and for how many each?

fence-banger · Post by **fence-banger** » Sat Aug 23, 2008 11:15 am

Is half the answer, Bobby Rose, 5 Copelands?

Bobby only won 4 and was runner up in the '53 Brownlow as well.
1949, 1951, 1952, 1953

The other was Len Thompson with 5. 1967, 1968, 1972, 1973, 1977 and he did win a Brownlow in 1972 as well.
