Thanks, magpie greg.

OK here's one. In Round 14, 1988, the second meeting between Carlton and Collingwood was held at the MCG with Steve Silvagni taking mark of the year and Collingwood taking the four points after 3 last quarter goals to maligned Centre half-forward Craig Starcevich. The crowd, in excess of 70,000 people was considered especially healthy on the day. Why?

There was a train strike on.

Dont know if this question has been asked before, but here goes:

Peter Daicos played his first game in 1978. Who was it against, where was it played & what was the final score?

I will let someone else answer it.

Oops!!! Your right!!!

For a bonus point. Who was the larger than life media personality that was playing for the opposition that day??

If you are talking Rex Hunt he actually retired at the end of 1978.

I'm pretty sure he played. Looks like I may have stuffed this right up, does'nt it?

Any way we can confirm this??

Peter the Great made his debut against StKilda at Victoria Park on round 4 1979. Pies won 207 to 29 i think. Daicos best on ground
