Spot on as usual J26.

I just double checked my records and in fact there was a fourth, not much of player though, nobody would have noticed him anyway. Apparently he is a plumber and has an affiliation with primates.

Why were Floggers banned from VFL games in the 70's, what incident at what Collingwood game was the cause?

Tess....you can't answer this one.

edit: Floggers are the big streamers that Cheersquads struggle with waving up and down when their team gets a goal
