Almanac Teams: 100 gamers at two clubs

 

 

 

This week’s side is based on players that have played 100 games for two different teams.

 

Players from the team below to captain two clubs is Chris Judd. Those who won a Brownlow medal at both clubs a Gary Ablett, Chris Judd, and Greg Williams. Premiership winners: Shaun Burgoyne, Darren Jarman, and Gavin Wanganeen, and Grand Finalists are Lance Franklin, Robert Scott, Heath Shaw, Earl Spalding, and Darryl Wakelin.

 

All Australians at both clubs are Gary Ablett, Peter Bell, Patrick Dangerfield, Lance Franklin, Fraser Gehrig, Darren Jarman, Chris Judd, and Gavin Wanganeen, while Best & Fairest winners are Gary Ablett, Peter Bell, Patrick Dangerfield, Gary Dempsey, Chris Judd, Tony McGuinness and Bernie Vince. Greg Williams won a Best & Fairest at Carlton and Geelong, but not Sydney.

 

Franklin has won Coleman Medals while at each club; Gary Ablett, Eddie Betts, Lance Franklin, Fraser Gehrig, Alistair Lynch, Bernie Quinlan and Saverio Rocca have been leading goalkickers.

 

Players that had sons join one of their teams as a Father-Son selection are David Cloke, Anthony Daniher, Russell Greene, Dean Rice, Barry Round and Robert Scott. John Blakey’s son Nick declined to play for Brisbane and North Melbourne and chose Sydney as an Academy pick.

 

Some extra points:

 

• While Lynch made his name as a forward, he started his career as a defender. I do like Lynch being close to Wakelin after what happened in 2004 Grand Final.
• While Fitzroy’s AFL presence merged with Brisbane’s, Lynch was traded prior to this so I have counted them as different entities.
• All Australian is based on from 1991, I have not included All Australian selection from state matches or Team of the Year selections.
