Remarkable that Buckley never won it despite playing nine Anzac Day matches (for five wins, a draw and three losses). Picked up 37 disposals and 2 Brownlow votes in 2003, but we lost by 66 points, and Sav Rocca (helped, no doubt, by excellent service from Buckley) kicked bags of 9 and 7 respectively in his other two Brownlow-scoring outings.

Otherwise we've had quite a spread there! Some players I don't recall having won at all (Johnson, Medhurst, Treloar).

[Skids]

Great post P4S.

Worth mentioning that Tarrant, with 5 goals (2001) is the only player to have won the ANZAC medal from the losing (we lost by 8 points) side.

I remember Medhusrts vividly, kicking 6 goals in one of his best games for the club.

^ That was a great day. I still watch the dvd from time to time.

Have only managed to see one live - Medhurst in 2008, amazing day.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

Turd has 4, hasn't he? I suppose Pendlebury still has another decade to equal that, at least

[Pies4shaw]

^ Only 3 and, sadly for him, not a single one playing for the correct team.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

Thanks for clearing that up. As much as I dislike the man, he was a bloody brilliant footballer. Would've been the difference on at least a couple of occasions. One would have to wonder now though, what exactly fuelled him?
