I reckon the umpire would have pinged many of today’s “handpasses” back in the flick pass days.

Wouldn't we all!
Remember the olden days, the coaching manual stated something like .........
off a stationary hand ............
I even recall some controversy in Diesel's day, because he would use the hand holding the ball to throw the ball backwards onto his approaching fist. It enabled him to hit 30m hand passes, but from that to what we have today is a long long way!
That would be too easy G2C but feel free to come up with your own quiz :)

That's about all I could find. Some of our members I'm sure would know more. The second link is to the main gallery page, and you will find page 2 of 2 there.
That blueseum is worth its weight in gold. A great resource IMO.

Yes, but I was serious! If half the CSC members each come up with a quiz, it should entertain us for an hour or so :)

Sorry DBS, I made it sound like Vinny had KOd the coach when it happened during a Carlton-Hawthorn game. The Matthews brothers hunted Vinny after Parkin was carried off and I suspect that he regretted his actions.
I believe that there was an incident where the actual coach was dropped by a player.
