CK's Argument Settler Quiz (Extended)

[rogernumber10]

This one has apparently been debated back and forth around cyberspace over the last little while with no answer, until now. Who, in VFL / AFL history, are the leading pairs of players (teammates I mean) to have taken the field together for a club in the most matches. You need some big numbers to get on the page.

A bit more work done. We can now take in the top 10 in history if people want to have a crack at pairs 5-10.

1. Kevin Bartlett & Francis Bourke 289 matches together of a possible 358 for Richmond (1967-81)
2. Brad Johnson & Scott West 287 matches together of a possible 345 for the Western Bulldogs (1994-2008)
3. Nathan Burke & Stewart Loewe 280 matches together of a possible 358 for St Kilda (1987-2002)
4.Tyson Edwards & Andrew McLeod. 280 matches together of a possible 312 for Adelaide (1995 - Round Six, 2009)
5. Ben Hart and Mark Ricciuto. 267 games for Adelaide between 1993 - 2006.
6. Scott West and Chris Grant. 267 games for Western Bulldogs between 1993-2007
7. Chris Grant and Rohan Smith. 260 games for Western Bulldogs between 1992-2006.
8. Leigh Matthews and Kelvin Moore. 258 matches for Hawthorn between 1970-84.
9. Robert Harvey and Nathan Burke. 253 matches for St Kilda between 1988-2003
10. Mark Ricciuto and Andrew McLeod. 253 games for Adelaide between 1995-2007

LOL...yes, this one came up on RPH yesterday morning on the show and yes, is being hotly debated by a growing group of people.

My first thought was Michael Tuck and Gary Buckenara.

Tuck (426 games), doesn't make any of the four pairs of teammates, which was a bit surprising.

[CK]

Hmmm...that IS surprising. I won't just keep guessing all day, but on a hunch, will throw Andrew McLeod and Tyson Edwards into the mix.

[Booney]

Fletcher and Lloyd?

Pair number four.

[JK]

John & Ian Nankervis?

Simon Madden & Tim Watson?

[rogernumber10]

Fletcher and Lloyd?

On the basis of pair number four which CK called, both players need to have played a minimum of 280 games to qualify for this list, so that rules out Lloyd, and provides a decent edit on who to look at from here.

[rogernumber10]

John & Ian Nankervis?

Simon Madden & Tim Watson?

Bruce Nankervis (better known as John in the CP household ) didn't get to 280 career games. Watson and Madden fell short.

[am Bays]

Would be 300 games for John McFarlane and Peter Carey...

Seeing as the VFL State League is included in this quiz no reason why the SANFL can't, IMO

[Q.]

Harvey and Burke at St. Kilda?

[Booney]

Right-o-then.

Nathan Burke and Stewart Loewe?

Rohan Smith and Scott West?

[Q.]

Ahhh, yes Stewie Loewe! I reckon yours is correct Booney.

[rogernumber10]

Harvey and Burke at St. Kilda?

Not that pair at the Saints

[rogernumber10]

Right-o-then.

Nathan Burke and Stewart Loewe?

Rohan Smith and Scott West?

One right there. Right club with the other guess, but not a correct guess

[Booney]

Brad Johnson and Rohan Smith

[Q.]

Simon Madden would have to be up there? Who would he have played that many games with?

OOPS! CP already said it.

[Booney]

Daniher and Madden?

* Edit - @ Essendon *

[rogernumber10]

Brad Johnson and Rohan Smith

Still the right club, but the wrong pair.

[JK]

Lowe (or Burke) & Harvey?
