Hutchison has a couple of brownlows, but most career votes without winning a Brownlow is held by Leigh Matthews.

As a clue, Bill Hutchison held this record outright from the time of his retirement until the start of this 2008 season. Brad Johnson has only equalled the feat since this season began.

Take a Mulligan Mulligain! :lol:

BTW Hutchinson was runner-up in the Brownlow once too, the bloke who beat him polled three votes in the last game.

Okay, I'm prepared to wear the howls of anger as people discover the answer to this question was very obscure / odd. [-X

The draw last Sunday for the Bulldogs was the seventh draw that Brad Johnson has played in for his AFL career. A large group of players have played in six different draws in their VFL / AFL career but that draw for Johnson equalled the record number that Bill Hutchison played in for Essendon during his career.

Yes, it was obscure.

I promise [-o< the question later this afternoon will be one that's not so difficult and you can just guess away to your heart's content.

I KNOW THE ANSWER!

A large group of players have played in six different draws in their VFL / AFL career but that draw for Johnson equalled the record number that Bill Hutchison played in for Essendon during his career.
