A question (now a clue) for stat/ footy heads

Postby rogernumber10 » Wed Apr 23, 2008 12:45 pm

What VFL-AFL record do Brad Johnson and Bill Hutchison share?

Anyone comes up with the answer, I can forward a small prize of a new AFL coaching book that is about to come out. A book has been produced - skills and drills for AFL footy -- which is a 200-page book for coaches that covers;

- basic drills for skill acquisition for kids
- intermediate drills and skills for teams progressing in the game
- advanced drills and game plans used by elite coaches and AFL teams

It hits the market later this week and as such, it's a one-stop book for people coaching and wanting to learn the game, with the front part of the book covering the basics and then going on to the advanced stuff. If you're a footy head who loves reading on tactics, or a coach who wants to be across what they are doing at AFL training, I'm happy to forward one.

for anyone who is just interested in the book, and the question is too hard, just drop me a note separately.
