AFL Tuesday Triva: December 12 2006
Carlton's 1995 Grand Final team had a forward line with half the players acquired through the preseason drafts. Name the three forwards from the 1995 team that were preseason draft choices, and also name their previous AFL teams that delisted the players.
Matt Clape - West coast
Earl Spalding - Melbourne
MAC
Matt Clape, correct. The Eagles didn't need him as they had other forward options.
Earl Spalding, the Melbourne Demons traded him to Carlton for a draft pick.
So there is one more forward to name for Carlton's 1995 team.
MAC
Pearce was a little-used player who was delisted by Brisbane, but he would become a useful partner to Kernahan in the Carlton forward line of the mid 1990s.
