So, I shall assess their analyses here.... firstly....

Victor - Guy McKenna

Guy McKenna
What is there not to say about him.
If there was ever proof that success in 1 Arena does not equal success in all fields he is proof positive.

Right now at 3-20 he is setting himself up to be the worst Coach in Gold Coast History
It is a shame because from 1988-2000 he was one of the best half back flankers in AFL History and was notedly honoured in 2009 being Inducted into the Australian Football Hall Of Fame .

For you Americans out there who have no idea what I am talking about in a nutshell Isiah Thomas is essentially the Yank version of Guy McKenna


Poor googling here, Victor. Facts are fine, but what you are missing:
- The importance of Guy McKenna as a player for the West Coast Eagles, being a two-time premiership player (including their inaugural premiership), two-time Best & Fairest winner (10 years apart), a former captain of the club, named in their Team of the Decade in 1996, Team 20 in 2006 and formed what is acknowledge as one of, if not the best, half-back lines with Glen Jakovich and John Worsfold.
- Rise through the coaching ranks, from mediocrity at Claremont in the WAFL before becoming an assistant at Collingwood under former West Coast coach Mick Malthouse, and then becoming the inaugural coach of the Gold Coast Suns.

As for analysis, his ability to read the play and set-up from defence with his classy skills made him a successful player during his era and a modern prototype for the attacking defenders of today.

I give you a 4/10 for this effort.

Victor - Peter Matera

Peter Matera

He was not just one of the best wingmen of the 1990s he was quite possibly one of the best wingmen of all time in Aussie Rules Football. Although in 2005 he was named to the Indigenous Team Of The Century he is also part Italian so just take care spike your and pump your first like a Jersey Guido in honour of Peter Matera.

Although he won numerous awards through his career included being named Premiereship player of the year in 92,94 he also lead his team West Coast Eagles to a 1992 AFL Premiership title the first time a team outside of Victoria accomplished that.


A bit better on this effort. I'll give a 6/10.

Victor - Dean Kemp

Dean Kemp


He was born 17 February 1969 in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League.

Recruited from Subiaco in the Western Australian Football League, Kemp made his AFL debut in Round 1 of the 1990 AFL season in a 46-point win at Subiaco Oval against eventual premiers Collingwood. He played 23 games (including all four finals) and won West Coast's Rookie of the Year Award.

In 1992 he played in West Coast's Premiership team and earned All-Australian selection as well as West Coast's best and fairest award. In 1994 he played in the side's second premiership team and won the Norm Smith Medal for best on ground.

He was selected in the 1996 Team of the Decade for the Eagles. In 2001 he was made co-captain with Ben Cousins, but retired later that season. Kemp suffered numerous concussions during his career, including one resulting from a savage hit from Mark Ricciuto, and his career was ultimately shortened somewhat by the effects of these numerous concussions.

Kemp was an outstanding midfielder who surprisingly never polled well in the Brownlow Medal count, polling only 53 career votes, with a season best of 13 in 2000. A reason put forward for this is that Kemp was not a flashy ball carrier type player. Rather, on gaining possession of the ball, would quickly and effectively dispose of it to a teammate.

He was also particularly good playing in the wet, rarely fumbling the greasy ball. He enjoyed a successful career after he was drafted at number 117 in the 1989 draft. The lateness of his selection in the draft is frequently highlighted to argue that late draft picks can still prove themselves to be star players.

Kemp was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2007.


Wikipedia copypaste. Auto-fail. If I find out the others were copypaste, I will make you resit the entire exam.

Read through the rest, and even though they're not finished, Victor has petered out into shit but Bro has been awesome with his summaries. Even if he copypasted them from somewhere, and despite a bit Yank-tinge, I'm liking the effort.

Ok, so I'm likening Victor to Chris Judd... recruited despite some question marks, so wasn't first choice... part of a winning team and then decided to cut their losses when they saw the end was near, mercenary style.

Bro is Guy McKenna... sits back, reads the play and attacks when the opposition makes a mistake. Part of a team that was hammered early but grew as a player and found success.

Victor's lack of comprehension may have cost him with his answer. Game style, Victor... game style.
