Ok, basically if you're bored at work or have nothing better to do, have a go at this. You have 15 minutes to name all the players that have represented Carlton from 2000-2009. I did terribly, most of the players I named were from early in the decade

See how you go-

Then there are more, such as name all the AFL premiers, which I did quite well in, naming 80 out of 113.

Just thought I would share this

"GIBBS."

81 - missed quite a few I should have gotten

68 - I had mental amnesia on a few of those guys (quite understandable when you look at the list )

It was great fun though

I just had another shot, and got 94/116. One thing I learned from it- how to spell "Kreuzer". I had always spelt it "Kruezer".

"GIBBS."

Got into the 90s before I started cheating and using the Blueseum. Missed about half the 2000 list

The Blueseum should have a go! Go on, give it a go!

I need way more than 15 minutes. I reckon I'd do a lot better if I had a half or an hour.

Who was the first player you typed in? Mine was Judd.

Camporeale for me

I'll take that as an automatic banning!

I generally went from 2000 and onwards. Koutoufides was the first name I typed in the second time I did it because he made that year his own.
The first time I did it, I thought of a completely random one- Ben Nelson and typed that first

"GIBBS."

My first two were Bannister and Bentick

that was a lot of fun - got 84.

Got Pickering Campbell, Beasy, Culpitt and o'Keefe

Missed Sexton, Hickmott, Grigg and Johnson

75, with a phone call in the middle.

If you get Johnson, that's worth two for Chris and Brett.

Same with Murphy.

Ashamed to say I only got 62, and some of the ones I missed were embarrassing.

Got all the premiership teams though, which means I really must get a life.

That was fun!

I got 83. Was going to provide a list of those I missed, but don't want to give any clues away

There were two rookies I could picture, but couldn't for the life of me remember their names.

One of them played this season

One bloke we got from North Melbourne was almost completely beyond my memory. His initials are LS for anyone who hasn't done it.

Got 96, pretty happy with that, though some of the ones I missed are not very good

I remembered him, though another way was to simply type 'Smith' in and it would've showed up

Really? I remembered him (and actually thought he was ok ) but my spelling of his name3 wasn't accepted....I didnt try Smith on its own.

I saw him kick 7 in a VFL game, thought he was gonna be something.

He wasn't.

Got him as he was a Glenelg lad
