Opinion Favorite non household names

calder_daddy · Monday at 7:54 PM

I’m quite bored and with a month to go to the draft I wanted to start a talking point.

Who were some of your favorite players when you were a kid, the smaller household names?

From my childhood I loved David Mench, Simon Arnott, Derek Hall and Scott Bamford

I’m looking forward to seeing all the different names, some I’m sure I won’t even know who they’re

Shayne Breuer

I've still got my childhood knit long sleeve guernsey which has the #9 on it

When I read Shayne Breuer my mind automatically goes to Andrew Willis and a draw against Port in I think which was their first year and I cried

Danny O’Brien because he signed my footy. And Clint Bizzell because he took a huge hanger.

A great bloke from Kerang, played for Wandella, had a brother called Andrew who only played 2s for Geelong

He took more than one! I remember a game against Collingwood at Telstra Dome/Colonial Stadium/Marvel Stadium where he took 3 or 4 massive hangers.

Ramsay Boganovich - one good game against the Blues at KP that I attended as a child and has stuck in my memory since

This - along with Grant Tanner - was my immediate first answer.

I went to the Bible (AFL Tables):

7 disposals, 2 marks, 1 behind, 3 hitouts, 1 free for, 4 frees against. Your kiddy memory is flawed!

No, it was the year 2000 and one of the very few drawn games where one side kicked two goals more than the other.

I have a kids size 5 Geelong jumper with 33 on it from Bruce Nankervis days

Go Catters

David Cameron.

Think he kicked a bag one game and I jumped on the wagon.

Then he got traded with someone else to Brisbane. I was pissed off.

We got pick 1 and I was still pissed.

Then we chose Hooper and everyone ended up being pissed!

Did Cameron Thurley have a good game against Carlton?

lol, the reason it was a good game is the frees against. He completed trampled the Carlton mosquito fleet playing as a giant on baller ( hence no taps) who played poorly.

Stephen Hooper was fine in the early days of Pick 1. Just injured a lot

I was shattered when Brent Moloney got traded
Was a favorite from the start, I know he was the Dominoes that helped us win some flags but still hated seeing him in other colors.
Was perfect for our quick, kick the ball long game style also

Moloney and Prismall are completely interchangeable in my head
