Obscure Hawk Players

[Big Easy]

A more recent addition - Broc MacAuly. Saw him the other day at the Albert Park golf driving range. Tall unit.
Someone mentioned Matt Bourke who played one game in 1989. I read or was told that he holds the record for most times being named as an emergency - something like 26 games. Not sure how true/accurate that is but just shows he must have been incredibly unlucky to not play more games in such a star studded team. Also Dom Berry played one game as mentioned - wasn't he going out with Alan Joyce's daughter at the time which have not helped him at the selection table?!

Treleven had a good first couple of yrs at the club, his problem was he had no pace and the older he got the worse his decision making got. Had good skills i remember tho.

Jock!

 

[Blackhawk42]

Anyone mentioned Gary Moss yet?

Jason Danilchenko

Chicko! I used to play cricket with his little brother

 

[local hack]

Brad Lloyd, Chris Obst, Jonathan Robran. All played in Jason Dunstall's last game.

Wow, I can’t remember Brad Lloyd playing. He used to go very very well with the ladies.

 

[Dank You Steven]

Anyone mentioned Gary Moss yet?

Yes.

 

[Lord Mud of Glenferrie]

Andrew Demetriou - Played 3 games

And can only remember 2

Shayne Stevenson. He had his moments

Didn't he kick a goal while reputedly having a broken leg. I think it could have been against Fitzroy, and there was no replacement so he stood in the goal square.

 

[Randall Stevens]

Certainly not obscure in his era, but it’s rarely mentioned now that Leigh Matthews’ younger brother Kelvin was a fine player in his own right.
Played almost 100 games for the Hawks, was part of the 1976 flag team and played for Victoria in 1974.
He later moved to Geelong and played another 50 odd games.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Round 11 1995 v Sydney at Waverley
Had a broken ankle

 

[grumbleguts]

Cameron Ling.

Jason Danilchenko

Crossed from North Melbourne , given no 25, he tore a ACL in a practice match and that was it for him. Came back the following year and played reserves all year.

 

[Todman]

Ruoury Kirby rookie draft 2004.. How did this kid not get drafted the experts questioned after the draft. Hawks snapped him up as a rookie. Started in the BH seniors but soon fell back to the Dev squad. After 1 year he was in the SANFL.

Now that's obscurity with a capital "O!"

 

[Gene Simmons]

Thank you Steven. I was there, but couldn't remember which game.

Yep, same game Dunstall twisted his knee, Dutchy broke his collarbone and our runner collided with an umpire and broke his cheekbone... And yes, Stevenson injured his ankle and sat in the goalsquare (and kicked a match winning goal) - scans later revealing that he had a fracture

Not 'obscure' per se, but I've always considered these two to be cult heroes...

Lance Picioane & Rayden Tallis

 

[Hong Kong Hawk]

Macagregor Grummet was my favourite from the early 80s.

Lived next door to Jon Hassall for a little bit.

[Agent Smith]

Lived next door to Jon Hassall for a little bit.

I don't know why he's leaving, or where he's gonna go
I guess he's got his reasons but I just don't want to know
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Hassall

He was a bit of a smokey when we recruited him.
