Abe Simpson: I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.

Kevin Sheedy??

This one might take you back a little..... and Iprobably can't remember all the details.

Carlton's Frank Marchesani (spelling?) - late 80s? - even wore #25 - burst onto the scene, could have been anything but within a year or so was playing park soccer. May have have had a season after the Blues with the Roys?

Anyone with the correct story?

Your right he did start off like a bomb but it was initially with the 'Roys but then couldn't regain his rookie form with Carlton. A bout of glandular fever didn't help much either but he wasn't half the player he was at Carlton as he was Fitzroy.

Similiarly Phil Walsh at C'wood where I think he won VFL 1st season player of the year on Ch. 7's WOS (no rising star award then) but got caught in the *** for tat poaching war in the 1980's between C'wood and Richmond and really struggled with the Tiges and end up an average player at the Bears IIRC.

Mark Dwyer of the Roys also started off his 1st season like he was going to be a champion and even lead the Brownlow in the early rounds as his form was that good. However he got homesick for the country life and headed back to the Koroit/Warrnambool area sometime in his 2nd yr I think.

Adrain McAdam was probably the one of the biggest wastes of talent I saw....too much smoking of the funny stuff I believe fixed up his wagon.

are you saying Modra because he retired? He still averaged 2.5 goals in his last 11 games in a Freo team that got flogged each week.

He was an awesome player, then went to Freo and was never the player he once was. Don't get me wrong, was a great player but dropped away significantly from his peak. He was still pretty young when he retired wasn't he?
