Did a Subi player miss a goal early on from the top of the square straight in front at the city end?? His bloody name escapes me.
edit - I think it may have been Rod Willet.

Dean Irving - First choice ruck in '91 with back up from a 18-19yo Jakovich
Paul Harding - Got him from StK only played 1 or 2 (?) seasons managed to be our first ruck for '92 premiership.

From memory Jason was a very early pick of the Sydney Swans and we picked him up after he finished with Sydney (injuries were an issue from memory).
I dont remember him playing a game for us, but I'm sure he was on the list.
Was Gastev on our list to start with or was he Brissy from day one?
Yeah you're right we had both Spinks' for a time
Anyone mention Andy Lovell?
Got him for Melb in '95 (?) then became a runner for us for a while.
Brendan Retzlaff from Brisbane (?) & Michael Dunstan from Fitzroy - thought they were going to be a big pickups (esp Dunstan) they both struggled to get a game once over here.
Good ol' Tony Godden - thought he was good, but then we traded him to Freo when they setup.
Spider Burton - don't think he got a game with us.

Never heard about anything like that.

If I remember right, his old man was a State champion wood chopper down in Tassie. Hence Andy's nickname 'Chopper'.
Andy's still around, I think he might be coaching the VFL now?
Played some good footy for us in 1996 but he was at the tail end of his career - as was Craig Turley, who we sent the other way to play out his days with Melbourne.
Miguel Sanchez
(Unique injury) TBC
He was coaching one of the VFL teams (Sandringham or Casey I think) a couple of years ago.
"Eagle for a day", the name we used to give a teacher at Leeming high school. Just can't remember his name. Was a good east freo player I think.[/quote]
Haha i went to Leeming as well! It was Shane Ellis! I remember him coming to school on mondays, walking like he had just been hit by a truck! I went to an Eagles game and was cheering for "Mr Ellis"!!!

Yeah, was just about to mention Daniel McConnell. Was involved in the trade that got us the picks for Hurn and McKinley, and Hawthorn the pick for Max Bailey. Hmm...wonder which club won that 3-way trade?
Brad Smith could have been amazing for us. Probably would have made the 2005 flag a sure thing. Tragedy. Braun and Matera injuries hurt us in that GF. Too many random's were in that lineup.
James Thomson was the no-hoper of the 2006 draft class. His dad is involved in sports broadcasting I think.
David Antonowicz, Luke Trew, David Ogg...
I remember Murray Wrensted for kicking our first ever goal.
Our 1995 national draft was horrific. Laughably bad.
This thread will only get better as the years roll on. And yes, Michael Embley wins this thread. Forgot he even existed, and his bro still plays for us.

Best Dennis Cometti quote about Mark Zanotti (one night at the WACA):
"He's made more runs on this ground than Kim Hughes!"
Definitely with us.
One of the few that were jettisoned by Toddy after 1988 (along with Zanotti, Wally Matera, Murray Wrensted, Michael O'Connell and Alex Ischencko)
Little tidbit for you. Gastev's real surname was Gastevich, however he changed it before the 1984 WAFL season IIRC.
Steven Armstrong, but that might just be me.

Ryan Davis - NSW scholarship player who got a few games in a shit season (couple of years back), showed a bit but knocked back a rookie contract the following year (something about taking a pay cut to stay pretty much) and tried his luck in the draft. No longer in the league.
army will always be remembered for that dribbling snap goal in the 06 gf...played a part and was rewarded with a premiership medal
I never knew krummel played for us, i thought he was a hawk only?
I remember collica and taylor, from the judge era
and greg harding was a trade from freo for metro i believe?

Yep, Krummel started with WCE, had a short lived stint at Freo too.
Collica was runner up in our B&F in 2001, rough year but he was good. Woosha didn't rate him and he was gone not long after. Taylor was our second best midfielder that year behind Cousins. Like I said, it was a rough year!
Harding for Metro yep, was a nil all draw that one!

Saw this thread on the main page, took 94 posts but now he's been mentioned!
Came from Melbourne after a few years there, I remember on AFL Live Premiership Edition he was an absolute gun at full forward, kicked 14 goals
Yep - that's the one.
Gee - Brett looked the goods. If IRC he had dodgy knees which hampered him.
There was one crueled by injury
