Correct.
He was an essendon supporter as well so im sure he would have loved to play with wanganeen and long there.
Why did Port do well? Also compared to Freo, and why they've done so poorly (and WC, Adelaide)?

Ben Edwards from Claremont - see below.
Also Troy Johnson is a good one, served jail time.
Another one is Douglas Headland (no relation to Des), picked up at 42 in the national draft of 94 and never made it on to the list.
We also had John Neesham on the rookie list at one point, a cousin or nephew of Gerard and absolutely no good at footy but he was a handy water polo player!

I have seen it said that the Dockers had a lesser salary cap than other clubs and that the club was so poor that they could not afford to fly recruiting staff around the country to see potential draftees. I can't confirm how factual these things are.

Thanks for that. A sorry tale indeed.

#chrisconnoly4pm will be next
Port are a football club and a very proud one. Arguably the greatest of all football clubs from the VFL/SANFL/WAFL.
The others are franchises and while they have done well they will never be able to draw on the great history that Port have.

yes i'm still a touch salty over it all
Hell of a player though and I loved watching him as long as it wasn't against us.
Being sacked from Freo was the best thing that happened to Drum.Give you the drum:

Freo has done well in recent years away from home under RL. This year been very difficult with injuries but been tough side to beat at home or away since RL took over

Any chance we could get a 500 post qualification before a user can post a new thread? I've still never felt the need and I recently made my 5000th post.

Not really. WA & SA started off with fairly mature established players compared to majority of list being 18 years
