second hand players.

As trade times come closer and we consider drafting players from other clubs, we win with some and bomb out with others.

Who in the last 30 years has been our best second hand get?

My vote goes to Brett Lovett:

60 games in Hawthorn reserves.

235 games for the Dees.

Six times Vic representative

Fourth in 1990 Brownlow Medal

A great solid backman, ran off his man and kicked long into the forward line.

 

Anthony Ingerson was a good one from the Crows. Brian Wilson from the Scraggers, Stephen Icke and Peter Rhode were also decent.

 

I liked Bizzell

Just beat me to it! Also think Shanahan was a good pickup for us but I have a particular liking for Bernie. Like Laurie Fowler before him, I think he'll win the Bluey tomorrow night. Did Peter Moore win the B&F when he won the Brownlow?

I also remember Dean Chiron was a really good tagger for us late 80's. I remember Dermi cleaning him up at Waverley in a final. I think he was tagging Platten??

 

Powell could have been one of the better ones, but we couldn't keep him for long enough.

Leoncelli was good, was drafted to Carlton before playing at Old Xav's. Played close to 150 games then continued to contribute to the club by serving on the board for a number of years


peter moore was ok, as was the great big carl

no love for jacko (not alan)?

Hush! Never mention the name of anybody who belted our Robbie

So did I.

really :rolleyes::roos:


Brian Wilson was a beauty.

Would get pinged nearly once a game trying to beat the tacklers.

Drove everyone crazy but I liked him.

Wonderful actor.

Did anyone from his generation play for free kicks more than he did?


Rod Owen's first 9 games for Melbourne were fantastic. Then he did his knee again. End of story.

Marcus Seecamp could play as well. Didn't take any cheek either.

Daniel Ward was good.

shall never forget the day Willo gave Mouth to Mouth to the Ump!!

Just Classic!

 

Loved watching Byron Pickett chase, tackle and hurt the opposition, plus score a few goals on the run (if I remember correctly).

Big fan of Stephen Powell, Dutchy was frustrating at times but also had a couple of good days out. Huge Jeff White fan, he was enormous for us - still don't think we've seen a player quite like him.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
