Tom Kavanagh. 

Left the Demons in 1990, after playing in 2 games for 2 wins.  The last of those was against the Eagles at Subiaco, round 8, 1989.  We overcame a 14 point deficit at 3/4 time to win by 2 points.  Kavanagh kicked a goal.

Brent Grgic - a real enigma, naturally talented but missing in action.

Jordon Gysberts  - great talent with poor attitude and application.

Luke Molan - career nevereventuated.

Craig Nettlebeck

One of my favourites but I’m biased as I used to work for his old man. Craig was a great bloke.

Dead set one of my all time favorite Dees.

Gave us fantastic value at C.H.B after crossing from Adelaide.

Great judgement of the ball in the air, gutsy as hell, good 1 on 1 but had the prerequisite ordinary kicking foot on him.

He had an ugly kicking action, but the ball generally went where it was intended.

Russell Colcott. Yet another undersized full forward ,but what a leap! Worth the admission just to see him fly for speccies. Didnt last long and then went to Oakleigh but an enormous natural talent .

Kowal played just over 100 games, that's borderline obscure to me.

my criteria is nobody bringing up his name in the 3 or 4 yrs ive been lurking and posting. Marcus Seecamp is another, not obscure, but i think im the only one ive ever seen bring him up! i think it was a convo with you Rod about bringing in some muscle to stand up to opposition belting Gawn behind play.

Ingo was not obscure. Dead set gun!

As a replacement, I nominate Paul Payne.

Tony Anderson? Not obscure at all. When I was a kid, #11 was one of my favourites. A premiership player in '64.

If that's really you, Tony, cheers from an old fan.

Great post.

Marcus Seecamp was a player who I would love in our side now.

Solidly built half-back who would run through a bus crash to defend a team mate. Hard as woodpeckerlips.

A 195cm player who measured 185cm in height.

How about Matthew Collins, he played about 20 odd games, but injury limited his time with us. Came to us from Adelaide with Brent Wiliams for Nathan Bassett ( a couple more for the obscure list, though neither played a game for us)

Ted Fidge played 42 games for us, and in last year of 1988 only played the one game ... but what a game!

We were playing Collingwood at Waverley and Fidgey snotted Magpie star and matchwinner Darren Millane hard enough for Pants to have no further impact on the game (may have even been carried off).  Young Ted copped six weeks from the tribunal and we never saw him again.  We won the game by the way!

At that game and visibly recall the Fidge- Millane 'incident' to this day. Ted rather publicly and mistakenly retaliated to sly whack from  Millane, during the play, with a powerful right cross to the head. Millane was dazed, confused and on very rubbery legs. So much for the faux tough image, Millane attempted to project on the footy field. Unfortunately for Ted,  Swooper massively disapproved, it was Ted's last senior appearance and he was delisted at seasons end. The match itself? After an three goal opening burst by the Magpies, a fabulous Brian Wilson lead recovery by the Demons, who stormed back to secure a memorable victory.

He was memorable for his large tattoo of an Indian on his arm.
