This is an interesting story about South Australian indigenous footballer, Michael Graham, who recently received AFL Hall of Fame status. 

The journey of Michael Graham, aka 'The Flash', to the Australian Football Hall of Fame

He was chased by Melbourne in the early 1970s but the club couldn’t persuade him to shift across from SA. At around the same time, we were also interested in getting Glenelg ruckman/forward Peter Carey to come to the club but he stayed put. Both players had long and productive careers and would have improved the Demons immeasurably during the difficult years of the 70s and early 80s.

Graham’s nephew Colin Graham did make it to Melbourne and played 35 games (32 goals) between 1975-78.
