Quote "Old Man Rivers"
"We had an aboriginal kid in the 70's that promised the world - Colin somebody or that may have been
his surname."
Colin Graham was a very talented aboriginal left-footer. I saw him in Adelaide in the rooms before the game v. the Crows in 2004,wishing "Flash" all the best. Presumably he still has an interest in the Demons, but lives over there.He'd been in a "good paddock"!
He played 35 games for the Demons from '75 to '78 after beig recruited from Kyabram(originally from Penola).

Robbie Walters.....9 goals in a game........to prison?
Yep, Rhino, that was Nick Carter out there against Sandy on Sat. Didn't go too badly, either.
And "Dirty" Dave Williams....if only we'd played him in the '87 prelim...yes, he captain-coached Rochester(where we got him from) to a premiership. What a handpass to Gazza at VFL Park for the winning goal in the(?)88 final v.WCE.

They won't have any trouble with Vin Couttie. His(?great)grand-daughter, Jill Spargo, is married to the MCC Committee member, and keen MFC man, Stephen Spargo. Her brother Leigh Couttie is also a keen MCC/MFC man.
