I did not know Dundas but he is not the player in question-although he may well have been a crazy guy.

It actually doesn't sound that silly to me. It can get damn hot during pre-season in Melbourne.

Both brilliant guesses but the player in question showed up late to an under 19 grand final as he had lobbed at waverly and did not realise that for over 100 years the G.F was at the M.C.G.When he went to get changed he realised he only had one boot.Went on and played over 200 league games with about 3 different clubs.

Spot on Fat Pizza-none other than Glen 'Galaxy' Coleman also known as 'Gomer'.As to why he had the rubber boat I have no idea-he was just different.
