Andrew 'Buck' Rogers was a defender from South Australia who made his name at Geelong. Hailing from Port Pirie, Rogers played for Ridson in his junior days, and played 63 games for Woodville in the SANFL. He was drafted by Essendon on the back of a stellar 1987 season in which he earned the position of centre half-back in the All-Australian team, and played for South Australia in the State of Origin. But at Essendon he struggled to make the team regularly, playing only eight games in his only season for the club.
After the disappointing 1988, he moved to Geelong, where he stayed for four seasons, with his final game for the club being the 1992 Grand Final loss to West Coast. Following this, he returned to South Australia, and joined his now-merged club, Woodvillle-West Torrens. While there, he helped them to their first ever premiership in 1993, a year he also won their Best and Fairest for the first of three time (also in 1995 and 1996). He was also to take on the captaincy from 1995 until his retirement at the end of 2001. He has been inducted into the South Australian Football Hall of Fame.
