back to the Dockers story has me wondering how many notable players have left club A gone to club B and then went back to club A.

The big 2 I can think of are >

Eddie Betts- Blues > Crows > Blues.
Gary Ablett Jnr- Cats > Suns > Cats.

Both those turned out OK, what are some others and how did they perform on their return?

The most successful return?
The biggest disaster return?

The biggest disaster return?

Definitely Beams.

 

[Proper Gander]

Carl Ditterich

True!

Unusual story though in that he was a Saints man first I think? Then kind of went on a switcheroo career later back and forth.

I think what I really want to say is thanks for providing an example but it strangely just makes me sad
