1991 U/19 Premiership Team

[Devil Fish]

It is beyond me that from our 1991 Premiership side only Archer & McKernan forged decent senior careers at NM.
Hardwick went on to be more than serviceable for the Dons. How we let him slip thru is also beyond me. Surely Pagan would've loved this guys crash & bash attitude.
But guys like Anning, Daniltchenko, Lissenden, McNamara, A McCarthy, A Venner & DeMamiel just couldn't cut the mustard.

Didn't the duck or horse play that year?

Nah they were in the ones by then, Horse kicked 98 or 99 goals in 1990.

Cool, Gee the farmyard animals were good

Schimmelbusch gave Hardwick his marching orders at the end of '91, and Pagan (who had become Essendon reserves coach) snapped him up for the Bombers. Tim McGrath was another one that we let go, and he became Geelong's CHB through the 90s.

But guys like Anning, Daniltchenko, Lissenden, McNamara, A McCarthy, A Venner & DeMamiel just couldn't cut the mustard.

Daniltchenko was the one that never made the most of his ability. He looked like a star in the making during his time with the under 19s and reserves, but he never got set in the seniors. We eventually traded him to Hawthorn, where he promptly did his knee, and that ended his career.

Correct Shinboners.

I truly love Schimma but by Christ he butchered our list during his time.

We would have won 5 flags in the nineties if we had kept/developed the quality players we discarded.

Hardwick
McNamara
Lissenden
McGrath
B. Scholl
Kilpatrick
Pickering
Liberatore
Tudor

and Tudor wouldn't have kicked to Ablett ....still shattered all these years later

98 for the Coleman. Daicos needed 4 in the GF to get above him but only managed 2.

If he'd kicked them, it would've been similar to Azza's non mark of the year.

 

[Rooboy 96]

DeMamiel was the one I picked to be a superstar... a young SOS but he was traded to Fitzroy (part of the Blakey deal) and the lack of discipline there never helped him reach his potential...

2 goals 7 behinds in the last home and away... would have been the youngest player ever to kick a ton...

 

[King Corey]

Even Kris Barlow and Craig Ellis (both ex North u19s) were handy players in the 90s.

Daniltchenko was the one that never made the most of his ability. He looked like a star in the making during his time with the under 19s and reserves, but he never got set in the seniors. We eventually traded him to Hawthorn, where he promptly did his knee, and that ended his career.

Already had knee trouble at North which was made worse when he wasn't right and Pagan pushed him to play in round 2 '97 when Carey was gone. Didn't get back after that until the final against St Kilda and we shopped him around at the end of the year, but no one wanted to trade for him and he was delisted. Hawthorn then drafted him and his knee continued to get worse there.

Pagan definitely contributed to him not making the most of his career.

I reckon you might find it was 2 goals 8 behinds. Zondor & I were at that game at Arctic Park & it just killed us watching those behinds sail thru. And to rub salt into the wounds, we hop in the car & the commentators were praising Ronnie McKeown's game because he held Longmire to 2 goals!!!!!

2 goals 8 behinds. DF is on the money.

I also sat through every kick, out at Waverley, as we got flogged by the Pies.

Controversially too. We we 5 or so goals up at 3/4 time and the Tigers stormed back to within 5 points and had huge momentum. But the siren went at the 25 minute mark of the final quarter and we won. Turned out the timekeepers completely stuffed up and pressed the siren 4 minutes early.

I remember watching that at the time. I think the quarters were 25 mins plus time on back then & so to have the siren blow at the 25 min mark was a huge balls-up.

Add to that list Adam McCarthy - i thought he had huge potential,im pretty sure he won that years B&F in 1991 - meaning the was the last player to win the u19 B&F at North before they scrapped it - he also was the last North player to be traded to Fitzroy before they went as well.
A career choice as a chiropractor made him quit footy.

Johnny MacNamarra...where is he now? Raping some poor country club no doubt.

Yeah, Adam McCarthy had huge potential, as did the big T-rex in J Mac.

Lissenden - We couldn't do much about him. A very talented player but his wanting to live in the bush was stronger than his want to play AFL football. Pagan eventually convinced him to come back in 1996, and although he played ok in a friday night game against Carlton (kicked a goal and outpositioned Silvagni twice), too much water had gone under the bridge (physically, speed of the game) and he headed home again.

Brad Sholl - He came good at Geelong but it must've been the arse kicking he needed because he was rubbish at North. Couldn't get a game and when he did was forgettable. I don't have too many complaints about Robert Scott either.

Tudor - Played a couple of ok games for Geelong but was no real loss.

WATCH IT! Johnny's a good bloke that still follows the club.

Played at Kilsyth last year.

.

I can tell you one thing about J Mac - I spent a New Years Eve with him years ago down at Anglesea & he had the physique of an Adonis (not the wrestler Adrian Adonis, but the Greek God Adonis). He & Lissendon were like the Twin Towers of the Under 19's back then. I still have a Duncan Fearnely cricket bat signed by J Mac, with the quote "Keep it real DF".

you could be right... it was a long time ago... I still can not get over how every forward thrust seemed to go through Johnny... North as a team tried their hardest to get him over the line...

Yeah that was good to watch. Seeing the old ground back in its day (its last day to be precise) was good. Not much of a crowd there looked like there would of been lucky to have been 10,000.

Good to see some of the old names Phil Krakouer, Kym Hodgemen, Ross Glendinning, Keith Grieg, Steve McCann, John Holt, Peter German.... the list go's on.
