[master bate]

Remarkable effort, and we could of had Tivendale or Chad Fletecher with our second pick. Just wondering if Luke Williams counts as a senior player though.

Who was our recruiter back then/who were our development coaches, because they did a really good job.

 

[demonfan9]

Don't know.

Walsh and Ward were handy.

Bishop was traded to Port Adelaide and was good there.

Williams and Beams were crap, and James Caan should've stuck to acting.

 

[Deenamite]

Only thing Luke Williams will ever come first in.

 

[saj_21]

Ward walsh and Bishop all serviceable players bishop premiership player for port.

Other good names there Johnson rioli to essendon chad flecthcer to eagles lockyer collingwood tivendale richmond
