Opinion Champions at one club who had a short stint at another

[efcboy]

surely the most famous and controversial of all was ron barassi from melbourne to carlton.

 

[alinghi]

Darren Jarman, Paul Barnard and Brad Scott were all Hawks before moving on to the clubs where they forged their names.

Jarman was originally a Bear, no?

Also:

Chris Judd - West Coast > Carlton (at this stage, 2 years at Carlton is a short stint )

Daniel Bandy - Champion at Perth, brief stints at Freo and Footscray

 

[Supermercado]

Jarman was originally a Bear, no?

Darren was drafted to Melbourne and never came over, Andrew was drafted to the Bears.

 

[krisholio14]

Ross Glendinning Playing a couple of seasons as Eagles skipper after his decorated career at North would count wouldn't it?

Bruce 'The Prez' Lindner's another

Brad Hardie would prbably also count, his stint at the Dogs was short, then a half dozen seasons at the Bears, before a very short spell at the Pies.

 

[krisholio14]

Stewy Dew - Port Premiership player then won one at the Hawks
Mathew Clarke and Mark Mickan went from Brisbane to Adelaide

Am i right in saying Mark won B&F's both clubs?

No.

First captain of the Bears, but never B&F, first B&F of the Crows, but never captain.

[melbournemartin]

Nathan Bassett was originally on Melbourne's list.

Shannon Grant (Sydney, North Melbourne)
Anthony Rocca (Sydney, Collingwood)

I actually found an old newspaper (paper copy, not online) from the mid 90s which talked about the BATTLE OF THE ROCCAS in a pies vs swans game.

 

[spina#39]

One I remember, mainly from watching the 2004 GF on ONE a few days ago was Josh Mahoney, who had a season each at the Dogs and the Pies and playing for the Power 5 years later.

A few others I can think of..

Matt Primus
Cam Mooney
Tom Harley
Nathan Eagleton

 

[Rattlesnake]

Plugger!!!!

 

[BLPC08]

Shane O'Bree (Brisbane to Collingwood)
Darren Bennett (West Coast to Melbourne)
Jason Heatley (West Coast to St.Kilda)
Andy Lovell (Melbourne to West Coast)
Nick Daffy (Richmond to Sydney)

Mick McGuane
Mick Martin
Michael Mansfield
Steven O'Rielly

[Generalissimo]

Ken Hinkley, Brad Sholl and Tim McGrath.

Lindsay White started his career with Geelong. Went to South Melbourne for two seasons during WWII because the Cats couldn't compete in those years, and then went back to Geelong when they rejoined the competition.

And didn't John Rantall drag himself through a season with the Roys just so he could get the games record?

Paul Salmon is an interesting one. He was a champ at Hawthorn and came out of retirement for a short stint at Essendon, but that was his second go with the Dons.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Fitzroy in the late 70s/early 80s collected quite a few stars in their twilight years.

Len Thompson, John Rantall, Max Richardson, Larry Donohue, John Cassin, Kevin Higgins and Robert Walls plus several other lesser-lights donned the red, blue and gold as their careers drew to a close.

Meanwhile club stalwarts like John Murphy and Warwick Irwin looked for greener pastures elsewhere.

 

[Denty]

Greg Williams...Champ at two clubs (Carl and Syd), but brief stint at Geelong!

 

[PooMonkey]

I cannot believe in this whole thread no one has mentioned \......


Dermott Brereton.....

Hawks Champ 7 day 7 night grand finals!!!

to

Collingwood and Sydney!!! hahaha

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wayne Carey was pretty good for North. A gentlemen's agreement between he and north allowed Carey to finish as a Crow.

 

[krisholio14]

Fitzroy in the late 70s/early 80s collected quite a few stars in their twilight years.

Len Thompson, John Rantall, Max Richardson, Larry Donohue, John Cassin, Kevin Higgins and Robert Walls plus several other lesser-lights donned the red, blue and gold as their careers drew to a close.

Meanwhile club stalwarts like John Murphy and Warwick Irwin looked for greener pastures elsewhere.

They also fit into this criteria.

John Murphy had 2 seasons at South and 2 at North "(Or was it 3 at South, 1 at North?) after 10 at Fitzroy, While Warwick Irwin left for Collingwood in 1981, but by 1983, he was back on the Lions list for one final season.

 

[Generalissimo]

Geoff Ablett had short stints at Richmond and St Kilda after his long career at Hawthorn.

Matty Lappin established his career at the Saints then crossed over to Lygon street for nine years.

Essendon premiership player Ricky Olarenshaw went to Collingwood for a year before shifting to North for a year and then retired.

Jason McCartney played over 100 games with North but played for both Collingwood and Adelaide prior to his seven seasons at Arden Street.

Sydney legend Stuart Maxfield played 89 games with the Tigers before heading to the harbour city.

Former Port Adelaide skipper Matthew Primus played 20 games for the Fitzroy before the Power snapped him up after the Roys' demise.

Essendon's Mark Johnson played out his last year with the Dockers in 08.

8th on Freo's all time games list, Troy Cook started as a Swan.

200-game star Demons ruckman Jeff White played 32 games for the Dockers.

All Australian Tigers full back Darren Gaspar began his career with the Swans.

The outrageous Warwick Capper booted over 300 goals for Sydney but also played 34 games with the Bears.

[stmookeyj]

Just a few that I can remember

FROM DOGS

- Bernie Quinlan (went to Fitzroy in 77)
- Barry Round (first game was Whitten's last, went to South/Sydney)
- Brian Wilson (victim of the infamous Royce Hart Flemington Time Trial, went to Melbourne then short stint at St.Kilda)
- George Bisset (2nd in a brownlow, long stint here before going to Collingwood)
- Simon Atkins (nearly 9 seasons at the Dogs coalface, then cleared to Fitzroy after Joyce got the coaching gig)
- Kelvin Templeton (flourished under Royce Hart, then did his knee in 82 before he could combine effectively with Simon Beasley. Cleared to Melbourne where he did SFA).
- Jim Edmond (captain in our 85 finals campaign, contract dispute saw him head north to Sydney for 86, then went to Brisbane in 87 where he clobbered Russell Morris at Carrara)

SHORT STINTS AT DOGS

- Already mentioned Nicky Winmar and Daniel Bandy
- Bernard Toohey (followed Hafey from Geelong to Sydney, won a goalkicking, had 2 years to finish at Dogs)
- Bruce Duperouzel (long at St.Kilda, few games for us in the 80's)
- Simon Minton-Connell (king of the Chest Mark, stints at Carlton where he was stuck behind Kernahan, Sydney where he did well and Hawthorn where he was insurance in case Dunstall broke down)
- James Cook (stuck behind Kernahan at Carlton, kicked 6 in THAT preliminary and missed 98 after trying to flatten Robert Scott in the Rd 22 epic against North, then went to Melbourne for a while)
- Terry Wallace (3 flags with Hawthorn, 1 dud year at Richmond in 87, then 3 effective years with us as a player)

 

[Supermercado]

Alan Ezard (hardly a champion, but compared to some of the people named in this thread...) was on Melbourne's books via zoning but after two training sessions we sold him to Essendon for $5k.

184 games and two flags later....

And one of the above list, Garry Baker played 20 games at Footscray and 127 at Melbourne including a B&F.

James Cook was unlucky with us. Kicked six in his second game, did his knee in his third.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Darren Millane at Hawthorn.
