Guy Rigoni - Always thought he gave 110%. Then he had his injury issues (back from memory), seemed to be gone then came back to make the 100 games barrier.
Ox - For the player he could have been and for pushing over Sam Newman on the Footy show.
Watts - For being a top bloke who got lumbered with Neeld as a coach.
Tappscott - just looked like he could have been a Dusty Martin type with his build.
Dunny - for the mo and the torps.
Ray Biffen - Sold my dad a car.
Brad Miller - never knew which Brad would turn up, and he got Pia into the MFC Wag club.
Jack Trengove - for the same reason as Wattsy.
Stinger - Just because. Stupid glass door.
Trapper John - for making the game look easy when he could be bothered.
Colin Sylvia - As above and for destrying Richmond single handedly on numerous occassions.
Liam Jurrah - again for what he could have been if he had npot found the machette drawer.
And a real left field one to finish - CLint Bartram - One of the best tacklers I have seen sadly again struck down by injury.
DL.

I caught the train home from a Hawthorn match years back and shared a carriage with Paul Johnson who was on Hawthorns list at the time, and for whatever reason was catching the train home (was in suit with hawks tie so not playing), but was having a casual chat for a random hawks supporter about the game and the club, seemed like a genuinely nice bloke.Always thought Paul Johnson was going to be a gun ruck back in the day
Bernie Vince for picking on danger field
Watts for being so likeable
Dunn for making me laugh
A Nicholson for never giving up
Rod grinter for sticking up for his mates
Bowey, don't know I just seem barrack for him
Max for spewing on scully and owning Geelong
L Jackson for making all the we want young with p3 look silly
ANB for proving me wrong
Fritta, because opposition supporters seem to hate him
For obvious reasons
A jackovitch
The wizard
S Charles
Swartz
R Jackson
Oliver bang bang bang
Tracc o wow
Was more mobile than most big men of the same time, skills were reasonable but for all other reasons was very average at AFL level. It felt like he underachieved a bit.Always thought Paul Johnson was going to be a gun ruck back in the day

Yeah a lot of those players from the bailey/neeld years simply wrong team wrong time. Matt Jones is another that must be good mates with Gawn. He played in a premiership with south Croydon and apparently Gawn was there to support him.

Colin Sylvia...
My god man, what you could have been, I remember running into him at a members function and his brother early days having a great chat and he was grinning like the Cheshire cat. Later to find out his bottle of coke had been topped up by bourbon multiple times over. I loved what he could have become, He was the most naturally talented footballer I think we'd ever had. My mates and I used to call the extra curls and tri work at the gym "Col work" because it was useless but gave you big arms. He just didn't care about footy. He never cared. I loved him regardless. He was my #1 Melbourne player. He could have won a Brownlow. It wasn't to be. Instead he spent every weekend out at the clubs. I still didn't care, his talent was that good. I met him a few times since at supporter functions the club had run, he managed to make a career out of wasting his talent then popping up and pumping the sh*t out the Tigers, ever increasing my love for the man. I was absolutely shattered when he got traded, but understood he'd run his race at the Dees.
He was obviously already off the rails, but he wasn't one of the lucky ones like Cousins or whoever else the media had painted as lost causes. He dropped out of the system and unfortunately turned himself into a statistic.
During the grand final I had our much glorified 2012 team's signed jersey sitting in front of the TV. Down 19 points with all momentum against us, I once again turned to my favourite son, Colin Sylvia. I found his scribbled signature on the jersey and made a quick sacrifice at his altar. From that moment on I'd either used up every ounce of luck I'd ever command or he was smiling down on us. We kicked 100pts to 7 and absolute trounced the fu** out of those smug ******* Bulldogs campaigners and had one of the most dominant Grand Final wins I think I've ever seen in my life time.
I'd love to shake his hand and thank him for all he did for this footy club when we were well and truly a rabble, and for departing when it was his time. Unfortunately departing the Earth well before it was his time....
He had a big part in that 2013 comeback v GWS where we kicked 12 goals in the last.Appreciate a little tongue in cheek, but a cracking tribute to a man gone far too soon. Loved Col.
