Andrew Browne, played about 30 games in 7 seasons at Fremantle.

Luke Webster, Scott Thornton, couple of other Freo players.

Bet he wouldn't have said that to
LEON BAKER. Now there was a strange but brilliant player.
No, didn't know that about Reid.

Actually I was wrong about that. Different player. Reid actually finished 1983 with us :0

I remember Daicos standing on his head for a screamer in the 1980 prelim.....

I have horrible memories of BOSUSTOW making Ian Nankervis look foolish in a final v Carlton, may have been that Sidey/ Clarke D day, but not sure. Didn't see the Daicos one.

How about Murray Whitcombe, the only player to be incorrectly named in not one but two series of Scanlens cards.

remember him well, we used to STAND by the race, Witcombe was a winger, #18 iirc, and saw a lot of his play. Back then, seats were a rarity.

How far back is your original post? I skimmed over the first 15 pages looking for Geelong ones, didn't spot yours.
Alby Mangels?

 

[krisholio14]

Here he is as Graeme Landy....

Then as Bryan Cousins......

but he did occasionally make an appearance as himself.....

I think you mean Alan

I should just scan my football card collection and put it up here, plenty of obscure Geelong names in amongst them.

better than relying on memory, starting to get brain pain.

Here's a prime example....

Played 2 games in the #44 jumper, and could be the only person in the history of the comp to have almost as many footy cards as games played lol

Steven 'God' Sziller

Good honest player for us in the late 90s that we recruited from SA along with his standard SA mullet but for some reason we offloaded him to Richmond, poor bastard.

I still miss him.

Mate, he's certainly not a forgotten player at Geelong.
He is a club legend, frequently mentioned in the same breath as Kent Kingsley.
