Rob Peterson made his debut as a 16 year old. Retired at about 23 to become a doctor. Kicked 7 against Geelong to help win one of our few games in'71. Gary Gray I think was in Bellbird,may be another Gary Gray.

I'm also old enough toremember Robbie Peterson debuting as a 16 year old- a rover I think. I also remember Mick Dowdle coming I think from Ovens and Murray, going back there and then returning under Barassi and playing in the 75 premiership
 
Micky Dowdle.
No. 11 and a winger I think. Beautiful left fook kick. represented NMFC on World of Sports champion kick (along with John Dugdale) for quite a few years. Good player in a lousy era.

Phil Ryan
No 19. About 6'4". Awkward type but could take a serious hanger and kick a few goals. Once we became a great team in the 70s his days were numbered.

Robbie Petersen
Skilfull, retired at 23 to become a Dr. Was a yard slow but very talented. Played his last game in the 1974 losing GF me thinks.

Johnny Moylan
All I remember of Moylan was his long hair and he was a good kick with both feet (not Maurice Boyce quality though). HBF'er I believe.

I think you are confusing Dowdle with Peter Chisnall.

I'm pretty sure Dowdle was done before Barassi's arrival.

Mick Dowdle didn't play in the '75 flag, think youre recalling Garry Farrant.
