Michael Reeves, David Ackerley.

Interesting that I've nominated Ackerley for the forgotten list yet he was probably our biggest name recruit from another VFL club during the 1980's.....
 
We've seemed to do a good line in recruiting Footscray duds over the years:

Ian Dunstan
Bill Berry
Greg Eppelstun
Keenan Reynolds

And lest we forget, perhaps the finest of them all....

Fun fact: When you search Google Images for "Sam Power + NMFC" it comes up with pics of Gibbo.

Even Google are a bunch of ignorant Gibbo-ists. :thumbsdown:
 
Had a good chat with Dempsey the other day. Him and his family are Bulldogs supporters. Doesn't think much of the modern game.

How's that gravelly voice of his holding up these days? I imagine he would have his heart back in ye olde days, and he'd be far from alone in feeling that way too. What a mark that bloke was!

Ackerly was a very handy pick up. He was a dual B&F winner at the Swans - good effort for a back pocket.
