Interesting find...

Was flipping through an old 1998 footy record this afternoon and read about the curtain raiser for the R16 Crows vs Carlton game at Footy Park was SA Under 16's vs Norwood Under 17's.

Some of the big names playing in this included Shaun Burgoyne, Alan Didak, Kane Cornes, Tom Wigley, Cain Ackland, Micheal Stevens and wearing number 25 on his back for SA Under 16's.... Benny Rutten.

I wonder if he made a beeline for a certain number for guernsey allocation day at the crows

nothing worse than a thread with no replies, so i have an observation. All most all of those players have turned out to be duds or disappointments.

Shaun Burgoyne- cant play in the middle, nothing special. Seems to have gone backwards.

Alan Didak- easily the best of the lot, unrealised potential though. May be a 'dud' if he doesnt realise it.

Kane Cornes - tagging, hardworking midfielder, with zero hurt factor. Ten million posi's but not much else. Almost a dud.

Tom Wigley- dud

Cain Ackland- dud/ might make it. Still a dud though

Micheal Stevens - dud. Short, small and not quick (skippy)


and look we somehow got the best of the lot (depending of didaks improvement)

Benny Rutten.

So it turned out not too badly.

Give me Kane Cornes the "almost dud" in my side anytime!
