Lost players

[scottwade]

The official website has a list of players who they are trying to track down for the upcoming Swans anniversary dinner;

• David Brown
• Fred Campbell
• Robert Caprioli
• Michael Davis
• Gary Frangalas
• Brent Green
• Darryl Henderson
• John Hutton
• Michael Kennedy
• Tony Malakellis
• Peter Maloni
• Merv Neagle
• Mark Orchard
• Brett Page
• Mark Russell
• Malcolm Scott
• Anthony Sinclair
• Shayne Smith
• Mark Wall

I challenge any supporter to remember some of them.
If you feel like going, pretend you're Caprioli or Sinclair. I'm sure no one else will recognise them.

I don't know what the family situation is like, but considering Jay Neagle (on the Essendon list) is Merv's son, perhaps a call to the Dons mightn't go astray.

Whenever I see Fred Campbell's name I always think of Jamie Lawson. Both small Aborigine speedsters, but Jamie is a lot more fondly remembered.

Campbell, Hutton, Green, Orchard... now that takes me back a few years.....

Me too. Although I can only really remember Orchard playing regularly (didn't we get him as part of the Rocca defection package form Collingwood?). Brent Green I only remember as a reserves player who struggled his way to a handful of appearances.

I remember Brent Green. Big lump of a lad, I think he made his debut with Brett O'Farrell against Geelong when we absolutely thumped them in front of a full house. Kicked a couple of goals too. Retired in his 20s to become a farmer.

That'd be him. Huge man. Chockers with potential. But never really took to the AFL way of life. Can just picture him in a paddock tossing around bales of hay one handed.

Can't help but think how many BAD picks we had with our recruiting judging by some of the names that were supposed to be "potential stars" in that list.

I remember how Shayne Smith was going to be a champion.

Jon Hutton was going to be a big goal scorer. He was..................but only when he played against us!!!

Hehehe..............

Shayne Smith is renound for having a very short fuse, both before, during and after his AFL carrer.

On the other hand I would like to think the only reason Merv Neagle is not rememberd is because were too young, the guy would have a fair few games for us and the bombers combined. l

O'Farrell!!! There's another one! He was like Adrian McAdam, a one season wonder!
