That I guess was during his time coaching?I was privileged enough to have the Big Cat come to our school back in the first year I was there to reach us the art of handball (St. Joey's).
He was exceptional.
Yet, how unbelievable that he is (arguably) not even our best #5 ever.
Just started reading his book did it tough in his childhood,That I guess was during his time coaching?
Ah hadn't allowed of primary school.No, Bobby Davis was coach, about 1967, iirc. May have been 1966. Primary school started grade 3 at Joey's back then. He was like a giant.
I'm outta here if this is going to become another Varcoe thread.
Wasn't he a North Melbourne player ?Anderson, Brady
Sorry yes. I am working with large data sets and sometimes a few players slip through the cracks. Thanks for picking this one up!Wasn't he a North Melbourne player ?
He did play reserves for Geelong in 1996 after being drafted at the end of 1995. He returned to WA and won the Sandover Medal in 1997, before ending up at North Melbourne, where he did manage to play senior football.Wasn't he a North Melbourne player ?

"A small, burrowing rover" according to the Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers.
These are the ones I know off the top of my head:Hi everyone,
I am undertaking a PhD and am on the search for some data, specifically player positions. Most of this info is easily accessible however, finding player positions for players drafted in the early-mid nineties and who either didn't play a senior game or didn't play many has proven quite difficult!
I am using quite broad positional categories (mid, fwd or def) and while many players are moved around various positions I am looking for the position where they spent the majority of time. Please see below a list of Geelong past players who I need positions for. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Courtney

Apparently!:- http://www.afana.com/netpaper/oct20-58082.htmlAh yes he did.Is he the one who went on to be a personal trainer and one of his clients was Elle MacPherson ?
On a somewhat more serious note, I'm puzzled to see that the Geelong website still lists Tommy Smith as having played senior football for the club:-Ah yes he did.Is he the one who went on to be a personal trainer and one of his clients was Elle MacPherson ?
Denis Marshall....one of the best we've had. A great player.
You know who the old farts are when they can remember players of Dennis Marshall's era.
Not that I can remember that.
Uhmmm....my granny told me.....can I go out and play now?
Didnt we draft some guy with pick 1 called Steven hooper or something? Played something like 20 games. Id say he'd be the worst.I heard the David Ugrinic get a mention on SEN today ... apparently fell of a cliff and broke his jaw while at Geelong ... always wondered why he never played a game. P13 in 1993 ..if we drafted someone now with P13 and they didn't play a game ... Id say the members would be after blood.. we must have been a bit more relaxed back then while Gazza was kicking goals.
Would he be our biggest fail? since the inception of the draft?
Steven Hooper has to be right up there, if not, No.1 biggest fail!! No.1 Draft Pick in 1990, and IIRC our only ever No. draft pick.I heard the David Ugrinic get a mention on SEN today ... apparently fell of a cliff and broke his jaw while at Geelong ... always wondered why he never played a game.

You just beat me to that by a minute!!Didnt we draft some guy with pick 1 called Steven hooper or something? Played something like 20 games. Id say he'd be the worst.
