His first two years at Collingwood were very good.He came second at the club for kicks in one of those years and might have even come top 3 in the B&F in what was a pretty weak Collingwod team.Aquamarinejewel said:Tyson Lane 1995-1996 played 11 games for us..then went to Collingwood, I don't think he played many more games there? Anyone know?

Kicked 6 against St Kilda at Moorabbin on one occasion.H Dolphin said:Going back a bit and relying on the recollections of a very young boy, in the early '60's big Rod Coutts came to the club from Kaniva. In an early game he took a couple of big grabs over a pack from behind and we all thought we had a gun full forward to match Doug Wade.
Jean Claude Vas Deferens said:Neil Bristow. Great call LocalYokel. He kicked a goal after the siren at the Western Oval against the Hawks & we won by a point. Kelvin Templeton held out Kelvin Moore and shepherded the ball through on the line. The Sun newspaper had a centespread feature on the game that was stuck up on my bedroom wall for a number of years after that! ( Probably the poster that you mentioned Gohard.) Pretty sure he wore the number 18.
localyokel said:. I think that Mick Conlan kicked 9 goals in the second half and most of those are burned in my memory as well.
Spiritof82 said:Every game we played against Fitzroy, Conlan would always kick a bag of goals (and would always have Brian or Neil Cordy playing on him).

localyokel said:Except for R22 1983. Brian Cordy run down Conlan as he ran into an open goal. It was just after half time and it turned the game on it's head. We outscored Fitzroy into a gale and then ran over them in the last. The story goes that when we were 4 goals down at half time a guy from eastcoast jeans walked into the change rooms and plonked a paper bag with $7,000 cash in it on a massage table and said "Win the game and it goes into the trip fund boys". Eastcoast had already promised a cash bonus of $21,000 if we won the last three games.
I think it paid for the infamous trip to Bangkok later that year.

John Reilly. Occupation... Nuclear Physicist. I'm fair dinkum. Should've drafted Homer!
Of the rest, I quite liked Darryl Griffen. ( Great surname!) Hard at the ball and he wore the number 29... loved Neil Cordy!!!
localyokel said:Phil Bradmore kicked 3 goals in a quarter against Fitzroy at the Junction Oval. I can still see him taking a half volley, the fitzroy fullback Lawrie Serafini falling over and Bradmore running into an open goal just before half time. I think that Mick Conlan kicked 9 goals in the second half and most of those are burned in my memory as well.
The other thing I remember about Bradmore is that he came from Finlay like Spiderbait and Shane Crawford and he had the #18 just before Simon Beasley.
Godwin Fot said:I remember that too, but did this not happen in the last quarter? If Cordy did do this in the second, he also did in the last as I clearly recall Conlan running towards the Barkly Steet end goals and just about to drop the ball to his boot when Toby intervened. If he had of kicked this it would have got Fitzroy back on track. However Brian Cordy's tackle stopped Conlan in his tracks and it prevented them regaining the initiative.
Beasley kicked a goal after the siren in this game with thousands on the field.
The TV crews attended this match to see a former Footscray player boot his 100th for the season. But he didn't and it was Collingwood at the Junction the following week for BQ and his ton.
No need to be sorry, as how many others on here would recollect the Conlan/ Cordy passage of play? I'm glad to know you saw it and remember it. I just seem to believe it occured in the middle or late part of the last quarter and he was definitely going to the Barkly Street end goals.localyokel said:My mind's eye has him running towards the Barkly street end. Your memeory for detail is better than mine so I'll defer to you on this one. It was the week after the big comeback at Morrabbin when Williams kicked the winner wasnt it?
Top thread.ErnieSigley said:Maybe these players should be separated in two categories.
eg 1 Players that had talent but squandered it and 2 players with not a lot of ability but gave there all.
I'd put Phil O'Keefee in 2 and Daniel Hargraves in 1.
I thought we got Brad Wira for Hargraves (and maybe Hugh Riemers in a round-about way)Sedat! said:Daniel Hargraves was a real waste of talent. He could really play, but the hooch proved too much of a lure. At least we ended up getting Matt Robbins out of a complicated trade when we let Hargraves go to Freo.

We gave up 3 draft picks for Robbins. Joel McKay, James Rahilly and Justin Wood from memory.
