TD RD 16 Thread

[magpiewarrior]

Dave, I know it's your thread but I need to pick your footy brain so topic seems irrelevant at the moment. I was having a discussion about speedster footballers and three from us came to mind but the only one of them that I could remember was Rhyce Shaw. The other two I can picture but I can't for the life of me remember their name. It's driving me f***ing crazy. The first is a kid the played on the wing for us before going to Essendon (where I think one of his forebears was a champion). He played at Essendon for a couple of years before becoming an umpire. The second was a midget, from East Fremantle I think, not unlike Scooter (Tony Francis) or Tony Buhargiar except that he was faster but couldn't steady before disposing of the ball. He was greased lightning but lacked a true footy brain just like the other two. Can anyone name these two? The one that became an umpire had the first name (I think) of Mark.

Mark Fraser on think. Cant help with the other one.

I'm pretty sure the first one was Mark Fraser...though i didn't know he became an umpire if it was him

We drafted a player from East Fremantle a few years ago called Leith Teakle. He was reasonably short, somewhere between Blair and Medhurst I'd say. He was super quick, I can't remember anything of his skills though as he spent most of his time at Collingwood injured.

The only other player I can think of that we took from East Fremantle is Lockyer, and I'm guessing you didn't mean him.

We also had a South Australian kid named Wasley a few years ago who was a real speedster but his disposal was enough to make you tear your footy record in half.

I am your father, Dave.

 

[Wooljay]

Neither of those teams of ours are our best 22 which is a bit disappointing.

 

[The Panther]

We will be playing for top spot. Hopefully

Leith was an excellent WAFL player, but probably not a Barlow/Pods standard.

In between the levels TBH.

I wasn't comparing him to those guys, just trying to guess the player magpiewarrior may have been thinking of in his earlier question. He fitted the bill as a fast, shortish player from East Freo that spent some time on our list.

Chris Tarrant mulling Magpies return

Tarrant married model Lauren Strauss in October last year and it is understood that the pair are keen to resettle in Melbourne, with four clubs, among them Carlton and his former club Collingwood, identified as suitable or desirable destinations. Tarrant spent the best part of a decade in Melbourne with the Magpies, met his Melbourne-born-and-raised wife in the city and his brother Robbie is currently playing with North Melbourne.

Scum can have him but also could play for North

Hahahaha, I wasn't comparing them either.

Being an East Freo supporter I was just commenting on how Leith probably wouldn't have ended up a Barlow/Pods story, even if the craze had started three or four years earlier.
