J.Brown was a 3 premiership player at the age of 21. After the age of 22 he never got close to another grand final and played in one finals series after that.Joel Selwood had 3 premierships by the time he was 23.
Vic Richardson too. Captained the Test cricket team, three time Sturt Premiership player and Magarey medalist, represented South Australia and Australia at baseball and won a state tennis title.You can add Laurie Nash here also.
Honestly one of the worst players I have ever seen live. Sat and watched him literally run around in a circle for 30-40 seconds one game. No idea wtf he was doing or how he manages to stay in the game so long.Dan Currie hung around for years..
Albert (Leeter) Collier was 21 when he played in his 4th consecutive premiership side. He also won the Brownlow at 20. At the height of the Great Depression in 1931 (the year after his 4th flag) he moved to Captain-Coach a side in Tasmania for two years. He returned to the 'Pies in 1933 and went on to win 2 more premierships in '35 and '36. One of the all-time greats.J.Brown was a 3 premiership player at the age of 21. After the age of 22 he never got close to another grand final and played in one finals series after that.
He did get paid a s**t load of money to stay up in Brisbane though, so I wouldn't feel too sorry for him.
First bloke I thought of. Must also mention Vic Cumberland. Played his first game for Melbourne in 1898, had 4 separate stints at St Kilda, with time in South Australia, New Zealand and World War 1 in between. Was 43 when he played his last league game.Billy James.
Won a country GF week before the VFL GF, selected by Richmond, never having played for the club, kicked the sealing goal for the Tigers first premiership.
1 game, 1 premiership.
Never played VFL again.
The story was his career with Richmond ended because he went home and shot himself in the foot in a hunting accident.
Not quite true as explained here;

Had it off with the Queen's sister too.
Yeah, but what a unit!Majak Daw.
Got found out tactically as a forward, doesn't have the tank to play ruck, and now at 27 years of age and with 9 years on the list he is "learning" to play as a second up pick off defender.
