I just caught this on footygoss.com

The Western "Rewind" Derby looks likely to be played at Leederville Oval on 10 March 2006 between the inaugural 1995 West Coast and Fremantle teams.

A concept to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation the Western "Rewind" Derby will be see former greats from the 1994 West Coast Premiership team and the inaugural Fremantle Team lining up for a charity game.

Sounds like a great idea, but as for myself I was living in Rugby League territory in NSW and had no idea who the Fremantle Dockers were at the time of this. Does anyone have the team lists for the first derby? Were Parker and McManus involved in that game? I'd guess they would be omitted from this side if they were.

Here it is... not pleasant reading though.
Sorting out the 21 players...
those that had a decent career
Shaun McManus
Dale Kickett
Shane Parker
Matthew Burton
Jason Norrish

Those who's Freo career was cut short by injuries:
Scott Watters
Ben Allan
Peter Mann
Stephen OReilly

Those that showed some promise, but never really became stars
Scott Chisholm
Winston Abraham
Quenton Leach
Andrew McGovern

Those that really went nowhere (sorry guys)
Leigh Wardell-Johnson
Peter Miller
Phil Gilbert
John Hutton
Clinton Wolf
Craig Burrows
Greg Madigan
Neil Mildenhall

We were a bunch of kids who got beaten up that day by the reigning premiers.

Not really something to celebrate... can't we wait a few years and celebrate Rd 16 1999?

I'd suggest Stephen O'reilly had a great career which ended with a couple of seasons at Carlton as I recall.

The rest is pretty spot on except maybe for Winnie. I thing he played AFL for 5 or 6 years including the 99 premiership so I reckon that's a decent career.
