Craig Burrows springs to mind.


Marty Whitelaw was sensational - played 1 game, I think his stats were - 0 kicks, 0 hballs, half a tackle and a bit of a paddle on out on the wing, and some kind of a shepherd in the second quarter.

North Adelaide actually paid quite a bit of cash for these two duds to come over and play for us.
If only this thread had been going a few years ago!!

Diesel and,
Brendan Fevola.

Anyone one of up to a dozen or so blokes that got games for St.Kilda around the 82-85 period or the Dogs a little earlier than that. Though the St.Kilda guys like Jobling... now there was a Jobber if ever there was one.

We've had plenty worse than Josh. He isn't even in top (or bottom) half dozen from '97 to '99. Someone mentioned dale Baynes and Danny Roach for starters.

Rhyce is still there. Probably on his last chance, but unlike plenty of other I haven't written him off yet. I hope he gets a few early games to show he has enough talent to persevere with. His pace could be an asset now that Adkins has been traded.

Nick Hyder Leo Sayer like. No muscle at all. No skills. "Good guy" though.

I personally didnt think Craig Burrows was all that bad i have a fair bit to do with him know through the family business and ive seen some footage and i remember him playing i thought he was pretty good for the dockers just out of luck with injury

David Gallagher (now delisted thank god)

I've heard wayne jackson allude to an additional penalty being imposed on carlton, that dwarfs draft losses, financial penalties.

The will be forced to retain david gallagher on their list for a period of 5 years

Darryl Poole - PAP

classic quote from john Cahill - D Poole is as important to us as wayne carey is to north melbourne - needless to say both cahill & poole were sacked soon after this comment.

The standing joke at work was the trivia question "
who is the greatest centre half forward of all time" - answer no not wayne carey, darryl poole.

his last match I believe had a blinder, one handball.

could always be counted on to use the defence of legal blindness in one eye when up at the tribunal, and it showed when he kicked for goal - remember the west coast match at AAMI.

Whats he doing now ? When he went back to Perth his back was fused or something. I know he was in a bad way.

He was!! He was!! I was so glad when we traded him to Carlton. I would have paid them to take him. He made the second worst player, David Bourke, look like a Rolls Royce on legs!!

Couldn't agree with you more.

Couple of others come to mind:

Laurence Angwin and Adam Richardson
