He was only mini drafted to us BP and left once he wasn't on the crows list.

We got more out of him than wiggins though.

Yeah, I though I remembered some connection to the Crows somewhere there...

James Ezard would have to be on the opposite end of the scale, he has been great for you guys since being delisted by the Power...

Sturt haven't made too many mistakes in this area, but they made a doozy with Wayne Johnston.

The day at Prospect in the Reserves when he stormed off the ground, tore off his jumper and went marching through the crowd to the rooms was one of the odder sights I've seen in the last few years.

Surely someone has to mention Megan Gale's boyfriend here?

And Earl Shaw too.

I only stated O'Connor & Cupido as ???

I NEVER said they were a waste of money.

Why is it that there are 'people' quick to 'fire the gun'? :roll:

I simply asked a question!

Wiggins was laughable. Still remember him nearly jumping the fence at Richmond to have a go at a Port supporter who called him a waste of space after a touchless first half.

For Port...Alvey would have to top the list, closely followed by Pickett, Chris Curcio, Shane Crothers and Nick Raines.

I reckon he finished the season playing in one of the leagues in the South East.

Wes Fellowes was another, turned out to be a big dud. I recall getting excited when we signed Jason Love in the early 90's, don't think he finished up playing a game, may not have even moved to Adelaide.
