Ron De Iulio has his name on a locker at Carlton. He held his own, by far away there's 100 shittier Blues I'd have above him.

100 games and shortlisted for the Italian team of the century.

I never saw the guy play, so I can't have a say really.

Don't know if you guys are old enough..?

There was a guy called Jacko, many years ago.

My memory sees him in red and white but that could be way off.

Was it Mark Jackson...? :-? :lol:

Mark Jackson did play for about 4 or 5 teams,was a good player but better known for his entertainment,hilarious to watch.Like Akermanis didnt make friends at his clubs and was quickly moved on.Previous page someone stated Adam Saliba remember Mick Nunan saying the Jarman brothers and Saliba had the most talent in his time of coaching at North Adelaide.

Again, took some great marks. Wasn't a great player but not worth mentioning here.


If Media Park's original qualification of a semi-decent run is used, Fiora probably doesn't belong on this thread as this fairy got a far-more-than-decent run. Thank christ Woodville-West Torrens didn't rescuit him when he was delisted. Luke Jarrad is not my favourite Eagles player compared to Powell, Lewis, etc, but he is at least 5 times as tough as this bloke.


See, I understand he's not tough etc but there is no doubting he had ability.

Highlights such as:

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMXdfzsg ... re=related

Yeah, wasn't a number three draft pick but was far from the top 10 worst AFL footballers ever, surely.

Sure, maybe not in the worst ten ever, but still has me staggered how two clubs saw enough there for him to play 140 games. But I suppose that is 140 more than me ;)
