Cropley and Northcott certainly played league, I don't know about Whyatt.

Northcott left Port after the 1974 and went to West Perth where he played in the 1975 premiership, I don't know what happened to him after that.

All of them played league football except Paul, but none of them played many games. At first I thought Paul may have played a game or 2 but can't find any record of it.

After Colin Northcott left West Perth, he played for Wanneroo from (1979-82) in the West Australian Football Association, one of 2 Sunday competitions that were around at the time. In 4 years there, he topped the competition leading goalkickers with total of 97,132, 90 and 157. He also won the competition F & in 1982 when he kicked 157.
He also didnt play in the 1975 premiership with WP. The side is shown below:
Backs: L O’Dwyer G Taylor L Halley
Half-backs: G Hendriks L McGuinness R Prunster
Centres: R Aitken M Whinnen S Hillier
Half-forwards: S Smeath B Adamson B Day
Forwards: N Knell R Wilson L Fong
Ruck: W Dempsey A Watling S Sheridan
Reserves: P Steward L Heal
He did make up for it by playing 4 in a row with Wanneroo.

Gary Wyatt played just six league games for Torrens and then came to Sturt where he didn't crack it for a league game.

interesting stuff, i would have thought that at least one of them would have gone on to make their mark in senior footy. what about paul for south, anyone got any info on him? s'pose we need to find a panther suppporter first

Did Rick Vidovich also kick a ton for Central's thirds?
I also have a hazy memory of someone else kicking the ton for Central's thirds, was it Wyley?

Yep, Wyley in 1970.

Thanks AH. Vidovich certainly played League but I can't recall if Wyley did. His first name might have been John I think.

John Wyley played a lot of league football. He played a number of seasons and would have played in excess of 100 games I would think. He didn't play a lot of league footy at FF, he played mainly a HF/ruck rover type of role for memory.

Yeah, that rings a bell now, a ruck rover maybe.
