Stephen Connelly (granted only 1 or 2 decent years)
Greg Edwards (Another supremely talented and entertaining player)
Stewie Dew (Oozed natural ability and even as a teenager you could see this bloke was destined for big things)


No. Knobs on the field. Every "club" DOESN'T think the same.

Peter Krieg was the one I remember from the old days, very good player, raking left footer with great skills.

Rene Van Dommelle (sp?) and Peter Vivian close second and third.

sorry but every club DOES wish they had players like The Gowans'. Maybe some individuals don't but that's to be expected. It's no coincidence that We started winning Grand Finals when These two turned up.

who knows mate, but they're knobs (on field). Good players from the limited amount I've seen of them but they spoil it by being knobs.

They certainly are not up there with "favourites" for sure.

I've always said, I wish Glenelg had taken one and one only of the Gowans boys.

Purely 'coz I'd love to see them line up on each other. :twisted:

Sturt would have taken then in a heartbeat and Gadj would now talk about them in glowing terms. They are simply magnificent players on the field and what they bring to the club beyond their playing skills is massive.

You are living in absolute fantasy land if you think Sturt wouldnt love to have 2 players like the Gowans at their club whether their knobs or not they get the job done, maybe thats why we have been taking the pi55 for the last ten years because other clubs are too worried about being nice people.

hope it makes you feel good that your football team is 5hite but they act properly on a football field, f**k that win games of football is all i care about.
