The 'Who Am I?' Thread

I reckon Twodogs will get this in no more than 30 seconds

You've got me.

[GVGjr]

You've got me.

We have both mentioned him previously on here.

[GVGjr]

Is it time for more clues? Given he never played for us it might have slipped under the radar.

Yes please. I'm trying to think of nil trades. Lachie Veale?

It had to be many years ago. Before Veale I would think.

Yes it was a while back and certainly before the Veale deal.

A few more thought starters:

I was originally from country Victoria and was drafted by an interstate team
12 months later I was traded back to the Dogs as part of a deal (that might be an area to focus on)
The Dogs had some mild interest in me 12 months earlier but I was gone early in the draft

[azabob]

I want to say Luke Trew?

[GVGjr]

I want to say Luke Trew?

Good call and spot on. What gave it away?

[azabob]

The comment around mild interest 12 months earlier. I vaguely remember a newspaper article with a picture of a whiteboard and a heap of names on there, and his name was one of them.

[Eastdog]

You're up azabob.

Nicely done. Would never have guessed that.

Great memory. In 95 we had the Age go through all our draft preparation with the recruiting team and Trew was a possibility at pick 29 albeit the last of the guys we had on the whiteboard.

I think Trew was a bit overwhelmed by being moved interstate from Country Victoria and struggled with the transition. By the time he got to us he just wasn't ready. The Bombers listed him as a supplementary type player but he never took his chances.

I always thought it was strange to see us get a player and basically give up on him within a few months.

[azabob]

My first and last name start with the same letter.
Within four years I was out of the system.

Who am I?

[Eastdog]

Good question azabob. Got to get those thinking caps on.
