For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.
Possibly Mulligan - one I didn't notice on the field.
Just out of interest, for those who can remember what Bob Murphy looked like when first arrived at the dogs - nothing like a potential AFL player - just have peak at Henry White.
A very fast wingman from SA - you would never pick him as a footballer.
Hope the club can build up his body - Good luck to him.

Judging by those photos Reid has the potential to be huge. His frame is massive for a guy his age.
Terrific reports and photos, thanks a lot.
Seems like everything is going really well at the moment, very pleased to hear that Gia seems over his knee issues.
Great reports & photos.
Gia looks solid, nice to see. Williams is quite possibly Hulk in disguise, whilst Reid really looks impressive body wise.
How did Reid & Mulligan go in the match?
At the Wesley East-West training day a car in front of us pulled over by the side of the road and this young kid hopped out with a bag and ran across to the oval, while his mum took off to park. Thought it must have been a school student late for some sport training. After we'd parked and walked up to have a look at the boys I realised that it was White. He is very very skinny.
Thanks to all for reports and photos to all. Much appreciated.
Can't wait for this all to kick off.

AWESOME pics and reports guys....greatly appreciated....keep em coming.
Can't help with useful info on either - I actually thought Reid might have been Mulligan as he looked very tall (apparently 187cm) alongside the boxing coach (but they all do) and Gia - couldn't line 'him' up against Williams.
The players on the sidelines alternated between physio/boxing/bikes on the field, and training in the rooms, following printed routines.
The match was played at a very fast pace for all quarters (or possibly 'fifths') of about 10 to 12 minutes each. A number of players were either wearing the wrong numbers ('itsy-bitsy' Everitt wearing white 42 - with his hair cut), or no numbers on their singlets. That was before they swapped singlets during the match.
Furthermore, the match was played 'off centre', towards the outer - anything to confuse the few spectators.
In addition, we have;
- Peter Street being much more solid (refer to the photo of the ruck contest against Hudson, with the house in the background)
- Everitt looking like Skipper in body shape, height, and hair style, but wearing that dam #42 - in the same photo
- a slimmer Will Minson (occasionally being mistaken for one of the taller recruits - when his number was covered) or, as in the photo prior to the one mentioned above, thought there were 3 big bodied 'Wills' playing in the blue singlets.
I would recommend players have their numbers printed (large) on the back of their shorts.
Haven't answered your question, but hope I've been able to share some of the confusion I went through.
