    Draftee turned Biggest Interstate Sook

    I will be clearer now, name the players from VFL/AFL history that were just mopey sooks at their draft club. For example, Jeff White was such a sook at Freo and seemed to spend every second counting down until a return to Victoria, with seemingly no regard for the club who invested in him.

    I'm sure we've had a few, I think Nat Brown was originally from Richmond before Bendigo.

    Edit: To play for another club, not personal, health and/or family issues.

      The mystery disappearance of Jayden Schofield deserves an honourable mention

          Would you count Nathan Buckley in there?

          Couldn't get out of Brisbane soon enough.

              Good call... I would. And the quote of leaving to play in premierships trumps Brown's quotes when leaving us.

                                          Jon Riley.

                                          Came over from SA in 1984(?) Big name recruit. We even gave him a car as a signing on bonus. He played one game, jumped on the car and drove it back to Adelaide. We never heard from him again.
                                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                                  Tony McGuiness and Murray Rance.. With Callum Ward that's three captains of expansion clubs that started out with us.

                                                  And Barry Round.
