Does Tim Walsh count?

Career stats: 1 games, 1 kick, 1 goal.

You do him an injustice, he had 2 kicks and one handball plus the goal

I always thought Peter Quill was going to be a bigger contributor than he actually was, and I can't actually remember why Jason Watts fell of a cliff after the 1996 season.

Needed to clear out of the kitchen to let the Captain Cook.

I don't think there has been a more enduring bromance than Comrade and Jarrad Boumann

No prizes for guessing that Cheesy Barlow was my all-time favourite fringe player. I was seat 1A on that bandwagon and there were always plenty of empty seats

Hehe - not after he was outmarked in the goal square by Chad Morrison at the WACA in that crazy game in 1998 when we kicked the first 8 goals and somehow were behind at 1/2 time.

I don't remember much of him, but he was a Parkside boy so - Zeno Tzatzaris

Late in the 1989 Brownlow Medal count, Zeno got the 3 votes in an 8 goal loss againat the Cats. Of course all eyes were on Paul Couch, who was near the top of the leaderboard, and Zeno's name was read out the entire room started laughing.

I was convinced, CONVINCED, Kieran Collins would be the second coming of Tits Kennedy and Brian Lake rolled into one.

Alas I wanted it more than he did.

Re: Favourite fringe bulldogs

I have to admit, even after he left us I hoped Shane Birss would kick on at St Kilda.

I still get the feeling he'd look back at his time in the AFL and could honestly say "I gave it everything". Poor guy battled depression post career when he was playing SANFL football (and by all reports, playing it well).

Re: Favourite fringe bulldogs

As a kid growing up it was Matthew Hogg, I even went as far as getting #43 on my back.

The one I was most vocal about was Patrick Bowden. Seemed to have the world at his feet talent wise, I guess application wise not so much.

Old Skipper. Saw those 5 goals and thought maybe, just maybe, he can be our forward ruck.

Brennan Stack (a-go-go) was a fun ride while it lasted.

My favourite Skipper moment is not the 5 goals, but an at-the-death mark and goal against StKilda in 2007 for what (We thought) was the winning goal after a late game comeback.

Sadly, about a minute later, Jason Gram managed to hit Nick Riewoldt 50 out with a 60 metre kick while Roo was running back with the flight of the ball. (Its one of the most impressive marks I've seen live, to be fair).

The resulting kick went through for a behind, and Jordan McMahon had barely kicked it in to himself before the siren rang with the scores level.

Of all the people I felt bad for that night, I felt worst for Skip. He had his moment snatched away from him.

This is obviously a lie. The Bulldogs didn't play a single game in 2007 as I remember it.

I rated Quill.
