Re: Lost Dogs United FC

Simon Atkins, Craig Ellis, Tyson Lane, Shane Ellen, Kym Koster spring to mind. Adrian Campbell maybe.

Re: Lost Dogs United FC

So here's my team for the "Lost Dogs United FC."


Backs: R Walker B Lake B. Hardie
H. B. : N. Cordy D Darcy L. Sandilands
C. : L. Cameron P. Box D. Hawkins
H. F. : J. Edmond B. Quinlan M. McLean
F. : T. McGuinness K. Templeton B. Round
Ruck : G. Dempsey D. Thorpe G. Bisset

INT: A. Purser, D. Cross, R. Spargo, J. Sewell
Med Sub. S. Higgins

Just some others spring to mind although I see Twodogs has picked a couple of them.
Wilson, Dunstan, Featherby, Tregenza, Stoneham, Baxter, Brown, Hudson, Hogg, Koster, and Osborne.

I think I could some others as well.

I'm not sure how many would force their way into your line-up.

Did Dimmatina go to the Tigers for a season?

He was originally drafted by Richmond but didn't play a senior game, just reserves. Left Richmond played in the VFA, then Carlton reserves and Essendon reserves before we picked him up. His father played for Richmond.

Re: Lost Dogs United FC

Gotta come up with a team of players we've recruited from other clubs now.

Joel Hamling qualifies for both teams.

Does the player need to have played a senior game for their old club to qualify? Tony Libba gets a guernsey if not.

Re: Lost Dogs United FC

If we're gonna throw players in there willy nilly I'd have Nathan Brown before Joel Hamling.

His last two years with us were about as good as it gets.

I deliberately excluded him. On ability and performance he is probably top 23 but the "big picture" includes more than just snagging goals, having a good left foot and a bit of dash. He was, without doubt, a very good footballer.

Fair enough. I think he is more talented than Higgins and has the X factor that Higgins lacks. A more dynamic player that demands a better opposition player as well. Brown was far more likely to win a match off his own boot than Higgins.

No one list is ever going to please everyone.

A team list of players that arrived from other clubs would be interesting as well.

Dimma told me he was jealous of his brother playing at Collingwood in front of big crowds.

Of course Robert!
No idea of junior club I'm afraid.

Re: Lost Dogs United FC

Has anyone mentioned that Ryan Griffin bloke? Simon Cox too.

Oh! Now there's a team "players who came from another club and went to another club. Gary Cowton, Robbie McGhie, Bill Berry, Ben Hudson, Jim McAllister, Mark Kellett off the top of my head.

Strange how the brain works! You would think I'd recall instantly a bloke who played 203 games for us, won a B&F and was club captain - but I didn't! I wonder why? Simon Cox - I liked him. Went to Hawthorn. Wayde Skipper was another who went to Hawthorn. Callan Ward - I was very disappointed when he left. Luke Penny went to St Kilda. Denis Collins - top footballer. Went to Richmond then Carlton
Michael Frost - he was a talent who looked like he was going to make it. Went to St.Kilda.

Nuggety Back Pocket points out that he came through Footscray 5ths. I'm guessing that was an Under 17 team that played in the FDFL. Someone will be able to confirm.
