    Not even a full season. The poor bastard lost a testicle in his 3rd or 4th match for us and understandably retired.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      Angelo Petraglia played some good footy for us too. I remember a goal he kicked at Windy Hill in '87(?). It was amazing, he had a flying shot that was heading out of bounds but moved sideways more than he ball that Warnie got Gatting with and rolled through for a goal. Soon after Beasley got a couple of dodgy frees and we came from 5 goals down just before half time to win.

        He signed a form four with Carlton (I think) so he was definitely tied to another club.

            Royce Hart was making the players run up and down the fire escape steps on the Whitten Stand years ago at training. Tweedale asked if he go go to the toilet and Hart said no. "Fair enough then" said Buckets and promptly had a wizz from the very top landing onto a bunch of cars parked outside!


            Speaking of Carl, what about Ben Harrison!
            I sat next to the property steward at one game and the first thing he said was a derogatory remark about Harrison's manliness. I rest my case.

              Mark.



              Stephen Lunn, Matthew Hannaberry, Robert Amos, Con Gorozides, Alan McConnell, Michael(?) Rolfe(one of Malthouse's mates from Richmond) Dean Chiron, Alan Edwards, Shane Walsh, Robbie Peers, David Allday-the list is endless, I spent five minutes thinking of that list of the top of my head.

              In fact I wonder when the last time we took the field without an ex-opposition player in the team? I'd almost be willing to bet that it's never, that we've always had an a plyer from another club in our teams right back to the days of Con McCarthy, Bill Cubbins and Jack Hutchison in the '20s and '30s.

                  I think Nathan Eagleton has done well too.

                    Bandy went alright the first year he played for us. But if you mention that name in the Barking Dog's household, you are guaranteed to get a reaction from the other half complete with red face and a lot of swearing
