Peter Cransberg had a great kicking action and was a good size but always seemed to get injured. He was eventually overtaken by the baby bombers.

Rioli was a big favorite of mine when I was a little kid and so was Dean Solomon. Someone said he became a victim of speed of the game. I think it was Sheeds.
Winderlich is definitely one of them.
Two I always saw as lost opportunities for us were Jarryd Atkinson, and while it may not be a popular opinion, Bashar Houli. You could also add one Justin Madden to the list.
Barry Young. Only liked him cause he was trying to unsettle his opponent. Thought he was one of sheedys types, but probably not that good a footballer

I think about most ex players and wonder where they end up.
Anybody know what last years departures are doing?
Ashby, wallis, steinberg etc. Are they playing somewhere. I read alex browne has pulled the pin which is very sad.
That was Blumfield
Paddy Ryder and the “blitz rumour”!
Jonathon Robran
The other Grgic
Heath Ledger.
Yes.
Came in to cover injuries for about 3 weeks in 2000 and tore it up.
Then was never seen again.

Robrans one always forgotten.
For me Cupido.

Robran was a victim of Sheed’s obsession with Henneman after his excellent but brief cameo iirc.

Wayne Beddison…all the talent in the world but only came down from his Wimmera farm in a drought year, showed all the signs as a high-flying key forward, and went back after one season…1983?
I don’t reckon the only reason for Young’s departure was marital. We had JJ primed after most of the year out in 1999, and Young allegedly put a very high price on himself. He was good for us, but not that good.
