Heath and Brayden Shaw? - Heath is very good but Brayden was ordinary and enjoyed the piss a bit too much. Thought the name alone would take him there.

McAdam kicked 7 on debut and then 10 in his 2nd match. He also kicked 6 in his 3rd game - giving him 23 goals after 3 matches (a record). His started late - aged 22. He kicked 68 goals in his 17 games of 1993. Hard to imagine that he was washed up after another 19 games.

I remember Dennis Pagan talking about him in late '93. He said he was in absolute awe of his skills. He stood in amazement at training watching him kick footy's from 25 metres away into a wheelie bin - with both feet.

There would be Josh & Matthew Carr that both did pretty well.

Joel Bowden was a handy player...Patrick Bowden was alright I guess

Luke Power a very good player....Sam Power a struggler

Xavier and Raphael Clarke have both been OK too

I guess time will tell about Gary Jr and Nathan Ablett, and whether Nathan can be half the player his brother is.

Maurice Rioli/Sebastian Rioli

Any Sandgropers on here over 35 will remember fat Sebastian Rioli (I think its where Dean picked up his fat genes). But what a player!!

Maurice of course was a champion
