Noel Judkins was an inept buffoon, who ultimately cost us 2002 flag.
David Mundy was the most durable player from that draft, and I'll go on the record as saying that was almost as big a ballzup as the Pavlich farce. |
Fair call.

4 years at Pieland for 35 games and numerous busted knees
Transferred from Richmond as a star centre half forward |
Yep. Might have done both knees in one match: 1979 Qualifying final against the Roos. |
Yes he did both in the same game, but I recall it was in 1980 not 1979. Edwards played in the 79 GF against Carlton, pack marked in the square and kicked our last goal if I remember correctly. He was a very good player that year and one of the reasons that we made the GF.
In 1980 we were close to the fence behind the city end goal square, so after buggering one knee at CHF Edwards was moved to FF and did the second knee there.
I think that was the same game that Briedis knocked out Wearmouth just after the opening bounce, and was suspended for many weeks. That just fired up Stan who responded by knocking out Briedis (not reported) then Cassin (not reported) so North were down 2 players for the game. Stan wasn't finished though. He also ko'd Blight (once again, not reported) and once Blight came around North would have been one short if he went off so he leaned up against the goal post for support for a lot of the remainder of the game. Maybe that head knock explains some of the strange things that Blight says. |
 Brillant stuff.

Alex McDonald was another one who didn’t live up to the hype as a number one pick. Started at the Hawks and finished up at Collingwood.
He probably wasn’t a total bust in that he was picked to play in our firsts whenever he was available. It’s just that he never really showed the form of a number one selection from a national draft.
Having said that, he will forever have Bannik and Lounder covered. |

Nah Ronny and Mongrel Jim McAlester were fabulous entertainment. The opposition spent half their time looking over there shoulder waiting to get beleted. He was better value than Barry Mitchell.
