There was a skilled indigenous player Rod Waddell that Carlscum and Collingwood kinda fought over and if I remember correctly, he ended up playing for both clubs.

Waddell played for Carlton and Geelong.
He played some games in our reserves team, but never for the senior side.

Rod Waddell played with Carlton and Geelong in the VFL.
Waddell played suburban football for the Lalor Football Club in the Diamond Valley Football League. In 1981, he was recruited to the Victorian Football League, and he was initially zoned to Collingwood, where he played some reserves football. However, this was an error: Lalor was one of only two DVFL clubs which was not part of Collingwood's zone, and Waddell should actually have been zoned to Carlton. Because the Collingwood reserves team had fielded him without the proper clearance, it was stripped of four premiership points that it had earned with him in the team in 1981.
After the error was cleared up, Waddell moved to Carlton. Renowned for his quick pace, Waddell played three senior games in late 1981, and two in 1982 before being cleared to Geelong mid-season.[1] He played a further twenty senior games at Geelong between 1982 and 1984, but struggled to hold a regular position there either.
Waddell is the uncle of Daniel, Shannon and Steven Motlop.

Thanks. I didn’t know or remember that he didn’t play seniors for us and that he played for Geelong. Handy player from limited memory.

| Can’t find video, but Liddell did do a spectacular horizontal flying in the air handball that got us a goal. |

Good news for Fin Macrae, plenty of motivation to play in a team that could go back-to-back Premiers.

More a Rupert 'the Wombat' Wills* type...
*he made his debut in a nineteen-point victory against West Coast round 19 2016 , laying 11 tackles. These 11 tackles, at the time put Rupert as the VFL/AFL record-holder for most tackles laid in a game on debut.
Fewest games to 100 career tackles ~
14 - RUPERT WILLS
16 - JackGraham
16 - Dayne Zorko
16 - Hugh Greenwood
16 - David Ellard

| I'm suspending disbelief on this one because the Football Department obviously knows what it is doing - but he has looked like a run-of-the-mill vanilla sort of hack in the seconds, so my expectations are low. |

Yeah, they obviously see something I haven't. If his role is to just get in and under then dish out to better skilled guys, fair enough but I'm not even sure that's enough. That last game against Willy, I saw a master class in ball butchering but to be fair, he wasn't alone. Can't say I've seen much else in other games that stood out.

The last game against the Dons is the one to look at. Was vg that night.

| Well with Tay moving on I'd imagine Fin will get more of a chance in the ones. |
