Brian Kekovich , and he had made it , but i was devastated he never played another game after the 1968 GF. A short career of 34 games for 97 goals. We didn't lose a game he played in 1968 and his his 4 goals in the GF were vital in our win.

Had a back injury and was advised at the time that if he played again, would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. :cry:


Is that what happened to our Keka. Always wondered.

Good call mc
Richard Dennis was a good player in a premiership year in 1987
I could never work out what went wrong in 88. We were equal with Hawthorn at the halfway mark (9 wins 2 losses) but then went off the boil. Losing Dennis was one of the reasons.
He could never establish himself in the side again and limped of to the Kangaroos in 92.

His knee injury in mid 1988 was a disaster - altering the structure of th forward line and taking away the extra marking option. We fell away after that.
As for Rocky himself, his knee just didn't recover like most do now. He really lost a fair bit of pace and just didn't get to the contest like he did in 1987. I can think of only 1 game where Rocky played true to his 1987 after the injury - against Essendon**.
As he lost confidence, so did the MC. He went to North to rekindle his career and did get a few games, but never at his old standard.


See him down at the local footy here in Perth occasionally - still very much loves the Blues!

Steven Oliver. Watched his 1994 games and he could have been the Coleman from the bush in the big city without doubt.

His nephews are running around for Collingwood and St Kilda

But, the big city was not for him.

Bloody good junior tennis player in his day - back when Jason Stoltenberg was ranked the No. 1 junior player in the world (same age group as Agassi, Sampras & Courier).

Founded Camp Australia with his brother while he was running around in the 1987 Carlton reserves side at age 17. They sold it 18 months ago for $400 million. Fair amount of net worth in that '87 reserves premiership with Fraser Brown in there. Unfortunately Paul Starbuck cannot lay claim to a large coffee multinational.

Aisakie O’Halphin!

Hi saw him do some incredible stuff in the VFL and was so hoping he could get a spot in the seniors. Personally I think he didn’t he wanted it bad enough.

But he had some talent!

Rod Waddell was a name I thought of. Saw him at close hand play great footy for Nightcliff in Darwin many years ago before he went to Carlton. Gerard Neesham played for St Marys against Rod Waddell and a few Motlop brothers. Good duels.

More recently I always - for some reason - had a soft spot for Richard Hadley. Played a couple of seasons, got injured alot - but whenever he was in the team we seemed to do much better.
