B: HB: C: Frank Marchesani __________ Denis Collins HF: F: R: Int: Coach: Who else but Denis Pagan!!! Had to start with these two. Not including McKernan because regardless of what I think of him, he did play in two flags and should've won a Brownlow. So he's not a classic Coodabeen. Marchesani and Collins are exactly what the term was coined for. Feel free to add, and I'll edit this post with good additions. (By Coodabeen, I mean someone who has great wraps on them, the great white hope, and they look better than they really are!!! In fact they're really duds. McKernan wasn't really a dud. Chris Johnson, et al, never really looked any good and no-one thought they'd be really good). Edits 1. Just added the coach! |

Not sure if there was immediate fanfare over this bloke when he came across from West Coast, but after his 2005 Wizard Cup, there were a few people jumping up and down about Callum Chambers. |

Denis Collins wasn't a dud Name a big game with lots of pressure and close checking, in which he played well!!!! Starred against the bottom runged teams, but after we played Norf (first vs second) and Jezza wanted to see "who dropped their heads and who went into their shells", Dennis was history. Michael Young and Peter Francis, while not being as silky and flashy and fashionable took over the wing positions and the rest actually IS history. Now I'd love to see another thread called "Great players that Wes Lofts let go". We all know who's at the top of that list!!!!! (And it ain't Dennis Collins, I'll give ya the tip!). |

Injured as buggery towards the end of his career, I'll grant you that. But I wouldn't put him in the 'dud' league. |

Met the bespectacled one a few years ago, and he's an incredibly nice bloke. Didn't want to leave Carlton at the time, but circumstances dictated he return to Bendigo. We forget that there wasn't the financial incentive to play VFL back then that there is to play AFL today. |

Kicked about 50 goals in 1993 IIRC, which is a pretty good effort for a forward pocket. |
