    Thanks Mr Pedantic.

    I was going to say soemthing about changing the list to players and cosches etc etc but didn't think the regular RWOer would be that concerned with triffling details. Seems I was wrong...

      Robert Neill is another who thrived after going to St Kilda.

      I don't think he ever recovered after a famous training session held by Gary Buckenara after a bad loss. It involved going up & down hills in the pouring rain on hands and knees.

        How many Campbells have played, or at least been listed with the swans?

        According to RWO's list.

          He was actually a promising little midfielder. I was disappointed when he left, but obviously he had issues outside football.

            Has any other name so dominated the 0's - at any club?

              I came across Troy Grey in working life

              He complained to one of our sales guys on why he hadn't received something.

              The response was it was retribution for him giving the free kick in the dying minute to Gary Ablett that cost us the game rnd 1 1995

              He couldn't believe anyone remembered, yes we remembered Troy

              Add Troy Grey and Robbie Neill to the list of being sent to the graveyard

              You don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby Ziegler

                I think you might mean 1995, Reggi.

                    I thought I was going mad. Not only could I not remember Troy Grey, I was rwally struggling with recalling a narrow loss to Geelong, round 1, 2005.

                      Clearly season 2008 has been a riveting experience for you so far ROK.

                        Moving to The Aints has been a graveyard for Sydney Players Foschini, P Morwood, F Campbell, Schneider?

                        Moving the other way seems the way of superstardom and legend status, Cazaly, Lockett (C O'brien) and B Hall

                        I have left out Jayson Daniels as they poached him from the sydney zone technically he was Sydney, then St Kilda, then Sydney then St Kilda again
                        How bad were St Kilda. They took him back!

                          Your spelling is atrocious today and at 11am I see. That flask in the bottom draw seems to be taking a hiding on a Monday morning.

                                Gray also gave the hospital pass to Scott Direen against the Tiggers at Waverley in '96.

                                Direen made it back later in the year, but was NEVER the same steady player he was for us before getting KO'd.
