    Agree totally on Rocca which is why he was never a "hero" - always a "zero"!
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

    Satchmo...agree about zero for these guys...but Powell never exceeded that, & Kinnear never made it to hero status.

    Poor little MUMMY's darling.

    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    He had me so excited in the early 70's with his looooong left foot kicking & kicked some great goals from memory...an absolute champ in the making..then shot through to Richmond...& faded quickly into obscurity.
    A story made all the better by the fact that we received Graham Teasdale (Brownlow medallist), Brian 'Whale' Roberts (3rd in a Brownlow IIRC) and Francis Jackson (a better than average HBF) in exchange

    (Almost made up for the Daniher-Fields transfer)

    Thanks for continuing that story "Its all Goodes".
    An incredible trade in retrospect.
    Chow Chicker..this thread is about hero to zero...Saddington never was a hero...Foschini was a 5 minute (OK 1 year) hero of sorts in a very weak team...Paul Morwood was a solid but never great (hero) player...especially after he returned from Collingwood.

    Plugger's comeback lacked a lot. Maybe not zero but close.

    Another response to "Its all Goodes".
    Nothing will ever explain the Fields - Daniher trade...it left me speechless when it happened...Fields was already showing signs of fade...& was always "iffy" anyway. Knew him a bit & skills were silky at his best but always vulnerable. Daniher had just given us a great year in tandem with Teasdale...arguably the worst Swans trade ever made.
