Article in the Age listing all pick #3 from the 1980.

I didn't realise that Nick Fosdike was that high a draft pick, although a very good player.
He was drafted in 1998.

Shannon Grant was also pick #3.

I always had a soft spot for Fosdyke.

Didn't he play his last game (SCG vs Cats?) after a long break due to injury during which time he'd acquired a Spida-like tattoo on the uppper arm/shoulder which looked totally out of character given his clean-cut image?

He should have retired as a Norm Smith medallist.

Little known item of interest that Nic's grandfather, Bob, was almost a South Melbourne player. South tried to recruit him from the Norwood in SANFL - I think he worked in a bank in SA. But I think the bank refused to clear his work transfer to Victoria.

I had the surname correct but his first name wrong. Apologies.

Agreed, he had a great game.

It amazes me they pick the Norm Smith before the game is finished...Have they changed this ridiculousness yet?

I also thought Hanners was stiff not to win it in 2012.

If Hanners had have won, we'd be saying O'Keefe was stiff

Had a great game, but Buchanan was BOG for mine. His last quarter was as influential as another celebrated last quarter a fortnight earlier...

Great player, not a standout but innocuous and consistent. He also wore my grandfathers no.12 guernsey BTW.

He would've been my choice too. Davo did kick 4 influential goals though...
