Andrew Welsh, Adam McPhee may roll dice in draft

[Smokey]

I think we re recruited McQueen once or twice after he was delisted.
Mckee was shipped off to Collingwood for Clinton King.
Allan McKellar was running around in our cubs side of 87/88.
Can't think of any more.

Basil McCormack - 199 games - 1925-1936
Craig McKellar - 96 games - 1971-1975
Ron McDonald - 92 games - 1955-1960
Frank McCashney - 82 games - 1909-1915
Robert McGhie - 81 games - 1973-1978
Norm McIntosh - 78 games - 1920-1924
Angus MacIsaac - 59 games - 1922-1924, 1926-1927
Luke McGuane - 54 games - 2006-2009
and a couple of others that didn't make it to 50.

Craig McKellar was a handy ruckman from SA in the early 70's (who played 2nd ruck to Brian Roberts) that I remember and 'Tatts' McGhie was a hard-nosed defender from that era - I would have either of them in my side today.

Thanks for that Smokey

Geez Luke McGuane how could I have missed that lol

Yep the others were before my time but I recall having heard of Craig McKellar, Basil McCormack and Robbie McGhie who come from Footscray.

Not many when you think about it in 101 seasons of VFL/AFL footy.

Yeah Tucker, I was surprised too - I thought there would have been more.  Don't know why, I just did.

Craig McKellar was a 'bloodnut' from SA (Woodville if my memory serves me correctly but I am struggling with that).  He was a very reliable 2nd ruck and formed a strong combination with the Whale.  They had both gone by the end of '75 and with it went our chances until Mark Lee stepped up in 1980.

Wasn't that a different era?

gold.

McPhee looks like going back to Freo with the pick 3 in the PSD.

Richmond won't get in their way

Welsh has re-signed with Essendon according to SEN.

[Penelope]

"ESSENDON has signed key midfielder Andrew Welsh and defender Nathan Lovett-Murray to new two-year deals, but has yet to come to terms with utility Adam McPhee."

McPhee has quit Essendon and is off to Freo on a 3-year deal via pick 3 in the PSD.

Melbourne and Richmond have the first two picks in that draft, but will not take a player several years out of their age profile.
