Nine of the starting 20 would be part of our 1995 finals campaign.

Campbell and Maxfield are still playing AFL. Duncan was a reserves player (see below). Carey played as well.

If anyone else has past teams they would like to share/relive past nightmares  ;D go right ahead.

The memories, They delisted Paul Dimattina who went on to play 150 games at the Bulldogs in preference to Mark Pitura who played one game I think.
You see, the mistakes our club make are not just at present but well into the past.

Word I heard was that he was absolutely gutted, being a lifelong Richmond supporter, and cut because he had been injured. Now he wants his kids to grow up doggies supporters.  :'(

The name Pitura and Richmond recruiting disasters are synonymous  :'(. Who says lightening doesn't strike the same place twice  :(.
