My eyesight is going.  :( Only easy to pick the well known players.
This Brendan McCarthy bloke is getting a good run. Wonder if he's any relation to Paul.  8)

Moi, I think Nick Jewell is 2nd from the left in the 3rd row of the 1997 pic.

Think that's his name.
Giesch appointed him 2nds coach when he took over from Walls.
Didn't have an AFL CV - I think he coached around the Warrnambool leagues, or thereabouts.
Does anyone know what impact he had at the club?  Was he a good mentor for the kids coming through at that time?
Just wanna hear more about his involvement at the club, because his appointment was out of left field.  Not going for someone who was in the system was a big move for someone like Giesch who was a virtual unknown himself.

Anyone?


moi

the bloke u are talking about is a bit of a legend down in ocean grove,   while  the giesh was assistant at geelong, he met him and was impressed with his coaching record. at th etime he had won  something like 5 o5 6 grand finals in a row at ocean grove. he then had a monor role at geelong and when giwsh took over the tigers, he wanted him there.
thats about it

IT IS Nick Jewell.

Yep. Baldwin was a good player at Fitzroy but we got him at the end of his career.

I'll have a go purely off the top of my head. Don't know all of them but here goes... anything with an asterisk is a very rough guess.

From Top left..Mick Gale, Nicholls*, Hilton, Torney, Ryan*, Bowden, Bower, Prescott*, AK, ?, Rogers
Charles*, Bourke, Turner, Richo, The Donut, ?, Benny Gale, Holland, Gaspar, ?, Bully, James
Rombotis*, Plapp, Dunc, Cambo, Knights, Daffy, Powell*, Merenda
Harrison*, Moore, Brodders, Chaffey, ?, The Birdman, ?, ?,?, Proctor

I'm sure Tivendale is in there somewhere but I can't pick him.

A crap effort I know but could someone help me fill in the gaps or fix any that I got wrong?
