I have revived this thread -- very good one -- because I had noticed that the Sydney Swans are claiming Robertson as an AFL Hall of fame member in spite of the fact that he played just one season for the club. Goodness me, even on the AFL Hall of Fame web site they refer to the fact that he played for Subiaco.

And yet, if you read the history of SM/Sydney they fail to make reference to the 'Subiaco legion' which won them a power in the 1930s.

Johnnie Bowe
Brighton Diggins
Billy Faull
Johnny Leoanard

in fact, in 1932, Johnny Leonard was coach and Billy Faull won the fairest and best for SM.

I suppose we should be happy with the small crumb that, even today, Sydney is known as the 'Swans' because of their impact on SM and the wider VFL.

Why is George Maloney not listed as an AFL legend? bloody ridiculous.
