TOPIC:

So I’m thinking in all seriousness that no one from the 60s played well into the 70s so that rules out say Ian Miller, bob shields etc.
I’m thinking a few of the prem boys would have gone close like buzz, cookie, rob wiley, mitsopoulos, ken Inman, off top of head. And then cuz.

And of course coups, mal day? Watto?

Mitsy was cut down by injury a lot too; but if I remember my football registers correctly, he scrapped over the line with around 105 games.

Willie Dick was a fine player in two different eras in the WAFL
How many games for Troy Cook?

Troy Cook got to around 130 games I think.

I think only ken bell, phil lamb and the captain played 100 games for us in the years 1975 -1983 or so -- a ridiculously low figure. Schultz and Dimmer got close to that figure of games. As you know, Randall is a good comparison, in terms of games played, because he left at the same time and had managed 152 games.

3 Surnames stood out as great stalwarts for Subi in the late 70s & 80s AR- Taylor (Neil & Brian), Lamb (Phil & Dwayne) & Brown (Clint & Rod).
Funnily enough only the Taylors were related (brothers).

BH -- all very good those common as muck English surnames for us in those days, as you say. Rod Brown, in particular, 'bese' I had a soft spot for because I am certain he played in nearly every key popsition for the club. As you know, he played in a few loses at your beloved SD before joining Subi, so it was a bit sad to see him go out in 1985 just before our flag.

Neil Taylor was the best wing man we produced in my life-time
Clint Brown -- would have played in the VFL had Bunton left him in the forward line
Brian Taylor -- good rover, whom was a bit of a goal sneak when we had our weaker sides
Dwayne Lamb -- one cannot really speak highly enough of him -- professional
Phil Lamb -- he used to chase the Narkle brothers around in his career. He was unique under Bunton because he played on the half back line, across the centre, and as a half forward flank.

Ken Marshall must have gone close to 100 games before switching to Swan Districts
Never quite got to full fitness Toddy got him close

AR you will be pleased to know at least Rod Brown did get to play in a Premiership in 1985 not in the WAFL but the next best League at that time the old SFL for Kalamunda who had a very good side that included many former WAFL players aside from R.Brown including John McGuire (ex EP & P), Gary Armstrong (S & P), Gerry Cotter (S), Jeff Davidson (SD), Steve Gillespie (SD), Ric Ellard (SD), Glen & Dennis O'Rourke (SD & P) etc.

BH: Rod B had some genuine successright at the end of his career.

Ken Screech is another whom would of played 100 games, but fell out with Ken Armstrong

Screech also had a stint at EP AR.
