Southerner wrote: In #8 Duda and #29 Arnold East Perth had two almost polar opposite players in style & traits up forward - Duda was the archetype lead up full-forward who thrived on lace out direct quick passing - Arnold was the tall big bodied full-forward who thrived in a marking contest deep in the forward line
Ironically it was Arnold who was slower and usually got monstered by a pack if the ball movement was slowed down further up the field
And as Beasley Hutton said - both ended up out the door soon after - South Fremantle chased Arnold's release hard in the pre-season of 1980 particularly

Probably as a direct replacement for Ray Bauskis who retired that year Southy.
From memory I think Norm Uncle the ex Claremont Full Forward had a stint at SF around then too.

Absolutely mate - and it was borne out of Paul Arnold's then record 9.1 performance against South Fremantle in the 1978 Preminary Final ,that match was the finest & most powerful WANFL performance of his career as things eventually panned out in history.
I don't think Malcolm could forget that and even more so when the first inklings trickled out that Arnie wasn't going to remain at East Perth under coach Cable
Norm Uncle I think came over first having played under Browny at Claremont a few years earlier

AD: I think that is a very point about the 1960-71 era in regards uner-achievement, had you won all of those you would have been within touching distance of EF by 1978. Having said that, I have always let the off a bit because Peth had Cable. Did he win all the Simpson medals awarded in those grand finals?

I would go with Arnold over Duda If had to choose

DG -- Are you re-calling his days with the Lions? He did kick 5.0 against Perth in round 2, 1980, in a game the Demons won by a hundred points.

Five goals more than what ex SD forward Mark Olsen kicked for EF in the thrashing SD gave EF back in 1980.....no doubt that was a 100 pt one as well....LOL.

Did ex EP tall John Nolan ever suit up for EF?....seem to remember he did for some reason.

I did mention him moving from EP to EF earlier in the thread Freeze...good to see you take notice mate!

He played 27 games and kicked 23 goals for EF from 1983-1986.
Also played 50 games and kicked 64 goals for EP from 1979 to 1983.

I believe he did Grump...probably followed Cable over from Arden St.
A few boys played at EP & NM back in the 70s & 80s-
John Burns, Brad Smith, Richard Michalczyk, Ross Glendinning, Kevin Bryant, Peter Spencer, Barry Cable, John Nolan, Phil Kelly, Richard Dennis, Alex Ishchenko et al. I am pretty sure Grant Campbell signed a Form 4 with NM as well but never made the move over.

EP & Fitzroy also had a few players that played at both clubs in the 70s & 80s as well-
Ron Alexander, Ian McCulloch, Ian Miller, Neville Taylor, Glenn Robertson, Wayne Duke, Dean Turner, Brett Stephens, John Ironmongrel, David Bain, Marcus Seecamp...may have been the Kevin Murray connection?
