For the Black Ducks the likes of Blackaby, Geappen, Twomey, Robinson always get a mention and deservedly so as all have been fine performers at Basso.
Peter Ware & Peter Kenny were great Premiership players for us in the 80's from Cairns & Canberra respectively whilst Leon Baker even tho we recruited him from South Bunbury in our zone was as good as they get.
Paul Werner & Robert Maiden from Canberra were handy in 83.

Paul Werner????

Yeah mate he led our goalkicking in 83 handy full forward but was dropped for the GF to allow Stan The Man to have a fond farewell against the hapless Puddy Tats!!

Name rings a bell BH but that's about all. Assume he didn't hang around in 84 after missing out on a GF in such circumstances. Is that what prompted the move of Brent Hutton forward in what was for him a stellar season?

Yeah pretty much mate tho Hunky had been kicking a lot of goals in the Colts & Ressies for a few years just getting the odd taste of it in the League side but enough to hit 84 with all guns blazing!!

Kevin Caton

Paul Werner passed away a few years after his stint with Swans, was going to return to swans and had a car accident I believe.

Peter Kenny was a top recruit - played some good roles in 82/83 from Canberra also

Not sure how I forgot Kev off my list turtle but what a great pick up he was from Darwin along with Joey Ahmat.

Loved Caton kicked the goals and a great bloke to boot.

Ross Young was one. He was signed for the Demons and was coming over before he got put on the rookie list by Carlton. Eventually found his way to Lathlain, albeit 12 months later.

Scott Rowland from East freo was a good one from us, an old fashioned midfielder. Only played the couple of seasons maybe even just the one but was a key midfielder in the 89 flag especially in the grand final which was played in wet and heavy conditions

Mick Moylan , Darryl Moyle , Dale Reeves (if only for the notoriety ) Neil Randall , Dave Rawlinson , Paul Vasoli , Paul Mountain , Stephen Mount , Noel Carter

Gus Seebeck good for Perth moreso
