Nope! He only ended up playing 24 matches for Melbourne after being traded out.

Here's a clue: this doesn't necessarily have to be after they were rookie listed by us. ;)

Yep, Hudson it is! Played 161 games with Adelaide, the Western Bulldogs and Brisbane before ending his career on our rookie list (and playing a further 7 matches). Not Williams, though, who only played 60 games for North before being delisted.

That's the "trick question" part of the quiz out of the way, anyhow. :mrgreen: Can anyone guess the final rookie-listed player to notch over 100 games at another club? Hint: like Podsiadly, he never played a senior game for us.

So if it's not Andrew Pugsley, it'll have to be Nathan Lovett-Murray.

I played in 2 Premierships and served with the RAAF in WW2.
When I announced my retirement, I joined the Salesian community at Sunbury, as a lay brother.

It sounds like Bruce Andrew - but I don’t know about the Salesian thing. He played in the 28 GF, missed 29 with injury and was BOG in 30. He played in the RAAF’s team a few times in the early/mid 40s.
