Not sure why I did this. Bloody took me forever and it is shit. The accuracy is questionable so don't shoot me for errors and exclusions.
LOL.

 

[Kolum Kid]

DD I think you need to get a hobby!

DD I think you need to get a hobby!

Yes you are right Kolum. Too much free time on my hands. Not much happening with signings so I did this rubbish. I had to split it up as all in the one go posting was way in excess of the limit the Thread could take (10,000 words I think).

I won't do this again, that's for sure.

 

[Jubilee]

Ah, Aaron Woods. A real George Rose quality signing.

 

[jeffdragon]

Geez we had some terrible players.

 

[Gareth67]

Brought back some happy memories one of which stands out for me was the the day that big Jerry Latimore grab the marbles of Cameron Smith sending the bloke into cries of pure anguish !

And to rub salt into the wounds the ref would not listen to Smith’s appeal of foul play .

Now that is what you call poetic justice !

However the player lists of those years show that the Dragons did have some very good players , of course the best we ever managed was the final in 2018 under the tutelage of the much maligned Mary McGregor .

 

[RedVee]

Lachlan Maranta must rate as the worst.
Surely?

 

[Jeremy Dragon]

OTHERS: Darren Nicholls

Dragons SG Ball coach

 

[Number of the Beath]

Absolutely stellar list of players.
