1) What do all these have in common,
Mark Levy, Peter Sterling, Michael Vella, Steve Corradi?
2) Odd man out,
Terry Fearnley, Vic Hey, John Monie, Brian Smith?
3) How many top grade games have Parra played, including finals?

 

[mickdo]

yes to all 3, over to you

Hmmm... I dispute Aggett. He went to Balmain in '56 but Don Graham went to the magpies in '54.

Don Graham played in '52 for us but never played in '53 and went to magpies in '54.

I think he was after players who were poached, not left and then found another club 2 seasons later, even though the question didn't clearly state that.

Correct he didn't play first grade in 53, but had he left the club altogether?
