Can someone help me with identification of a player, please?

Question

This is not a quiz question to which I know the answer.

The Q is - a few years back when Mick Malthouse was coaching the West Coast Eagles a player transferred from a Melbourne team (Richmond I think - but not certain) He was a rover & played one game with WCE. He kicked a goal with his first kick.

He interupted Malthouse when Mick was making his quarter time addresss to the players. Mick dragged him from the gground at that same break &t he player never set foot on the ground as an Eagles player again. He finished off the season in the WAFL, I think, but returned to Vic at the end of thear as Mick didn't want anyone in the team who acted in such a manner & interupt him.

It has been the subject of discussion at work but no-one can recall this bloke's name. Is there any old Eagles fans out there who can assist??!!

Answer 4

Just trying to rack by brain here.

one game you say, hmmm.

OK, the only one that sort of fits your description who i can think of from Richmond, (if it was Richmond)  I'm not sure if he only played one goal though, what about Trent Nichols, he was a classy sort of left footer, not a bad player when he was up and going.

Almost certain it was Trent Nichols  but he played a few more than 1 game, no more than 5-6  though i wouldn't think, he went on to North,  then 6 years after leaving the tigers he was back there, he definately finished his career off at tigerland.
