Team of Players who returned to original clubs

[premiers2011]

I was wondering if The Weagles would be silly enough to pick up Cousins again after playing in a lower grade for a year and it got me thinking about all the players who have left a club to play at another one and then returned to the original one.

I've put together my best recycled team, hope PRE's can improve on it.
Though I wouldn't mind it at Tigerland!!

I know Rioli didn't play for another team but he was gone long enough to have to change his number (17 to 27)



Backs: C Smith J Rantall B Montgomery

H/Backs: G Landy T Croad H Black

Centres: W Walsh M Rioli J Murphy

H/F: P Morwood D Cloke P Bell

Forwards: J Barnes P Salmon C McKernan

Rucks: C Ditterich D Tuddenham G Williams

Int: A Lord T Nicholls C Heffernen P Peos

No but he went from Richmond to Carlton to Essendon then back to Carlton.

Only players to represent Richmond, play elsewhere, and play again for Richmond:

Billy Schmidt 71, 90 (St), 4
Wayne Walsh 6, 63 (Sy), 82
David Cloke 176, 114 (Co), 43
Terry Smith 50, 44 (St), 6
Darryl Vernon 4, 8 (Sy), 5
Neil Peart 13 (Co), 31, 9 (WB), 9
Trent Nichols 56, 4 (WC), 33 (Ka), 19

Three players from the early days of VFL football who were regarded as champions or near enough were Billy Schmidt (Ri-St-Ri, centre), Wels Eicke (St-Ka-St, defender) and Percy Martini (Ge-Ri-Ge, forward). Sel Murray (Ka-Ri-Ka) and Linday White (Ge-Sy-Ge) were top forwards in the 40's and averaged almost 4 goals per match.

Others who might in contention are
Phil Baker (Ka-Ge-Ka, forward)
Warwick Capper (Sy-Br-Sy, forward)
Gary Cowton (Ka-WB-Sy-Ka, defender)
Neville Fields (Es-Sy-Es, centre)
Warwick Irwin (Fi-Co-Fi, rover/forward)
Peter Keenan (Me-Ka-Es-Me, ruck)
Robert McGhie (WB-Ri-WB-Sy, CHB)
Ken Newland (Ge-WB-Ge, ruck rover)
Billy Picken (Co-Sy-Co, CHB)

Is Carl Ditterich the only player ever to return to TWO clubs?

I believe he went Stk-Melb-Stk-Melb.

I believe he went Stk-Melb-Stk-Melb.

The only other one is Pat Leahy Ge,5-Sy,11-Ge,15-Sy,1 (1939-45).
