Mark Alvey made his debut for the Bullies at the WACA in 1998, as the dogs kicked 8 goals to nil in the first quarter, only to concede 8 goals to nil in the second and lose. Couldn't quite edge ahead of Libba, West and Romero for midfield time.

It was of course Daniel Wulf, delisted by the Bulldogs and drafted by the Saints from East Burwood, he famously missed running into an open goal vs Sydney in 2002, drawing the game.

Pick 29 in the 2005 draft, Ben McKinley broke out in 2008, leading West Coast goal kicking, including a bag of 7 vs Essendon. Was probably a few inches too short to be a KPP. Now a lawyer.
