Turning Back The Clock - Team Lists 15 Years Ago - Dockers/Power and Fitzroy
The Dockers and Power of today, and the players who were with Fitzroy in 1992.
Something different had to be done to fit the Dockers and the Power on this list, as they were not around in 1992, so the current teams have had some of their best players selected and then compared to what the Fitzroy Lions had on their list 15 years ago.
A look at players who were in some small way similar to what the clubs have now, these are not direct player comparisons as there were plenty of players who were unique, one-of-kind stars. A fun test to see how many players were memorable from the past team, and how many have been forgotten about.
