Brett Chalmers - Woodville player Drafted by Richmond 1989?

[Mark_Beswick]

Can anyone help

I have been entering Draft Data onto the ScoreBOard DataBase.

I came across Richmond Draft Pick 103 in 1989 for Woodville's Brett Chalmers.

Does anyone know anything about this player - A date of Birth..... Was he an underage player. He did not play any AFL games or SANFL games for woodville at league level. Is this an error? Could it be Brett T. Chalmers of Port Adelaide ex Cleve?

If I could find a DOB I could cross reference it with the Brett Chalmers of Port Adelaide.

Any help appreciated?

Well, according to the AFL 2006 yearbook, this 1989 Brett Chalmers played 75 career AFL matches (page 381), indicating that it is the same Chalmers as the Port Adelaide one.

I would be surprised if there were two!

Thanks all - Looks like a typo in the AFL book - They must have confused woodville with port adelaide - one huge difference in success during this period though!

When I was on the Far West Coast, 78-81, local SAR employee John Chalmers had 2 boys, I think one was Brett, and he played juniors for Thevenard. His brother was tragically killed in a family car roll over a few years later.
I remember when the AFL Brett Chalmers started playing for Port I thought it must have been the same one, but then reading about him I realised it wasn't.
So this could be the mystery man.

That is certainly food for thought!
