On Thursday afternoon, former Fairfax Mediaย journalist Rohan Connolly joined SEN Afternoonsย and counted down his top five players who were born overseas.

There is no shortage of quality on this list!

4. Wayne Schwass (New Zealand)

Born across the ditch, Schwass made his debut for North Melbourne in round 1, 1988, and went on to enjoy a very successful career.

A two-time best and fairest (1994, 1995) and premiership player (1996) with the Roos, Schwass played 184 games for North Melbourne before making the move up north to Sydney.

In his second year with the Swans, Schwass was named as an All-Australian and won his third overall club champion award, and first with Sydney.

His career spanned 15 years and 282 games.
