Celebrity calendars were a popular fund-raiser in the general community in the 2000s. The Bloods’ version featured (from left) Jeremy Bourke, Michael Barker, David Mackenzie, Laz Siapantas, Matthew Armstrong and Mark Corrigan. What were they thinking?!

The curiosity that was the Bloods’ international recruit, “the Tearaway Texan”, David Thurmond, who arrived courtesy of Mark Seccull and found himself featured in The Age as the most extreme example of the Bloods’ aggressive recruiting campaign in 2004

Adam Forsyth played his 150th game in 2004

In 2006 the Bloods boasted an embarrassment of big man riches. Other than the likes of Jenke and Seccull, they were able to call on future and former AFL players Stefan Martin (32) and Stewart Loewe, seen here taking a strong mark against Old Scotch a few weeks before the finals campaign began.
