andrew rogers -lrb- born 15 august 1964 -rrb- is a former australian rules footballer who played with essendon and geelong in the vfl/afl .
originally from south australian national football league -lrb- sanfl -rrb- club woodville , rogers was recruited by essendon with pick six in the 1987 vfl draft .
he had played 63 games at woodville from his debut in 1985 and in 1987 represented south australia in interstate matches against victoria and western australia , performing well enough to be selected in the all-australian team .
rogers made eight senior appearances for essendon in 1988 but after being unable to cement his place in the side crossed to geelong .
he was at geelong for four seasons , playing finals football , including the 1992 afl grand final which they lost and was to be his last game in the league .
when he returned to south australia in 1993 he rejoined his old club woodville who , while rogers was in the afl , had merged to become woodville-west torrens .
as vice-captain , rogers played in their inaugural premiership team that year , with a grand final victory over norwood .
he was club captain from 1995 to 2000 and just like with his afl stint , his sanfl career ended in a losing grand final .
the 2001 decider was his 179th and last game for the merged club , for whom he won ` best and fairests ' in 1993 , 1995 and 1996 .
