Just in case you felt like rugby was missing out on all the fun... Have I missed anyone?

Code switch: Scouted by rugby league as a teenager

Mike Pyke (Sydney Swans)

Code switch: Australian friend convinced him that he could be successful in the AFL

Lewis Roberts-Thomson (Sydney Swans)
Rugby credentials: Shore School (Al Baxter, Phil Waugh) first XV
Code switch: Played both codes in high school but felt that Australian rules best suited his body type

Sisa Waqa (Melbourne Storm)

There's Will Chambers of course but I'm not sure if he counts as he didn't originally come from rugby.

Lewis Roberts-Thomson (Sydney Swans)

......and how they overlooked him for the Norm Smith Medal is a mystery.

Congrats Mike Pike, first man to play Rugby World Cup and win an AFL Grand Final.
