I agree, Richard Guldon was probably a better player against us than Kempy, Peter Mastin always had the better of Kempy but Kempy always had the nack of pulling out something special when it was needed most.
Perhaps you older DV guys may know of this player. Played at West Preston, perhaps during the 80's. Surname - Fyfee. From what i hear, a good player, selfish, possies a plenty, and ran like the wind, all game. Anyone know of his career?

Anyone know of his career?My Dad use to follow west preston so i use to go watch every week when i was a Kid he played at Fitzroy he was as bald as a badger and was a gun even though i was a bit young to really watch him properly. I remember in a GF at epping he kicked a torp from the centre it was a massive goal in a close GF. Correct me if im wrong cause im not sure but i think he played for west mainly when they were in division 2.

I dont think you could go past Ace Cameron or Jamie shaw (90 s onwards) the best two ive seen. But from what i have heard Mario capola was an absolute champion.Robbo and Gadget were'nt bad either.

Greg Fyffe. Good player who played at Preston Bullants as well. Started losing his hair at about 16. Works with Wayne Richardson's company now.

Hey mate. He prob can play. But this isnt about guys who have been around 5 minutes. Myself , and i am sure many many many many others could name a loooooooooooooong list of guys who have played 2.5 yrs and are the best thing going round. How about you come back to this particular thread in 15 years, once this guy has retired, and let us know how good he was.
Thats more of the players we are talking about here. Those who have had a career longer than 5 min, and proven themselves consistently over time.
I have seen many a young player play one or 2 good seasons, then either get injured, lose the passion, or lose it all together.
So hopefully you are able to grasp the concept of this particular thread.
'Best DVFL PLayer Ever'
I would also like to add Boof from West. Dale Carmody. I think it was Dale.

How can anyone take that seriously he has'nt done a real lot just yet and hes only 20 years old. He is a gun but hes got a long way to go. At the moment he is respected as a very good up and comer nothing more theres probably twenty blokes the same as him running around Blake Holmes, Harley Ryan, Josh Jones, etc
Lofty Nolan.
Not much he cannot do, but a bit early. Only been around 4 years.
Jason Heatley for me. Before his WCE and St Kilda days he was amazing.
Pretty good when he came back.
Ace Cameron, could play anywhere.
Wayne Dobson, as balanced as anyone. Bit of the Robert Harveys.

Here is one for the older supporter's of the old DVFL
Lester Green played for North Heiderberg I think back in the early 70's
One of the champion's in the 70's. Also played with Parkside when they were in the Amateur's
I think he might have a boy playing now???

Stop pumping your own tyres up. Yes you have'nt had a kick all year because the opposition know who you are now its always easy your first year but as you have found out so far its not easy second year try fifteen times round. I have heard your a big head.I would'nt rate you in Bundoora s top five players now.

Hey Bruce, perhaps a distinction should be made between DIV 1 and 2.
There are better teams in divvy 1 than 2.
As for individual players, their ability is not limited by which league or divisiion they play in.
A recent example would be H.Ayres and R.Wise. Both good players in Div 2, and good players in Div 1.
Do we sit here and have a go at them for not having a crack at VFL?
Should VFL people sit here and have a crack at our top line Divvy 1, and call it crap footy,(hence labelling all players as well), cause they dont step up to the next level?
Should AFL people sit here and have a go at VFL players, and call it crap footy, cause they dont step up?
An individual players ability to play footy, is not limited by which grade he plays.
It may be a little harder to stand out in a better team, although this doesnt diminish the players ability.
In fact good players playing lower grades could possibly find it harder, as they will be the first player tagged/manned up once the game starts.
Anyway, perhaps we should distinguish b/n divvy 1 and 2. As we would VFL and Divvy 1, or AFL and VFL.

Totally agree with Chris Keating. Played over 300 games and never played in the reserves. Won 2 Smith medals.

We are talking about the DVFL or Northern FL if you like not the AFL it is not that much faster than when i payed during the 80s/90s and as for fitness i dont think i will ever see any footballer who was as fit as Neil Brindley

If someone has nominated themselves in this thread that is one of the funniest things i have ever seen. It is, however, a little sad at the same time. Couldnt be serious though surely.
Would someone form the northcote park days of four flags be up their? Someone like Shannon Logan who played in them four flags, as well as a couple for creek. Just throwin that dynasty up as surely a few of them must have been able to seriously play.

it may not be the young fella so lets not go judging him as a bloke because of this, but if it is you would want to pull your head in. I think to be the best player eva in the dvfl you need at least 150-200 games behind you and thats games in the actuall dvfl at senior level so lets stop talking about 50 game spuds.

I can't believe how far left of center this thread became, maybe if we add some rules.
1 - Must have played at least 150 a Grade div 1 games
2 - No player from Div 2 qualifies
On some of the questions posted
Bernie Smead was just OK, the best from Watsy would have been
1 - Mick Lamb
2 - Mal Griffith
(both of those 2 could have played Div 1 but didn't)
Someone asked about Northcote Park
bit of a guess here but maybe
1 - Origlasso
2 - ooze (i know i spelt that wrong)

Agreed Hawk. Dekka has been one of the best players to come to the DVFL/NFL. Pity he didn't come to this comp till he was about 30 and he still played over 200 A grade Div 1 games! Maybe some of the should-have-beens mentioned as great players on this thread could have tried their luck in the VFL/SANFL/WAFL like Dek did instead of taking the easy option of being the big fish in a little pond.
By the way Hawk are you and Dek back on speaking terms after your little lovers tiff last Sat?

I agree totally with Dekka (Derek Shaw) had he not played so much time in the ruck he would have topped the Goal kicking 5 or 6 times, he's a good mate of mine Shawy, he had a lot of injuries too. We book ended the burras for 6 or 7 years.

You have to feel for a bloke like Taylor as he was a champion player and never played in a premiership if mont had of won one of those grandfinals that they were in Jimmy Taylor would be right up there.

Colbol35, so if your young to be good you need to be in the vfl? thats a load of crap i have friends that have recently been de-listed from the afl they have gone to vfl clubs and hated it and have gone back to local footy becuase they are not enjoying there footy at vfl, i also had a short stint in the vfl and i hated it aswell i have now gone back to local footy and are loving every minute of it, i got droped from the vfl and found out first hand that they spin a lot of shit to get you there and then use u up as they please, and i reckon there is alot of young good players in the nfl that would easily be able to fit into a vfl side?
also sorry to steer away from what you guys are on about just wanted to share my bit on that, carry on about the real reason we r in this thread its good reading!

i think one of the main reasons alot of these young kids and even ex afl players come back and play local footy is because there is alot of easy money to be made, there is hardly any commitment at local level needed, i would say probably 7 hours a week and for the amount of money some get paid its the easy option. instead of giving up 4 to 5 days of ur week busting ur balls at a vfl club trying to break through to the seniors but probably going to play reserves for pretty much no coin would be the main reason alot of youngsters dont stay, the commitment is too much. and i would really doubtt that there would be any young players in ur comp that could fill spots in a senior vfl side without being down there for a couple of years earning there stripes.

My beleif is the vfl is a bit of a side step to local footy the players are much fitter and maybe a bit quiker but i beleive a vermont or heidelberg could mix it up with majority of the vfl sides. Most kids that go to vfl clubs drop off when they relise the dream of playing afl is over which makes the vfl pretty much an under 23 competition. I beleive that one day it will go back to the old system with the afl reserves which will see the vfl in real trouble.

Sorry mate i cant totally agree, to sum extent yes thats true there is alot of easy money to be made at not alot of commitment, but the reason i left was becuase i was not enjoying my footy and same with my other mates the only reason they left was becuase they were no longer enjoying footy and just wanted to have some fun again and play with there mates, 1 of my mates who only last year got dropped from st kilda wanted to get back into it so bad and was doing everything he could to get back, he took up being a paper boy so he could fit all there training schedules in so he didnt have to work when they were training, now thats commitment and he worked his a** off and for what? for them to play him in the 2's when he was by far a better footballer than at least half the guys on the team? they way the vfl works is crap they dont play players on form the play and pay players on there name, they have there favourites. and for me i am not on that much at my current club but got offered a alot more at other div 1 clubs but didnt take it up cuz i just wanted to have fun with my mates and get back to enjoying my footy and i am. i spose weve all had different experiences so u might have had a different one, but from people i know that play they dont like it, its just not fun and they just use u up as they please

I dont think you could go past Ace Cameron or Jamie shaw (90 s onwards) the best two ive seen. But from what i have heard Mario capola was an absolute champion.Robbo and Gadget were'nt bad either.
Wow, I thought most of you guys would be too young to remember players like Mario Cappola.
I left Melbourne in 1981, just as my team Diamo Creek went on their winning run.
John O'Connell, John Horton (my fav player) were two good players for Diamo back then.

Brendan Reid HFC
One for the old old blokes
Frank Finlay and Alan Finlay it's been that long i've forgotten who they played with in the DVFL.
I know they played a lot of footy with Fairfield amateurs and then Parkside.Great players in their day, I can remember Alan Finlay kicking out at Parkside's ground he would nearly put in the center (Drop Kick) and that is a fair effort at that ground

A young Athas hyrousoulakis running around for lalor in his asics tigers would have to be one of the best midfielders seen in the valley apparently could chew a few souvas as well

Hes alright big spider he has always been a substance abuser. He wont live a long life but he'll die a happy man. I still talk to him every now and then and he's happy living the same life he has lived for the past 25 years. Hes not the sort of bloke that admits he has a problem he just thinks thats the way we live. Spides is a great bloke and will always be a legend in my book. The best player i have ever played with.

I can't believe how far left of center this thread became, maybe if we add some rules.
1 - Must have played at least 150 a Grade div 1 games
2 - No player from Div 2 qualifies
On some of the questions posted
Bernie Smead was just OK, the best from Watsy would have been
1 - Mick Lamb
2 - Mal Griffith
(both of those 2 could have played Div 1 but didn't)
Someone asked about Northcote Park
bit of a guess here but maybe
1 - Origlasso
2 - ooze (i know i spelt that wrong)

Not the best, but one to watch out for in the future, is a kid called Josh Earnest. He has a head like a watermelon, but **** can he play! :p

Yep, if only Merv was half as good as he says he was :D
What about B Weatherald. I've heard he could play a bit in his day. Don't know if he was tough enough for DVFL but he did win a league Goal kicking award for Coburg in 1987.
Now days is content with coaching the young fellas and doesn't mind pinching Kickass's, Western Samoan Hot Chips from the Kitchen on a Thursday night .

Agree:thumbsu: it's a toss up between The Wiz (Lennox) or Ruben (Joe Amad), and also the best Wingmen in DVFL has to go to Shannon Logan unbeatable, and the Rolls Royce Damien Yze, he once ran the ball from back pocket didn't raise a sweat kicked from 50m and still went through goal post height, a well oiled machine - but also ace cameron wasn't bad, and a lot of respect for not quite sure if this is right but king brothers:confused: from Bulls, thought they where good players.

I would have to disagree with Logan being the best wingmen. I am sure there have been plenty, but one that would have played against Logan a couole oif times, and whom i rate better, is Jason McGann from WPL. Talk about kicking the ball post high from 50m.

I saw him play and have to agree that he was as good a player as I have ever seen run around in the DVFL.
