Which local football clubs have been the most successful at producing AFL players?

[Cmarsh]

Just a curiosity of mine.

I assume it would be the local clubs based in the Melbourne suburbs.

Anyone got any info re this?

Cranbourne under 9s

 

[Crawb]

Do we count as a feeder club yet?

I know Eltham have produced David Zaharakis, Nick Vlaustin, Josh Caddy and Marcus Bontempelli in recent times.

 

[Fitzey]

Well I'm Tasmanian so I will go the Burnie Dockers. Delivered Brady Gray, Eli Templeton and Alex Pearce last year.

Geelong Falcons by an absolute mile. The amount of talent they have produced is ridiculous.

 

[Oraaaaazio]

OP wants local football clubs.

Geelong Falcons aren't a local club and neither are Burnie Dockers.

Do you consider that a local club?

Did the OP mean junior suburban clubs and not your geelong falcons and east fremantles?

The tittle says 'which local football clubs have been the most successful at producing AFL players'. I'm putting my local football club up. Is there a problem?

Yes, they're a state league team.. Seemed pretty obvious to me that he meant actual local clubs e.g. Quambatook Saints

I class the Dockers as a local club.

Bullcreek Leeming has supposedly produced the most AFL players

 

[Gibbke]

Do Assumption College count in this, seeing as many of their kids went straight into league ranks over the years...?

Cousins and Simon Black being the most famous.

Yes I did have the more "local" grassroots clubs in mind rather than tac cup clubs and state league clubs.

Lynwood Ferndale gave us Brad Dalziell

 

[PattoMan99]

Boy oh boy Calder Cannons footy factory! Oh boy! WOW WEE! BIG BOY!

 

[Bomberblitzer]

Spotswood had Sloane and Zaharakis, iirc.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Spotswood had Sloane and Zaharakis, iirc.

I'm fairly certain he played for Eltham. That disgraceful turncoat Callan Ward came from Spotswood though.

 

[Cobbler]

From Midvale Walters, Garlett, Yarran, Nic Nat and I'm sure a couple of others.

Pretty sure 3 of those blokes all had a bit of kick to kick at the local park.

 

[KGBeast]

North Ballarat have had a few. Plugger, Greg Burns, Stewart Gull, Paul Hills, Dale Lewis, Val Perovic, Michael Malthouse, Darren Jolly and Isaac Smith amongst others.

I'm pretty sure the Ashy Redbacks would have the best midfield out of all the junior clubs in Australia.

Ashy is the largest junior football club in Australia,
with over 650 members and 29 teams in the Yarra JFL and we are still growing!

We have had many of our players make it to AFL senior level such as
Jack Viney, Luke Ball, Tom Mitchell, Josh Kennedy (Syd), Patrick Ambrose,
Nick Smith, James Toohey, Toby Greene and
Tendai Mzungu just to mention some current players.

 

[master bate]

Andrew Gaff, Jack Billings, Luke McDonald, Jay Kennedy-Harris from Kew Comets.

Cousins and Simon Black being the most famous.

there was also Ibbotson and the Sandilands associated with the club - Jonathan Hay
