Must of been playin bout the same time HJ. What about some of these names during my days- C. Dunne, Pellegrino, D Inness (Broad.) D Jones, Ronnie (StM) W Old, T Robinson H McD Liddell Papa (Sey) Rowan Mills (Eur). Still the scariest of all was M Kinnear (Kilm) back in the U/11s.

How did Kristen "Saucehead/The Wanderer) Gaehl ever go in football? I hear he spent as much time on the field as he does in the pubs/clubs due to frequent bans!
What happened with his brother Jez this year at the Lions?

Just kidding about Blake van - the young fella can certainly ride but battles on the golf course as I reckon I've rolled him every time we go out!!!
One Kilmore bloke I left out earlier was Terry Ahearn. Complete oversight as Tez is a personal mate, was an exceptional junior footballer and is doing good things for the Blues in his current role as senior coach.
Doon, I ran into big tucky a while back at work. I assume he's an accountant based in Melb, as he was doing some contract audit work at the time.
Yeah i remember him,very developed younster. Don't know where he ended up but.
Actually spent a day at the Yarra Glen races wth the big Tuckster late last year when I attended Kieran "Mad Dog" McCrohan's Bucks Day. Can't remember what he said he's doing but he is living in Melbourne somewhere.
And it was swimming that the big man excelled at.

What a great thread to browse through. Absolutely cured my hangover. Cant stop grinning. Some absolute great memories.
I have to say Ronald Spykers from Stmary's stood out for me. Not just the fact that he was the only Asian in country Victoria at the time, but in under 12's he seemed to be 6ft 3 and averaged more disposals than greg williams and robert harvey together.
Justin Rooney...... He was a great junior, but was clearly visible that he had a short fuse, and I suspected his career wouldn't kick on too well.
Mark Kinnear was very good as well. Does anyone know if he plays anymore?

Whatever happened to Kieran? He was a fairly handy player who I'm sure suffered the affliction commonly known as gingervitis. Did he go to Assumption?
I'm pretty sure Kinnear went off the rails in a major way...heard he broke into a mates house looking for stuff to steal & sell to feed his addiction
Not a good story as he was one of the most natural footballers i've seen and a pleasure to watch, even when he was so young!
What about Wayne Kilmartin from Broadford Doona?

Have no idea what young fruity Kinnear is up to these days, but agree he was one very talented young man.
Unsure what happened to the Kilmartin's Junkie, the family musta left town 10-15 years ago at a guess.

Ha played under 10's with the Mad Dog, another who jumped ship to end up playing footy and cricket against us. Hey Grandy is he playing footy or cricket these days???
Thought we better try and revive this thread fella's, no doubt a few of you mighta caught up with rellies or mates over the Xmas break who may have had some names.
A cousin of mine (Paul Speechley) still remember Darren Comi as an out and out gun in his junior days - and I was at a 30th prior to Xmas where I caught up with Ashley Chapman who I reckon booted 100 for Wallan 16's white boots and all

Larry N. Gytis was a gun in his day...
mike hunt was also a gun although he was abit of a receiver and he couldnt play every 4 weeks because of the blood rule.
Mad Dog went to Abumption until Year 10 when he joined at STHS. After school he combined with Uni and with overseas travel and is now a teacher as some swisho private school in Melb. I'm pretty sure it's Wesley College.
No, I don't believe the Puppy is playing either sport.
Matthew Makin was a fella that popped up on this thread a couple of months back and lo and behold last week I was flicking through the Herald Sun and on a rural page or something there was a pic of this fella called Matt Makin (red hair and all) who I think they described as a Vet or something. Could it be the same one?

Wouldn't have thought it was him, Makes got into the banks after school, spent time at Crown and then back to the banks I thought.
I could be wrong though.
One bloke from our vintage I haven't heard of for a while was Anthony Skinner. Remember a day at Broady he got the ball in the back pocket and no bugger could catch him, ran all the way and goaled for Pucka . . . . there only score of the day, unfortunately there was many a day like that for Pucka, even though they always battled he was a standout.

Good get Doona! Yes, A. Skinner, Pucka's only shining light through some tough times. The toughest ask back in those days playing away against Pucka was negotiating the cliff on the way down to the ground from the rooms without half the side succumbing to serious injury.
I saw Ton Ton at a Seymour game a couple of seasons back. Looked well on the way to matching his old man's physique and had even less hair.
Think he might be living in Wodonga.
Yes, A Skinner was a star for the blue and whites, but let's not forget they also had one Chad "Pop" Rivett for a little while.
Sure was tough coming up against a guy that was 6 foot 8 in Under 12s.
